www.patreon.com/claytontynerThis week:-We look at the rumors swirling around Jefferey Epstein’s Client List. The world was promised a massive bombshell as the details of the Epstein enterprise were set to be released; however, all we received were facts already widely known. Will we ever know the truth of what happened on the notorious island and who exactly was involved - and more importantly, will there ever be justice for those who were harmed?-After the protests of 2020, DEI programs and departments sprang up in corporations all across the country. Millions upon millions of dollars were spent seeking to create Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, especially in the booming Tech fields. Now, a few years later, the tides have turned, and companies are slashing the DEI budgets or deleting the departments altogether. The latest argument over this came via Twitter, where Billionaires Elon Musk and Mark Cuban fought over the merits of Equity in the workplace. Is DEI really dying, and how should Christians feel about that?-Speaking of DEI creating controversy, Disney is promoting the newest director for their upcoming Star Wars project. The storied franchise has taken massive hits after its last trilogy missed the mark worse than a stormtrooper on the firing range. Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy is best known for directing Feminist documentaries and will now take her shot at crafting a story in a galaxy far, far away! Is this another “Woke” Disney disaster, or will the Force be strong with this one? -All that AND ONE look at the biggest social and political issue today, the US/Mexico border. We continue to reach new records of illegal border crossings, with December of 2023 recording more than 225,000 apprehensions. The number of illegal migrants entering the US has now officially passed the number of American children being born each month. This is both a LEGAL and a HUMANITARIAN issue. As Christians, how should we think about border policy? Does compassion equal an open border? Should we feel bad if our inclination is to restore law and order? Let’s find out together On Episode 45 of the Clayton Tyner Podcast!The Clayton Tyner Podcast looks at current cultural issues through the lens of Scripture’s ancient wisdom.

Why would the Palestinian cause be so against the celebration of Christmas? How exactly does this help their cause?-In political news, both Colorado and Maine have removed Donald Trump from the Primary ballot with an eye toward removing him altogether. Thirty other states have filed similar cases! Is this the weaponization of the justice system destroying our democracy OR brave public servants PRESERVING democracy by eliminating a dangerous character?-Harvard President Claudine Gay has now been accused of almost 50 instances of plagiarism in her official scholarly work. If a Harvard student plagiarizes, they will likely be kicked out of school; however, there seems to be no repercussions for the President herself! How can this kind of hypocrisy stand? -All that and one look at the insane cycle of New Year Resolutions. We make them, we break them, and then we start all over the next year!

The woman, an IG model, claims she is against abortion and doesn’t want to go through with it. Desperate, he even sent her $100K… While Social Media seems divided on this issue- the answer is actually quite obvious! -A display in the Iowa statehouse put up by the Satanic Temple was destroyed by a former Mississippi house candidate. Like most things the satanic temple does publicly, the goat-headed display was put in place as a pushback and troll on the traditional nativity scene - even asking for placement as close to the manger as possible. The debate rages over whether the man was justified in his attack on the display or not, even Christians can’t quite agree.-Boston Mayor Michelle Wu hosted a Christmas dinner for elected representatives of color, excluding the white members of the local government. This drew controversy after seven white members of the City Council were accidentally sent the invite. Is this a case of “reverse racism” where some are being left out because of their “whiteness”? Is it okay to be exclusive or even exclusionary at times? -All that AND ONE look at the direction Pope Francis seems to be headed in on issues of sexuality and marriage. The Pontiff signed on to new directions encouraging specific blessings for those in relationships outside the Biblical norm. Some see this as a great act of grace, while others see it as a departure from the teachings of the Bible. What lies at the bottom of this issue? Let’s find out together On Episode 43 of the CTP! The Clayton Tyner Podcast looks at current cultural issues through the lens of Scripture’s ancient wisdom.

Support the Podcast! www.patreon.com/ClaytonTynerThis week:-Donald Trump stirred controversy by claiming he would be “Dictator for a day” if he got back into office! Was this a serious threat of authoritarian rule, a troll of those who are convinced he is a fascist, or somewhere in the middle? What does his statement uncover about the state of politics today?-In a recent interview, Elon Musk was asked about the fortune 500 companies boycotting him and the “X” platform. His response shocked everyone as he looked into camera and told them to “Go “F” themselves”… Is this a wise approach to his situation and is there something that the CHURCH could learn from this non-apologetic approach?-Oklahoma Thunder basketball star Josh Giddey finds himself in serious hot-water as allegations about an inappropriate relationship with a minor have surfaced. The damning social media posts went viral leaving everyone wondering how someone could be this blatant with their indiscretions. What could we be missing with this situation and what deeper issue does this point to in our culture?-ALL THAT and one look at the re-emergence of the ”DINKs.” The social acronym stands for “Double Income No Kids” and social media has been flooded with DINKs bragging about how amazing their lifestyle is in comparison to families with kids. While the videos are good-natured in tone, they speak to an extremely misguided view of life and purpose. All that and more On Episode 42 of the CTP! The Clayton Tyner Podcast looks at current cultural issues through the lens of Scripture’s ancient wisdom.

How could this possibly be rationalized and what spiritual reality lies behind this trend?-Marvel’s latest big-budget blockbuster, “THE MARVELS” struggled through the lowest opening weekend in the history of the MCU. For years, they could count on even their most mediocre characters churning out half a billion dollars. Now, they are LOSING close to the same amount on certain projects. Critics have pointed to the lackluster leading character, inherent sexism in moviegoers, poor scheduling and marketing failures to explain this disaster. I actually think it may be FAR simpler than that and I’ll show you a contrasting project to make my point!-Reading Rainbow star LaVar Burton recently attracted controversy at the National Book Awards by joking he may have to THROW HANDS with any attenders who are a part of the Moms For Liberty group. This got a massive applause from the crowd!… So what crimes have the Moms for Liberty committed to make Geordi La Forge so angry?!

In the post-game press conference she said, “If there was a God, this is proof that there isn’t.” / This caught the attention of social media and instantly went viral.

Why did the UK effectively end the life of this child and What lies behind this UNIMAGINABLE decision?All that AND ONE look at Kenneth Darlington, the Panama man who shot and killed two climate activists who were blocking traffic.

The expectation that the reality of murdering a retired police chief may have hit them and sobered them up was quickly broken when the teens spent the court date laughing mockingly and even flipping off the family of the deceased… How does a young person’s heart become THIS hardened? Where does this level of EVIL actually come from?!-Speaking of Crime - An investigation into a Covid-Era decision by Kentucky governor Andy Beshear has brought new heat onto his gubernatorial reelection. In 2020, Beshear signed off on the early release of 1,700 inmates to alleviate the spread of Covid. However, since then 882 of those released have been charged with new felonies while hundreds more committed new misdemeanors. All told, around 70% have found themself back in the system, and some of the crimes were heinous and even deadly!… What does this tell us about our misguided views of human nature and justice? -Earlier this year, Netflix released a docuseries following 3 NFL quarterbacks.

Danis spent the last 3 months savagely attacking Logan’s fiancé online and yet, before the fight, Logan forgave him!

So who is Jesus to Logan and What does this mean for Logan’s future faith?         -As the Israel-Hamas war continues on, it is becoming increasingly difficult to get good information on what’s happening. This was highlighted when almost every major media outlet reported that Israel destroyed a Gaza hospital killing 500 innocent people. This reporting has had massive consequence AND it turns out is completely false. How did MSM get this SO wrong?        -Back at home, the House of Representatives continues to be in disarray as the republicans struggle to find a new speaker of the house. A small minority of super conservatives got rid of McCarthy and now a small minority of more liberal republicans have voted down Jim Jordan. Should such a small group be able to derail the entire house? What is the real issue going on in Congress?All that and one look at a viral video from a recent college grad who is outraged that she hasn’t been offered a $200,000 a year job yet!
