March Madness, Trust Erodes : A college basketball betting scandal raises the bigger fear that even suspected game-rigging can make fans wonder whether what they’re watching is real. The Sexual Recession : Two new books spark a conversation about why fewer people are having sex , with the deeper issue framed as loneliness, screen-shaped isolation, and collapsing relational confidence. UK Abortion Alarm : The final segment takes up a proposed UK bill that they say would remove penalties for self-induced abortion at any stage of pregnancy, prompting a blunt moral critique. ========== Think Biblically: Conversations on Faith and Culture is a podcast from Talbot School of Theology at Biola University , which offers degrees both online and on campus in Southern California.
