About this listen

This world has gone crazy! It's understandable. We are constantly bombarded with information, events, trends, and disruption. Things move so fast and furiously that we get overwhelmed by conflict and chaos. In the midst of all this, the temptation is to retreat - to go back in time to when life was simpler, slower, easier to navigate. We are seeing trends among younger people. trad-wives, homesteading, organic micro-farms, off-the-grid living. One of the more alarming trends that has popped up recently, ironically, in the Christian atmosphere, is a suggestion that we reimagine how we think about marriage - specifically bringing back polygamy - men having multiple wives! Where is this coming from? For sure, it is in the Bible, but is it the norm, or an accommodation by God in an ancient pagan culture? Where does the newfangled idea of polyamory fit in? Why can't we just leave well enough alone?
