One of the tactics being used in an increasing way within the "culture wars" is "deplatforming," trying to cut people whose ideas you disagree with off from having a platform with which to speak. In today's episode, Joe talks with a Catholic artist named Brett Lempe whose art show was cancelled simply because he's personally pro-life (amazingly, the show itself had nothing to do with abortion).

From claims of "evangi-dating" to being "unequally yoked," a lot is said about Catholics dating non-Catholics. But what does Catholic conversion look like in a relationship (dating or marriage) when one of you is Catholic, and one isn't? To get a better look at that up close, I interviewed Peter and Jessica Poindexter. Peter grew up Baptist, Jessica grew up Catholic, and here's the story of how they navigated questions of faith and conversion in the context of friendship, dating, and marriage.
