Kyle interviews Neal Hardin on Assembly Bill 2943 in California and sexual orientation change therapy.  This is a bill being passed around in California, but listeners who are not citizens of California should care about this topic because of the freedoms it could affect.  We talk about what the bill says, Neal's concerns with the bill, and the nuances of orientation change therapy.

I interview Becket Cook on his journey from a lifestyle of gay relationships and Hollywood glamour to a disciple of Christ.  He also gives his thoughts on the biblical exegesis of Matthew Vines and how to minister to gay people.

You'll hear some dogs barking in the background a bit near the beginning, but it doesn't last long and it doesn't overpower the dialogue.
