In this week's episode, we tackle the decision made by the White House this week on student loan debt forgiveness. You can listen to what we think about debt forgiveness more broadly in Episode 18. But in this episode, we contend with the actual policy itself. Is it progressive? Is it regressive? What about long-term implications? To wrap up, we discuss some of the common reactions from Christians we've seen on social media -- and provide some cautions.
