21. The Value of Life | What Are We Talking About? | Ben Lewis

<p>First, we discuss the viral story surrounding YouTuber Jesse Ridgeway and his wife Ashley, who publicly shared their decision to terminate a pregnancy after receiving a Down syndrome diagnosis. What does this reveal about how our culture defines human value? From a Christian worldview, does disability diminish dignity, or does every life carry worth because it bears the image of God?</p><p>Next, we break down Missouri Senator Josh Hawley&#39;s newly passed anti-child trafficking legislation. With over 104 million suspected child exploitation images and videos reported in a single year and only a handful of federal forensic analysts dedicated to identifying victims, this issue is bigger than politics. Why should every American care, and what does Scripture teach about protecting the vulnerable?</p><p>Finally, we take a look at reality TV personality Spencer Pratt&#39;s surprising mayoral campaign and the broader conversation surrounding election integrity, voter participation, and civic responsibility.</p><p>Topics Covered:<br>• The Down syndrome abortion controversy<br>• Human dignity and the image of God<br>• Josh Hawley&#39;s anti-child trafficking legislation<br>• The growing child exploitation crisis in America<br>• Biblical responsibility to protect children<br>• Spencer Pratt&#39;s political campaign<br>• Election participation and civic engagement</p><p>Scripture References:<br>• Psalm 139:13-16<br>• John 9:1-3<br>• Matthew 18:5-6<br>• Romans 13:1-4</p><p>Whether you agree or disagree, this episode challenges listeners to think deeply about life, truth, justice, and what it means to apply a biblical worldview to today&#39;s headlines.</p><p>My family and I have also started an online ministry with monthly messages, please check it out, our passion is to reach the lost:)</p><p><a href="www.428ministries.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">www.428ministries.com</a></p><p><a href="www.youtube.com/@428ministries" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">www.youtube.com/@428ministries</a></p><p>Subscribe, share, and join the conversation.</p><p><strong>Host: Ben Lewis</strong></p><p><strong>Website: </strong><a href="https://upnextentertainment.com/428podcasts.php">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠<strong>⁠⁠428 Podcasts⁠</strong>⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a><strong>⁠</strong></p><p><strong>Email: benlewis.upnext@gmail.com</strong></p><p>Record Date: 06/08/2026</p>

19. Suckers For Division | What Are We Talking About? | Ben Lewis

<p><strong>Are we being played?</strong></p><p>In this episode, we break down what I’m calling a Division Causing Event — the moments that pit people against each other and quietly profit off the chaos. From the Bad Bunny halftime controversy to the TPUSA concert debate, we dig into how two entertainment choices turned into a cultural battlefield overnight.</p><p>Was it really about music? Politics? Identity? Or was it manufactured outrage designed to keep us fighting while someone else cashes in?</p><p>Using real social media reactions, military perspectives, and a brutally honest look at how algorithms shape perception, we explore why people jump to extremes, why nuance disappears online, and how easily we’re conditioned to see enemies instead of neighbors.</p><p>No yelling. No team jerseys. Just a conversation about how division gets sold — and why so many of us keep buying it.</p><p>If you’ve ever wondered why everything feels like a culture war lately… this one’s for you.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Host: Ben Lewis</strong></p><p><strong>Website: </strong><a href="https://upnextentertainment.com/428podcasts.php">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠<strong>⁠⁠428 Podcasts⁠</strong>⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a><strong>⁠</strong></p><p><strong>Email: benlewis.upnext@gmail.com</strong></p><p>Record Date: 02/10/2026</p>
