In honor of MaxFunDrive 2023, Ross and Carrie introduce you to TwinRay, the Ashland, Oregon couple who claim to offer healing and usher you into permanent spiritual bliss. He says he’s an enlightened being; she says she’s a walk-in from another plane. But Ross and Carrie say he’s an Australian dude with a knack for pseudo-profundity, and she’s a B-movie actress from Miami who probably got rich suing an airline. Say hello to TwinRay!

In the final lark of the Ark arc, Ross tells Carrie about the wild, final hours of the homeschooling conference. Time to pull out the American flags and light the fires! 80s heartthrob Kirk Cameron arrives to tell us all about puritan statuary and kick off a movement that will spread the gospel, but also teach Constitutional literacy and firearm handling. Plus, a fiery speech from John (Amanchukwu) on the evils of Planned Parenthood and the wicked left, and Carrie and Ross review Lifemark, an anti-abortion film that premiered at the Ark Encounter.

Ross tells Carrie about the homeschool-teaching instruction he received at the Building Strong Foundations Conference, including important pedagogical questions like: What is science? How does a dictionary work? What questions can science not answer? Did you know your hair holds the key to your divinity? Turns out, the more your hair is like a primate’s… the more evolution is disproven? Time to pull out some microscopes and confirm Genesis 1. Also, Ken Ham is back, and he’s still pissy.
Carrie shares a talk she gave focusing on the trauma-informed community and its various expressions in therapy and on the internet. Learn how tricky it can be to define trauma, who the major contributors in this space are, and how to navigate the perilous predominance of pseudoscience and avoid the trauma trap. Ready to talk cult studies, retrospective bias, gaslighting, and DARVO? All that sexy stuff is here, and more.

Ross rounds out his final analysis of the Ark itself, including educational displays about the Tower of Babel, ancient man, and the real reason we all are here: the Gospel of Jesus Christ (whose Dad is God). Plus, flood myths from other cultures, a possibly disingenuous, bean-based argument, and a very telling analogy involving Plato. The arc of our Ark story is slowly nearing its end. (OR IS IT?)
