Unearth the profound intricacies of spiritual friendships, the Southern Baptist Convention controversy and, surprisingly, horror movies, as we journey alongside our guest, Eve Tushnet. Eve, an award-winning author (Gay and Catholic), blogger and freelance writer, brings her unique insights and experiences to shed light on these thought-provoking topics.

We scrutinize the challenging decisions institutions face in such circumstances, highlighting the importance of doing what's right, even when it’s difficult or uncomfortable. The conversation shifts to the sphere of adoption, ignited by a controversial tweet, sparking a debate on moral obligations and the potential harms and implications of adoption on identity formation.

Eve introduces us to her love for horror movies, sharing her reviews of international Catholic horror films and American classics, and uncovering the unexpected ways horror films can bring messages of hope. To round off this enlightening discussion, we delve into the practical aspects of deepening friendships, with Eve sharing her advice on building and maintaining these crucial relationships.
