Segment 2
• Church hurt is real—but should it cause you to abandon the local church?
• Kevin DeYoung explains why you can’t separate Jesus from His body and bride.
• Been burned by a church? Here’s what to look for when finding a healthy one.
Segment 3
• A double-murder case is dismissed because the accused is mentally incompetent—what about justice for the victims?

• What happens when a culture loses a biblical understanding of human value?
Segment 4
