Show Notes
The Lindsay Clancy case sparks a heated debate in some circles as the guys wrestle with mental illness, personal responsibility, and whether modern culture has become too quick to diagnose away evil. Jase and Al draw on their own family’s experience with mental illness, while Zach reflects on his years working in pharmaceutical sales and questions how America approaches mental health treatment. Jase turns to Genesis and James to make the biblical case for justice and accountability, even when compassion is warranted.
