In our experience, when confronted about WC, most church leaders double down and refuse to acknowledge the problems.
A few listeners mentioned politics and the fiasco the Senate hearings have become regarding Supreme Court nominee, Bret Kavanaugh. Someone also brought up the difference between being a Christian and a conservative which are often used interchangeably.
