The hosts walk through a LifeWay Research study of Americans' theological views: Bible authority (50%), God as author of Scripture (58%), bodily resurrection (64%), God's perfection (65%), answered prayer (66%), God accepting all religions' worship (64%), universal reunion with loved ones (60%) vs Christ-alone salvation (54%), works contributing to heaven (52%). They note contradictions, plus a side bit where Boova (speaker-0, addressed by name on-air) admits believing in UFOs.
