Cult identified: the complaint line, Gideons, and a deepening world

A host reads the Bob Eisenlauer complaint line number and half-jokes about listeners from rough religious backgrounds calling in, then thanks the Holy Spirit, John Wycliffe, and the Gideons for the English Bible in hotel rooms. That launches a long reflection: when kids raised in sheltered faith meet a wider world, their world should deepen, not flip — meeting unfamiliar people isn't proof the foundation was a lie. The danger is treating strangers as cartoons; get close enough and you find their beliefs usually grew out of mess and pain, which is exactly the depth Jesus modeled with Nicodemus, the woman at the well, and the woman caught in adultery.
