Ep 40 - Deconstructing Bart Campolo

Today’s raZe the roof is a blast from the past when Joe Miller and Leroy Hill sat down in 2018 to unpack Bart Campolo’s break from Christianity—showing it wasn’t born in a vacuum of urban hardship. The guys trace how his turn to Humanism flows naturally from the theology he inherited from his father, Tony, and explore how believers can pursue real compassion without slipping into the dead-ends of existentialism.

Ep 39 - Betty Friedan’s Toxic Feminism

If you want to understand how feminism has shaped the mind of American women over the last seventy years—and the cultural arc from Doris Day, to Buffy the Vampire Slayer; from Ruth Bader Ginsberg to Rosanne; fromTaylor Swift to Dylan Mulvaney, the man who Bud Light imagines is a woman—then join Joe Miller and his co-host Leroy Hill as they unpack Betty Friedan’s 1963 book, The Feminine Mystique. Her book did more than critique the suburban housewife of the Leave it to Beaver era; it succeeded in redefining womanhood and femininity in modern American life. The conversation wraps with practical guidance for Christian women seeking to stand firm and flourish in a culture saturated with sexual confusion, fear of families, and a female identity crisis.
