I hope you enjoy today's program.

MARY REICHARD, HOST: Good morning! Tennessee’s law protecting children from transgender procedures is upheld in court. Anomaly or part of a larger trend?

MYRNA BROWN, HOST: That’s ahead on Culture Friday with Katie McCoy. Also, a new show from the Marvel Universe that doesn’t require a ton of background to enjoy.

AUDIO: Imagine a world where information can’t be trusted. Not very hard, is it?

And a collection of songs written to pull you out of your musical comfort zone. I’ve got this month’s music review!

REICHARD: It’s Friday, July 14th. This is The World and Everything in It from listener-supported WORLD Radio. I’m Mary Reichard.

BROWN: And I’m Myrna Brown. Good morning!

REICHARD: Up next, Kristen Flavin with today’s news.

KRISTEN FLAVIN, NEWS ANCHOR: Actors on strike » Hollywood’s largest union is officially on strike.

The actors union SAG-AFTRA tried to negotiate new contracts for over a month but could not reach an agreement with production studios.

Union President Fran Drescher:

Drescher: I went in in earnest, thinking that we would be able to avert a strike, but we had no choice. We are being victimized by a very greedy entity.

Drescher says studios refuse to raise actor salaries and residuals to match the profits of the streaming video era.

Actors also want safeguards to protect against studios using artificial intelligence to replace them on screen.

Drescher: If we don't stand tall right now. We are all going to be in jeopardy of being replaced by machines and big business.

Film and TV writers have been on strike since May.

With actors walking out, too, production studios will come to a screeching halt.

White House Cocaine » Republicans are criticizing the Secret Service for closing its investigation into a stash of cocaine found at the White House without identifying a suspect.

Congresswoman Nancy Mace:

MACE: For me, it's just interesting that every time there's something strange going on with the President Biden or his family or his administration with the White House, no one can ever seem to find an answer.

Officials say they found no fingerprint or DNA evidence on a bag of cocaine left in the West Wing.

Surveillance footage did not help identify a specific suspect.

Congresswoman Lauren Boebert:

BOEBERT: They are already looking to close this, sweep it under the rug, move away, on to the next Biden crime family scandal.

Authorities found the bag of drugs in a cubbyhole area where staff and guests store mobile phones.

Over-the-counter birth control » Drugmaker Perrigo is the first company to get FDA approval to sell a birth control pill without a prescription.

The FDA on Thursday approved the company’s request to sell Opill over-the-counter. It will be available in stores early next year.

Ibis Reproductive Health President Kelly Blanchard.

BLANCHARD: Opill is a progestin-only daily birth control pill. So like many people are familiar with, you take one pill every day.

The synthetic hormone progestin causes changes to a woman’s menstrual cycle and prevents most pregnancies from occurring. The drug was first approved by the FDA in 1973.

Before yesterday’s decision, some FDA scientists raised concerns that some women may need a doctor’s help to understand the instructions and risks associated with the drug.

The approval does not extend to any other birth control pills. Perrigo has not said how much the drug will cost.

U.S. data breach » The State Department is investigating a data breach by Chinese hackers.

Microsoft said the hackers accessed the employee email accounts of about two dozen organizations including the U.S. State and Commerce departments.

Officials say none of the hacked data was classified.

State Department spokesman Matthew Miller:

Miller: We took immediate steps to secure our systems. I don't want to get into the details because it does remain under investigation.

Microsoft says the hack started in mid-May, and ran for about a month.

Miller was questioned about whether the hack was motivated by Secretary of State Tony Blinken’s recent visit to China.

Reporter off camera: You discovered this before or after the secretary's trip to Beijing?

Miller: I am not at liberty to say the exact date other than that it was last month.

Chinese Foreign Ministry says the U.S. is spreading disinformation and deflecting blame by not giving public details on the attacks.

Pittsburgh shooter » A jury has decided that a man who killed 11 people in a 2018 synagogue shooting in Pittsburgh is eligible for the death penalty. WORLD’s Josh Schumacher has more.

JOSH SCHUMACHER: Jurors reached that decision in roughly two hours of deliberation.

The sentencing phase of the trial now centers on whether the shooter should receive the death penalty or life in prison. He was convicted last month on 63 criminal counts ranging from murder to hate crimes.

The government is seeking the death penalty for the shooter who spent six months planning his attack before storming into the Tree of Life synagogue and opening fire with an AR-15-style rifle.

His lawyers have said that his actions and motivations were influenced by severe mental illness.

For WORLD, I’m Josh Schumacher.

Mass grave in Sudan » The United Nations is investigating a mass grave in Sudan where nearly 90 people were buried, including women and children.

Officials say the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces killed the people last month in Sudan’s West Darfur region.

U.N. Spokeswoman Ravina Shamdasani:

SHAMDASANI: Local people were forced to dispose of the bodies in a mass grave, denying those killed a decent burial in one of the city’s cemeteries.

RSF paramilitary officials have denied any involvement in the killings, and said the group is not involved in the unrest in the region.

Some of the victims belong to the ethnic African Masalit tribe.

Ethnically fueled fighting has escalated alongside the ongoing conflict between the R-S-F and Sudan’s military.

Vermont Rains » Vermont officials have confirmed the first death from recent floods.

Officials said a 63-year-old man from Barre City drowned in his home.

More rains soaked the waterlogged state Thursday night.

Vermont Gov. Phil Scott:

SCOTT: This is hard news for many and folks will want to think this is over. As soon as the weather breaks on Saturday, but it's critical that Vermonters understand that we need to remain vigilant and prepared. Do not be complacent.

Rainfall totals for Vermont are expected to be lower than they were earlier this week. Still, saturated soil and rivers running high in the Southern part of the state increase the risk of flooding. More rain is expected today.

I'm Kristen Flavin.

Straight ahead: Culture Friday with Katie McCoy. Plus, a new approach to singing the Psalms. 

This is The World and Everything in It.

MYRNA BROWN, HOST: It’s the 14th day of July 2023.

Glad to have you along for today’s edition of The World and Everything in It. Good morning, I’m Myrna Brown.

MARY REICHARD, HOST: And I’m Mary Reichard. It’s Culture Friday.

Joining us for that is Katie McCoy, director of womens’ ministry at Texas Baptists and author of To Be a Woman. Katie, good morning.

KATIE McCOY: Great to be with you all.

BROWN: Katie, along with what I get to do here on The World And Everything In It, I also get to work with the WORLD Watch team. WORLD Watch is our video news program for students.

I bring this up because a couple of weeks ago we received feedback from a 15-year-old teenage girl, after a story we covered on abortion. And here’s part of what she wrote, “My favorite news stories have been where you incorporate God’s word, the news and education into one story. However, I have become increasingly upset by your stories on abortion.”

She continued with,“To quote your reporter from today’s story you said, “Easier access to kill more babies.” With that sentence alone you can trigger women that have chosen to have abortions. You seem to be targeting people that are pro-choice, without looking at their point of view and telling the children that you are supposed to be educating that people are simply killing babies, when the issue is much broader and much more complicated. “

Towards the end she wrote, “I encourage you to look more into the Christian view of the other side and report both instead of looking at it in a slanted or biased way.”

How would you respond, Katie, to this teenage girl?

McCOY: I wish I could talk to this young woman, it sounds like she's very aware of the factors that might cause a woman to get an abortion and that she really cares for the women who have them. But you know, it's because we care for the women who either have had abortions or are vulnerable to getting one that we need to be very clear about what abortion entails and just how damaging it often is to the women who receive them. Ephesians 4 tells us we need to speak the truth in love, and that means we need both compassion and conviction. Now, our world tells us that those two things are incongruent, that compassion requires that we don't have or express convictions, and we do that in the name of tolerance. And we can and we should recognize the factors that influence many young women towards getting abortions. But you know, recognizing those vulnerabilities doesn't change whether abortion itself is right or wrong. If anything, it helps us understand and help young women who are considering an abortion to choose life. In other words, we express both compassion and conviction, both truth and love. And one last thing, when she talks about the Christian view, sometimes people don't realize the historic Christian view of abortion has always been to condemn abortion as wrong and to support women who are perhaps in the middle of a crisis or faced with an unplanned pregnancy to help them choose life. In fact, it's one of the reasons that so many women in the early church, in the first few centuries of the church, flocked to Christianity, because abortion was happening, and it was so very damaging to the women who received them. So historically, the church, the people of God, the witnesses of Christ have been pro-life and anti-abortion.

BROWN: Katie, with your new book out now, To Be A Woman, I would imagine you are watching closely what’s happening in Tennessee. Last weekend, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit upheld that state’s ban on transgender treatment for children. Chief Judge Jeff Sutton wrote the opinion.

Is that kind of ruling an anomaly or are you hopeful for more decisions like that to come?

McCOY: It's far from an anomaly. Now Tennessee is joining not only some other states, but several countries that are reversing course and preventing so-called gender affirming care among children, Norway, Sweden, Finland, the United Kingdom, these are countries that have been on the cutting edge of what we would call progressive gender affirming care for teens and they are recognizing that these procedures are not helping teen mental health, you know, in our own country, something that gets buried, or at least it demonstrates just how bias most of our media is, is that our own FDA, Food and Drug Administration released a report warning about puberty blockers and some of the side effects are absolutely horrific, like brain swelling, vision disturbance, damage to a cranial nerve. There was a whistleblower in St. Louis just a few months ago who talked about the effects of cross-sex hormones, testosterone to a biological female, how it caused uncontrollable bleeding as a result of that testosterone, and its effect on her male genitalia, because her body was not meant to have foreign testosterone injections. And it's important to note, these are not value-based decisions. These are not religiously driven objections, they're just looking at the data, does so-called gender affirming care, help, or hurt adolescent and children, mental health, those who are gender-dysphoric, or transgender. And you know, Myrna, every time I see data about puberty blockers or cross-sex hormones, and the damage that it causes, I think back to just a few years ago, when an over-the-counter-drug for heartburn was cleared from the shelves, you might remember that it was something called, oh, I don't know the exact name but it was Zantac, and you could get Zantac at any drugstore, and grocery store in the country. Well, they found that it could cause a risk of cancer. And within weeks, you saw this drug, this medication was completely cleared out. You know, if this were any other issue other than gender identity and sexual orientation, I think we would see people completely pull out the stops, stop it across the board, there would be congressional hearings, this would be on nightly news. This would be a national emergency, and something worthy of intervention. It certainly deserves that. And that's why I'm so glad Tennessee has joined states like Texas and Florida, in banning these procedures along with other countries that are doing that as well.

REICHARD: Speaking of your book To Be a Woman, which I am reading! Clarity of thought is so important. Hence my question: you write of the “self-contradicting pattern of cultural rhetoric” around gender identity. What are some examples of this?

McCOY: It's a great question. First, thanks for reading, and second, one example of that self-contradicting pattern, I saw it online just this week, someone was claiming that they had identified a genetic cause or a brain-based reason for trans identity. Now, first of all, scientists have not located that and then even if they have, they couldn't necessarily say whether it is originating in the brain or the result of neuroplasticity. Neuroplasticity is the way God designed our brains to create new neural pathways whenever we learn or do something new. Your beliefs, your thought patterns, and then especially your actions are all creating new neural pathways or reinforcing existing ones. So all of this talk about whether gender identity or sexual orientation is brain-based, is a really difficult thing to nail down because even if we woke up tomorrow, and found that there was some type of cellular commonality among trans identified people, we wouldn't be able to say which came first, the brain or the neuroplasticity, affecting the brain. But set that aside, one of the most self-refuting things about that is this: If the whole point of trans identity says that my body has nothing to do with my gender, then why do you need a brain-based reason? Doesn't that completely self-refute the entire claim of gender ideology? It does, but I think it even kind of betrays something else. It it shows that impulse that need that hidden instinct that even people may not want to acknowledge. It's one of the ways that Romans one says we try to suppress the truth that our physical world tells us something our biological self is revelatory of who we truly are. So when you see people trying to say there's a brain-based reason for trans identity, not only is it self-refuting, but they're kind of telling on themselves, they're demonstrating that they kind of instinctively know that the body and gender should align.

REICHARD: And how is it that so many people refuse to acknowledge what is evident?

McCOY: So the reason this area of life seems to be put into another category, goes back to a lot of the ideas that we have believed in our culture about sex and gender. So sexual orientation and gender identity or SOGI is synonymous with the fullness of our identity in our culture, today. It is the most important thing about you. It is the defining aspect of who you are. And so because of that, we are not only seeing so many people define themselves according to their SOGI, their sexual orientation or gender identity, but we also see this push to plant these ideas in the minds of children, whether through education or entertainment. I saw something perhaps you did too, of a father his his video went viral, where he was, he was speaking with such outrage over how his child's pediatrician sat down with his son, his nine year old son, and the first question was to ask him whether he was a boy or a girl or non-binary. See, these are things that are not only agendas, but they are agendas informed by philosophical and political ideas that we have been ingesting for years. And we're seeing the fruition of those things. So, much of it goes back to this idea that the core of who we truly are, is defined by our SOGI, not that we are created in God's image, not our relationships even to other people, but our psychologized self-perception.

BROWN: All right. Katie McCoy is director of womens’ ministry at Texas Baptists and author of To Be a Woman. Katie, thank you!

McCOY: Always great to be with you both.

MARY REICHARD, HOST: Today is Friday, July 14th. Thank you for turning to WORLD Radio to help start your day.

Good morning. I’m Mary Reichard.

MYRNA BROWN, HOST: And I’m Myrna Brown.

Coming next on The World and Everything in It: Mysteries and miracles. World’s arts and culture editor Collin Garbarino has reviews of a show and a movie.

COLLIN GARBARINO: Last Friday, I reviewed Mission: Impossible 7. The movie opened Wednesday and it’s on track to blow up the box office this weekend.

Maybe you’re like me, and you binge watched all the previous installments getting ready for M:I 7. And now that you’ve seen Tom Cruise’s latest over-the-top adventure, you’re still craving more super-spy action. If that’s the case, you could check out the new espionage thriller on Disney+ in which things—and people—aren’t what they seem.

PRESCOD: Imagine a world where information can’t be trusted. Not very hard, is it?

The show is Marvel’s Secret Invasion. Samuel L. Jackson returns to the role of aging spymaster Nick Fury, and his enemy can assume any face he wants. Earth is threatened by shapeshifting aliens called Skrulls. The Skrull homeworld was destroyed in a galactic war, and the alien remnant became wandering refugees. Many found their way to Earth where they hide amongst us.

PRESCOD: Society starts to fray. All we can turn to are the people we care about.

After 30 years of waiting to find a new homeworld, some of the Skrulls decide they’d rather just conquer Earth and exterminate its human population.

Nick Fury uncovers an alien conspiracy that’s infiltrated the highest levels of world leadership. Following the time-honored spy-genre trope, Fury can’t trust his own government, so he’ll have to save the world himself.

NICK FURY: I’m Nick Fury. Even when I’m out. I’m in.

Fear not, you don’t need to catch up on Marvel lore to understand what’s going on. The series is fairly self-contained and doesn’t presume much background knowledge.

Secret Invasion succeeds as a sci-fi spy thriller. There’s a tension from suspecting every interaction could be a trap. It also helps that much of the series is set in Russia and London, two classic spy-movie locations. But despite having characters who can assume any form they want, the plot is pretty straightforward.

Jackson is in his mid-70s, and his Nick Fury has obviously seen better days. Instead of working out a plan and honing his spycraft, Fury spends much of his time processing his feelings and bickering with his friends.

We also get scenes in which Fury vents frustration over racial injustice. He recalls having lived through segregation, and talks about what it takes for a black man to get ahead.

NICK FURY: Men who look like us don’t get promoted because of who our daddies know. Every ounce of power we wrestle from the vice grip from the mediocre Alexander Pierces who run this world was earned in blood.

These ruminations on the black experience feel more natural than the forced commentary on race relations in Marvel’s The Falcon and the Winter Soldier.

It’s a little more personal this time and a little less preachy. It complements the show’s premise about alien outsiders arguing about the best way to become insiders. Do you keep your head down and blend in? Or do you assert your rights through violence?

Secret Invasion is one of Marvel’s better TV shows, but as with the Star Wars spy series Andor, the story would be better as a standalone series rather than being shoehorned into a pre-branded universe.

But maybe you’re not interested in spies at all. This week’s counterprogramming at the theater is The Miracle Club. With its mid-century Irish setting and Academy Award–winning ensemble cast, the movie should pique the interest of fans of period dramas.

MUSIC: [Trio singing “He’s So Fine”]

In a working-class community outside Dublin, three women hope to win a talent show to get an all-expense trip to Lourdes in France where they hope to receive miracles at its famous Catholic shrine.

The women all struggle with private pain, but they enjoy a close intergenerational friendship. Maggie Smith plays Lily, who grieves over a son she lost 40 years earlier. Kathy Bates plays Eileen, who fears she might have cancer. And Agnes O’Casey plays a young mother named Dolly, who worries about her school-age son who refuses to talk.

Before they leave for Lourdes, the prodigal Chrissie, played by Laura Linney, returns from a 40-year exile in America.

CHRISSIE: I wouldn’t have recognized you.

LILY: Forty years will do that to you.

The movie explores plenty of Christian themes. The characters carry brokenness and guilt, and there’s an acknowledgement that people lack the merit to receive divine reward. We see crises of faith and characters who don’t know whether to hope. And there’s some gentle mocking of the miracle-industrial-complex.

EILEEN: They’re not stepping in the same water as those, are they?

LILY: Oh, of course they are.

EILEEN: That’s a bit much. They’ll catch an infections.

LILY: Oh no, you won’t catch a thing. This is Lourdes. It’s another miracle.

Unless you’re a die-hard Maggie Smith fan, you might want to give The Miracle Club a pass. The plot gets a bit heavy-handed. Abortion comes up, but—so as not to offend either political side—it’s treated with an ambiguity that almost seems flippant. The three friends are sympathetic characters, but their husbands are bullies. The ultimate miracle, of course, is these men learn to appreciate their wives after having to cook and clean for themselves.

But on the plus side, the film suggests forgiveness is a greater miracle than any benefit experienced in the body. That’s not a bad reminder. Maybe I should forgive its faults.

I’m Collin Garbarino.

MARY REICHARD, HOST: Today is Friday, July 14th. Good morning! This is The World and Everything in It from listener-supported WORLD Radio. I’m Mary Reichard.

MYRNA BROWN, HOST: And I’m Myrna Brown. Coming next on The World And Everything in It: The Psalms Reimagined!

That’s how singer/songwriter Wendell Kimbrough describes his music: inspired by the Psalms. He started the project nearly ten years ago. Today he’s releasing his third installment. I’ve given all three of his albums a listen and here’s my review.

MUSIC: We were wandering in the desert with our souls so starved and weak. We were hungry for a homeland. We did not know how to seek.

Alabama-born and Mississippi-raised, Wendell Kimbrough is a gentle, but steady tenor with southern roots.

WENDELL KIMBROUGH: A lot of people tell me I sound like James Taylor or John Denver. When I’m singing I usually try to relax and I’m trying to sing in a way that feels like a hug or something.

In 2014 Kimbrough was artist-in-residence for an Anglican church in Fairhope, Alabama. Every week he chose a Psalm for the Sunday congregational reading. But his pastor wanted to do more than read the Psalms. He wanted to sing songs inspired by them.

KIMBROUGH: I knew that would be a big task for me. I was kind of a perfectionist and so, trying to write something every week and then to get up and play it you know, hot off the presses so to speak, that was very intimidating.

Nevertheless, Kimbrough accepted the challenge. Every week for three years he wrote a Psalm-inspired refrain. It’s worth noting, Kimbrough’s lyrics come almost directly from the Psalms, but they aren’t verbatim. Think the Message Bible set to music. You can hear that approach in one of his early efforts, “Oh Give Thanks” based on Psalm 107.

MUSIC: Oh Give thanks to the Lord for his love endures forever. We were wandering and lost and our father brought us home.

In 2016 Kimbrough released his first album, Psalms We Sing Together. I call it his genre-smashing project. He doesn’t stick with just one. The song “Oh Give Thanks” is early jazz inspired.

MUSIC: [trumpets and clarinets] Oh Give thanks to the Lord for his love endures forever. We were wandering and lost and our father brought us home.

He draws on another genre for his song based on Psalm 9, “Hope of the Poor.” This one sounds like an old-fashioned upright piano as he plays the gospel-infused melody.

MUSIC: Arise oh my Lord and answer my call my heart cries out to be heard.

Most of the songs on this first album are singable, piano and guitar-driven expressions of praise and thanksgiving. The type of songs many of us have become accustomed to singing on a Sunday morning.

KIMBROUGH: If you’re coming to church and you’re feeling good, there’s plenty of music and prayers and things to meet you in that space. But if you come to church and you’re struggling or you’re mad or you’re hurt. There’s not always language or prayers or songs to help you interact with God around what you’re feeling.

So Kimbrough produced a second album, Come to Me. He took Psalms of Lament and wrote modern-day songs designed to pull you out of your musical comfort zone.

MUSIC: Oh God do not be silent. O God Do Not be still. O God you can’t stand by and watch, while your children are killed.

In Psalm 83 the Psalmist does not hold back, but makes an earnest plea to God to not keep silent. Kimbrough’s music on this album mirrors that emotional content with songs like “O God, Do Not Be Silent.” A song he wrote after watching news reports of a mass shooting in 2017.

KIMBROUGH: And I was weeping and sitting in my office and I knew at that moment I needed to talk to God about what I was feeling. And I just grabbed my Bible. And honestly I don’t know if I’d ever paid attention to Psalm 83 before that. I think it’s one I just kind of skipped over. And that song just kind of felt out of my heart. It probably took me ten minutes to write it.

Kimbrough worked for five years to create his latest album, You Belong. During that period, Kimbrough, his wife and two daughters relocated and began serving at a church in Dallas, Texas. You Belong releases today, and it’s both a head turner and a head scratcher, especially when you consider Kimbrough grew up in a high church setting.

MUSIC: I will lift up the cup of salvation. I will call on the name of the Lord. He has heard my cry. He has saved my life. I will enter His courts with praise.

KIMBROUGH: Growing up in MIssissippi, we were Presbyterian, but like we would go to like a 5th Sunday night potluck at the Baptist church in town. You know the local vocal quartet would be there singing, “have a little talk with Jesus." Just this Southern Gospel thing.

You Belong is hands down Kimbrough’s most joyful project in the collection. It’s toe-tapping, head-bopping…fun. To my ears, it also sounds like it may be his most produced body of work. While I enjoy the energy and the musical showmanship of songs like “I Will Lift Up The Cup of Salvation”, at times I find myself yearning for the simplicity of his earlier projects.

MUSIC: I will not hold back. I will sing His song. I was sinking down till my Savior saw that I needed help and He came to save. I will not hold back from my Savior’s praise.

Church worship leaders will appreciate the free digital, downloadable chords and lead sheets Kimbrough offers on his website. Parents will cherish this novel way to introduce their children to the themes of the Psalms. And if you’re looking for a way to revive your personal devotions, the 32 songs in this collection are beautifully crafted to help you set your mind on things above. How? By singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs!

MUSIC: I will not hold back from my Savior’s praise.
