We delve into what is true charity in our actions, in the plight of seeking fair and true Christian justice, and also covering mimetic violence and how Christ is the answer to all.

S03 Ep2 - The problem with High Value Women

This episode will be a bit controversial for our culture's ears. Our podcast hosts chat about a more recent trend in the culture of being a 'high value woman' and reference a particular video-podcast show where a group of women and a man were asked to be part of a conversation on men, women and dating. One of the young women becomes triggered by the male interviewee's response to her question 'How would you describe a high value woman?'.  Padre and Stina, have a go at answering that very question, and outline the problem with having a concept of 'high value woman' in our society.
