Is St. Patrick's Day all about drinking green beer in a pub? And why are people on the political left typically more anxious and depressed than people on the political right? What do the studies say? Today, Frank dives into the not-so-famous history of St. Patrick's Day and unpacks a WORLD article written by Thaddeus Williams, 'Why Leftism is Bad for Mental Health: An Ideology That Politicizes Real Trauma Leads to Minds Immersed in Fear'. Tune in as he answers questions like: -- Why do studies reveal that the political left are not doing well in terms of mental health? -- What is the "Uh-Oh Center" in our brains? -- Why is it dangerous and illogical to overgeneralize our life experiences? -- How do good psychologists help people who are crippled with fear and anxiety? -- Why do we celebrate St. Patrick's Day on March 17th? -- How did God use St. Patrick to share the Gospel in Ireland against all odds and amidst great opposition? -- How did St. Patrick influence laws in the United States? -- Why is St. Patrick considered one of the world's first abolitionists? Later in the episode, Frank addresses listener questions related to: -- Can we trust the reliability of the New Testament documents? -- Are differences in details always a contradiction? -- What is spotlighting? -- Should Christians support an apostate Israel? -- What does it mean to bless Israel? -- Why is it important to read the Hamas Charter?
