Cultural Update: Talarico's Progressive Christianity; Epstein Files and Moral Unity; Supreme Court Backs Parental Rights

• Supreme Court Backs Parental Rights: The Supreme Court issued a 6-3 emergency injunction blocking California's policy that required schools to hide students' gender transitions from their parents, affirming that parents—not the state—hold primary authority in their children's upbringing.
• Progressive Christianity Enters Texas Politics: James Talarico, a self-described progressive Christian who won the Texas Senate primary, claims to offer a faith-based alternative to the Christian right.
• Epstein Files and Moral Unity: The near-universal outrage over the Epstein revelations is a rare moment of cross-partisan moral agreement.
• Listener Question: Attending a "Believer-Unbeliever" Wedding: A listener who won't attend same-sex weddings wonders whether consistency requires skipping the wedding of a Christian sibling marrying a non-Christian.
• Listener Question: Protestant Wrestles With Catholicism: A listener considers converting to Catholicism.
• Listener Question: AI and the End Times: A listener asks whether AI could play a role in the rise of the Antichrist or the mark of the beast.
