Fertility Fear and Loathing
Earlier today the NZ media published an article raising the alarm about increasing numbers of social media influencers speaking negatively about hormonal birth control while promoting the use of natural fertility methods instead. In this episode of The Dispatches I unpack the many truly fascinating ways that this media coverage unintentionally offers some very important insights into the dominant ideologies and secular dogmas of our age. ❤️ Become a supporter at: www.Patreon.com/LeftFootMedia  ❤️ WATCH the video verison on Substack: www.thecounterculture.substack.com

What Is The Christian Teaching on Civil Disobedience?
In light of the violence and destruction we’ve seen unfolding in Los Angeles over the past week or so, it seems pertinent to examine what Christianity teaches about civil disobedience. Is it morally acceptable? Are there limits? How does this apply to the crisis in LA? ❤️ Become a supporter at: www.Patreon.com/LeftFootMedia  ❤️ Substack: www.thecounterculture.substack.com    ✅ PODCAST | Christianity, Immigration and Border Control: https://the-dispatches.castos.com/episodes/christianity-immigration-and-border-control    ✅ PODCAST | The Grave Moral Problem of Hiroshima and Nagasaki: https://the-dispatches.castos.com/episodes/the-grave-moral-problem-of-hiroshima-and-nagasaki

Late last week the New Zealand State quietly published its first five year review of the extreme abortion law passed by the Ardern Labour government. In this podcast we take a deep dive into the report, and how it reveals an abortion regime of ideology, animus and control… but very little accountability. ❤️ Become a supporter at: www.Patreon.com/LeftFootMedia  ❤️ Substack: www.thecounterculture.substack.com
