Lindsay Clancy: The Case, The Culture, and The Church

CrossPolitic — Show Notes: The Lindsay Clancy Case, the Culture, and the Church Gabe, Pastor Toby, and Knox take up the Lindsay Clancy trial — the Massachusetts mother who killed her three children while on a cocktail of psychiatric medications — and work through the case, the culture, and the church's responsibility. They address toxic empathy from women at the courthouse, the pharmakeia connection to CrossPolitic's latest documentary, what Genesis 9 says about moral agency regardless of mental state, why biblical justice demands the death penalty Massachusetts removed in 1947, and what it means for men — fathers, pastors, husbands — to take responsibility for a culture they helped disciple into this.

The Rise of The Pharmaceutical gods

Pharmakeia — Show Notes: Fight Laugh Feast Documentary In this Fight Laugh Feast documentary, CrossPolitic traces a single Greek word — pharmakeia — from Homer's Odyssey through the book of Revelation to argue that the ancient world never separated medicine from sorcery, and that the modern West's attempt to draw that line may be its most consequential mistake. The film follows materialism's promise from the Big Bang to the therapy couch, tracks the ladder from prescription pharmaceuticals to ayahuasca retreats in Peru, and asks why the men who most loudly deny the existence of demons are increasingly found in dark rooms communing with named spirit entities. Along the way it draws on C.S. Lewis, Aldous Huxley, Peter Hitchens, and the testimony of a man who sat in fifteen ayahuasca ceremonies — and what finally set him free. The answer is not another ceremony. It is guilt, repentance, and the One who drank the cup fully awake so we wouldn't have to. Timestamps 0:24 — What is a woman?
