Historically, the church has been the centerpiece of communities.  It has been the place where individual souls have gone for restoration, as well as the focus point for social movements. However, in recent times, it appears that the church's role in the community has become less defined than ever before. So in this episode, the FreeLunch guys offer their opinions on whether today's church is building the people up or letting them down.

It's safe to say, that for the most part, men are drawn to women leading purpose-filled lives, as seen in their dreams, aspirations, and goals. It can also be said that a large majority of men want to be with a woman who is holding her own professionally and economically. BUT, many men are finding out that dating a career-driven woman can have its share of challenges, as observed in common complaints like, "she never has time to do anything", "she brings all of her work issues home", and "she bosses me around like I'm an employee". What is a man to do? Was Women's Liberation man's worst enemy? Or should professional women do a better job separating career from home? In this episode the FreeLunch Guys, along with a Special Guest, discuss this dilemma that men are facing in 2014.

During the late 1960s into the 70s, the Weather Underground organization was labeled by many as a Domestic terrorist group in the U.S., largely in part to its role in numerous bombings, riots, and jailbreaks. Founded by long time social activist/revolutionary, Bill Ayers, the organization was in strong opposition to the Vietnam war, but was in heavy support of the Black Freedom Movement. However it was the tactics used to get the attention of the U.S. power structure that ultimately led to Bill and other members becoming targets for the FBI. But, today he comes to set the record straight.
