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.
