There’s a new Angel Studios movie out called “Sound of Hope: The Story of Possum Trot,” which tells the true story of Donna and Reverend W.C. Martin who began adopting children from a local foster system and encouraged their parishioners to do the same. In all, 22 families adopted 77 children and ignited a movement for vulnerable children everywhere. Gus is joined by the movie’s writer/producer Rebekah Weigel who talks about her experiences meeting the individuals involved in this story and how it impacted her. Afterwards, Gus invites listeners who have adoption stories to call in and share them.

Also, the Supreme Court session just ended and, over the last several days, several rulings have come down involving many important cases. Gus is joined by attorney/political analyst/author Gayle Trotter and they discuss and break down their rulings on presidential immunity, homeless encampments in public areas, the conflicting mixture of government and social media, the Chevron doctrine, the Enron law being used against January 6^th defendants and the Idaho emergency room abortion case.

And Gus goes over one more court ruling, this time out of the Wisconsin State Supreme Court, involving outspoken pro-life advocate Brian Aish who was barred from being near Planned Parenthood nurse Nancy Kindschy after he regularly encouraged her to repent. He would tell her to change her ways because she could die at any moment, which she perceived as a threat. The court ruled that a speaker must act recklessly regarding whether their words will be perceived as a “true threat,” which Aish did not do. Gus talks about how the first words out of Jesus when he began his public ministry was, “Repent,” and just because people may not like hearing it, it doesn’t mean they can’t say it.
