When Jeff and Cat Leopard learned their daughter Adelyne had Trisomy 18, they were told she was “incompatible with life,” pressured to terminate, and given a countdown on a calendar. Instead, as Christians who believe every human being is made in the image of God, they chose life, and then fought for the medical care that would honor their daughter’s dignity. What followed was heartbreak, advocacy, hospital corridors, hard conversations… and an unexpected, stubborn hope.

You’ll hear the Leopards’ full journey from the cold, clinical appointment that offered only abortion or “comfort care,” to the physicians who finally said, “We’re going to do everything we can.” We also talk candidly about what Trisomy 18 is, how the “incompatible with life” label is often used, and why Christians must think clearly about personhood, human value, and the worldview assumptions driving modern bioethics. Jeff also shares how he teaches students to spot the cracks in naturalism, and why pro-life conviction isn’t just a political position—it’s a worldview lived out in real suffering, real love, and real courage.

In this jam-packed (and super practical) conversation, I sits down with Elizabeth Urbanowicz, founder of Foundation Worldview, to tackle “the talk” for kids ages 4–10—without the awkwardness, the shame, or the purity-culture baggage.

Elizabeth models exact, age-appropriate language for:

Bodies + biology (male/female, privacy, and protection)

Sex + marriage (framed as a covenant promise, not a dirty secret)

Reproduction (simple, clear, and biblical)

Pornography (the “Stop, Run, Tell” plan every child needs)

Gender confusion + transgender claims (truth with compassion)

Homosexuality (God’s design, sin’s distortion, and the hope of the gospel)

Masturbation (when and how to address it)

We also discuss the modesty conversation, responding to the painful message many girls heard in church: “Cover up or men will lust.” Instead, we reframe modesty as redirecting attention back to God...without making the body feel inherently shameful.

If you’ve been hesitant because you don’t want to “mess it up,” this episode will put tools in your hand and confidence in your words.

If someone told you the Gospels were “anonymous legends written decades later,” would you know how to answer without panic-googling?

In this episode, Historian Adam Claason joins me for a deep (but very accessible) conversation on gospel reliability. We discuss who actually wrote Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John...and does it matter?

We tackle the viral claim that “the Gospels never name their authors” (true)… and why that doesn’t mean the church just made the names up. Adam breaks down how ancient historians evaluated sources, why eyewitness testimony carried weight in the Greco-Roman world, what Luke is doing in his opening lines, and how the “late legendary development” theory doesn’t fit the evidence nearly as well as people assume.

If you’ve ever wondered:

Were the Gospels written by eyewitnesses—or by strangers pretending to be them?

Were they written too late to be historically trustworthy?

Why early Christians were so unified on authorship (and why we don’t find competing names)

What “eyewitness primacy” is, and why it changed the conversation, this one will equip you to think clearly, respond confidently, and trust that Christianity isn’t built on “cleverly devised tales,” but on testimony grounded in real history.
