    Ep. 316 - JLTY Plus: The Sin of Empathy with Dr. Joe Rigney
    May 19 2025
    Dr. Joe Rigney joins Kira to talk about empathy - what is it, why is it so destructive and how have we misunderstood it both in the church and society in general? Rigney discusses his new book, “The Sin of Empathy,” and why we need to “sober-minded” rather than peddlers of pity.
    “The main virtue that I commend is sober-mindedness. This is, another biblical term. And if you think about what does the word sober-minded mean, well, normally you think of sober in terms of drunkenness and alcohol, right? If you get drunk on alcohol, you're not sober, and so you need to sober up. The basic biblical claim then is you can be drunk on more than just alcohol.”
    Rigney is Fellow of Theology at New Saint Andrews College. He lives in Moscow, ID with his wife and three sons. Find his book on Amazon or wherever books are sold https://www.amazon.com/Sin-Empathy-Compassion-Its-Counterfeits/dp/B0DV3L5KR3

    Ep. 315 - Black America Is Normalizing All the Wrong Things
    May 6 2025
    This week Kira takes on the controversial Texas stabbing that has ignited yet another race war in the media. Motivations of the case aside, Kira explores some deeper questions: Where are all our Black male leaders and what exactly are we normalizing in our own community? How does this case underscore a larger issue within the Black American community? What are our responsibilities to ourselves and the bridging of the racial divide? What would happen if we changed how we communicated our priorities?
    This isn’t an episode about who Kira thinks is right or wrong in this case. This is an episode about what Kira thinks is right and wrong about how we’re addressing this case.

    Ep. 310 - Is Gavin Newsom’s New Podcast a Smart Move?
    Mar 16 2025
    Kira listened to CA Governor Gavin Newsom’s new podcast so you don’t have to. Some people are worried about conservatives platforming a radical leftist with aims at the White House. Some others are worried about their progressive hero rubbing elbows with conservative influencers. Is the podcast any good? Is it a threat to Republicans or a threat to Gavin himself?

  • Ep. 309 - School Board Scandal

    Ep. 309 - School Board Scandal
    Mar 7 2025
    In 2022, parent-candidate Madison Miner won a spot on the Orange Unified School District school board, defeating a 20 year incumbent. A year later, she and another conservative board member were recalled by a massive union campaign. The district then proceeded to approve a nearly 10% pay raise for teachers. Shady, but not illegal. Unless...

    In recent months, Miner and others have uncovered an adulterous affair between school board President Ana Page and the president of the teachers union (OUEA) Greg Goodlander. Goodlander has since stepped down from his position, but the situation leaves parents asking - how long has this been going on and was there any conflict of interest during the pay raise negotiations? BTW, this pay raise will effectively bankrupt the district, per their own superintendent.

    Public records requests have been sent out. Miner joins the show to ask (and answer) some important questions.

    Across America, union-controlled school boards depend on being invisible to enact shady policy and conduct intimidation campaigns against concerned parents. Even if this isn't your district, this story affects every district. If this is happening in one place, it's surely happening in others. In order to fix the system, we must expose corruption at every level.
