This week on the Conversations That Matter podcast, Jon Harris covers a wide-ranging news roundup touching on the Southern Baptist Convention, Christian persecution, the Catholic Church, the Christian Nationalism debate, Steve Lawson, and what Jon calls the “true culture of death.”Jon begins with a personal update following a house fire in his wife's family, along with reflections on the recent Restoring Virtue Conference and upcoming speaking engagements.From there, he discusses Eric Erickson's criticism of figures on the Right and the importance of clearly defining neo-Nazi ideology rather than making broad accusations. He also examines recent controversy surrounding Candace Owens, a new Vatican document on interreligious dialogue, and claims surrounding the discovery of Noah's Ark in Turkey.The episode then turns to the Christian Nationalism debate, including J.D. Greer's arguments concerning church and state, religious liberty, and the role of Christianity in public life. Jon also discusses Southern Baptist figures Jason Little and Walter Strickland, including Strickland's comments concerning Nat Turner and liberation theology.Jon then addresses the changing Christian legal movement, Steve Lawson's recent book concerning his adultery and disqualification from ministry, and questions from listeners.The final portion of the podcast examines assisted suicide, declining marriage and family formation, adult toy consumption, gender distrust, juvenileization, higher education, student loans, Title IX, and policies under the Trump administration. Jon concludes by discussing comments from Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu concerning persecuted Christians in the Middle East and the broader decline of Christianity in the region.Listen through to the end for Jon's thoughts on why Christians should focus less on theoretical political battles and more on the practical challenges directly in front of them.00:00 Personal Update: House Fire and Restoring Virtue10:40 The News Roundup Begins11:45 Eric Erickson and the Debate Over Neo-Nazism22:40 Candace Owens and Online Political Commentary29:00 The Vatican, Vatican II, and Interreligious Dialogue38:05 The Search for Noah's Ark42:45 J.D.

This episode dives into the CNN/MSNBC press ban, Trump launching a nonstop YouTube channel, GLP-1 drug lawsuits and luxury weight-loss retreats, the AI panic sweeping the country, and the shocking news that the U.S. has space-based defensive weapons.

And a new Congressional Budget Office report out this week says the main reason for relentless inflation is the Iran war.And President Donald Trump has made mail-in-voting a major part of his campaign to sow doubt in the voting process.

A rundown of the week's headlines with our region's leading journalists.
In this week's news roundup, regulators and courts take centre stage: REA Group settles with the ACCC, a Chicago judge hands MRED and Compass a win over Zillow, Hemnet's activist investors reshape the board and pause the buyback, and Schibsted appears to be lining up to take on its own former marketplaces business in Norway.Chapters:00:00 Intro01:34 REA Group Signs ACCC Undertaking Over Listing Clauses13:38 Are Regulators Cracking Down On Portal Pricing?17:39 Zillow Loses Injunction Bid Against MRED & Compass23:35 Who Portals Really Serve: Buyers & Sellers29:54 Hemnet Pauses Buyback After Board Shake-up33:20 Why Hemnet's New Board Went Local38:03 Can Hemnet's Share Price Recover?40:20 Schibsted Media, Polaris & Amedia Team Up To Take On Finn48:00 Vend At PPW Madrid & WrapREA Group Vs ACCCOn 14 September Australia's competition regulator accepted a court enforceable undertaking from REA Group over contract terms that, between 2013 and 2025, required or rewarded agencies for listing all or most of their properties on realestate.com.au. From 1 January 2027 agencies can move at least 25% of eligible listings to cheaper tiers, and the undertaking runs for three years. REA stressed there was no finding of wrongdoing. Simon explains why agents such as BresicWhitney want to hold listings back for their own sites, why this is marketing fuel for CoStar-owned Domain, and why rising portal costs against falling sales volumes mean regulators from Switzerland to Sweden and Spain are taking a closer look.Zillow Vs MREDA US judge has refused Zillow a preliminary injunction in its Sherman Act case against Chicago MLS MRED and Compass, and ended the temporary order that restored Zillow's listings feed. In the court's words, transparency is not, standing alone, a goal of the antitrust laws, and opacity is not an anticompetitive effect. Harvey read all 54 pages so you don't have to (selected quotes are on onlinemarketplaces.com), and Simon takes it back to basics: the buyer and the seller are the only essential parties, and a portal that loses listings loses relevance.Hemnet Vs BuybackAn extraordinary general meeting called by Vor Capital and Sprints Capital replaced most of Hemnet's board, with former REA and Rightmove executives making way for directors with deep Swedish market experience. The share buyback has been paused, with around SEK 189m already spent, as Hemnet enters what it calls a transformative phase. Simon, who has sat on boards on both sides of that debate, explains why local knowledge wins, why an 80% share price fall will take many quarters to recover from, and why "transformative" probably means an acquisition.Schibsted Vs Schibsted?!Schibsted Media, Polaris and Amedia have formed an equal three-way joint venture that looks set to take on Vend's Finn in Norwegian classifieds. Simon on why starting from zero against a dominant number one is so hard, the three-headed dog problem of media joint ventures, and why Vend should keep an eye on it without letting it become an anchor.The PPW Conference is in Madrid from 28 to 30 October.

In this news roundup, I look at the controversy surrounding H-1B visas, the viral University of Texas football footage, and the argument over immigration, assimilation, race, culture, and the future of American identity. I also revisit the Lindsay Clancy jury and what the case reveals about the way people increasingly interpret moral questions through racial categories.Then we get to Tucker Carlson and Abdul El-Sayed. What does it mean when prominent figures on the Right begin backing or defending political positions that would seem completely at odds with the Republican coalition? Is the Right actually beginning to converge with the Left on some of the most important questions facing the country?I also discuss Christian persecution in China, the question of Islam and Western civilization, surrogacy and the changing meaning of family, and some genuinely encouraging stories about American courage and education.The goal is not simply to react to the news. It is to step back, understand what is happening, and ask what these stories mean for Christians, conservatives, and the future of America.00:00 Intro: The Hammer of Reality03:41 The H-1B Debate Explodes21:03 The Lindsay Clancy Jury27:22 Race, Morality, and Civilizational Identity48:13 Tucker Carlson and Abdul El-Sayed58:33 El-Sayed, 9/11, and the Michigan Senate Race1:02:33 A Test for Right-Wing Media1:06:11 Christian Persecution in China1:08:04 Islam and the West1:11:05 Surrogacy, Family, and the Future1:14:10 American Courage and the Good NewsJon's Music: jonharristunes.comTo Support the Podcast: https://www.jonharrismedia.com/support/Become a Patronhttps://www.patreon.com/jonharrispodcastSubstack: https://substack.com/@jonharris Follow Jon on Twitter: https://twitter.com/jonharris1989Follow Jon on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jonharris1989/Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/conversations-that-matter8971/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

In this week's news roundup, Zoopla breaks cover with a full set of FY2025 numbers, and that sets up a longer argument about the cheapest growth lever in the portal business: the story you tell about yourself. Chapters:00:00 Intro00:48 Zoopla Publishes Its FY2025 Financials11:56 Will Silver Lake Sell Zoopla, And To Whom?14:32 The Perception & Narrative Lever18:26 When Number Two Actually Overtakes Number One23:24 Inside The Claims Ledger: 19,300 Portal Claims32:11 Simon On Making Claims As A Portal CEO39:25 PPW Madrid Preview Zoopla Opens The BooksZoopla is no longer a public company and does not have to tell anyone anything, but it sent the market a press release anyway. Revenue of £83.2m for FY2025, down 1% year on year. Profit of £20.7m at a 16% margin. Homeowners tracking a property on the site up 39% to more than six million, and Prospect Plus seller leads converting to listings at 43%. What it did not disclose was agent or customer numbers, which is what the UK trade press led on. Simon reads a decade of roughly flat revenue as the honest picture of life as number two to Rightmove, and reckons the release is Silver Lake, eight years and around £2bn in, telling the market it is profitable and open to offers. His guess on the buyer: another PE firm rather than CoStar, Idealista or REA Group. The Narrative Growth LeverPaul Whitehead's comments to Harvey about customer perception set up the bigger question. Of the levers a portal CEO can actually pull, listings are hardest to move, traffic and product cost real money, and product has never once decided market leadership. Simon half agrees, and offers the two cases where number one genuinely fell: Casa losing Italy to Immobiliare, and Realtor.com losing the US to Zillow's Zestimate. Both needed the leader to slip at the same moment the challenger did something unusual. Claims Nobody Is CheckingWith 19,300 portal claims now in the OMP claims ledger, the question becomes who makes claims and why. Simon splits it four ways, leaders against attackers and listed against unlisted, and explains why he refused to make forward financial claims as a CEO, how survey-backed marketing claims really get made, and what to make of REA Group's disputed nine out of ten line. PPW Madrid PreviewThe conference runs 28 to 30 October. Around 300 of 500 places are already gone, Malcolm Myers and Mike DelPrete are on the strategic track, and more headline portal speakers are still to be announced. Tickets at ppweurope.com.

In this episode of Conversations That Matter, Jon Harris tackles a wide-ranging news roundup touching on Christian persecution, the future of the American right, immigration, Islam, JD Vance, and the growing tensions within conservative politics.Jon begins with the 2026 Open Doors World Watch List and the persecution of Christians around the world, with particular attention to Nigeria and the question of how Christians in America should think about helping persecuted believers while also maintaining responsible immigration and government policy.He then turns to the American right and the growing divide between competing factions, including the tensions surrounding JD Vance, Tucker Carlson, Israel, nationalism, and the future direction of the Republican Party.Jon also examines criticism of JD Vance's proposal to expand federal childcare assistance to married families with a stay-at-home parent. Is the proposal socialism? Jon argues that the more fundamental question is what conservatives should do when government programs already exist.The episode also explores the online right, evangelical institutions, woke ideology, social justice, American identity, and the importance of recovering a more grounded understanding of virtue, family, and national responsibility.Topics include:• Christian persecution and the 2026 World Watch List• Nigeria and persecuted Christians• Immigration and refugee policy• Islam and Western civilization• JD Vance and the future of the Republican Party• Tucker Carlson and the online right• Israel, nationalism, and competing factions on the right• JD Vance's stay-at-home parent childcare proposal• Socialism and the role of government• Woke ideology and evangelical institutions• American identity and recovering virtuevirtueconference.comJon's Music: jonharristunes.comTo Support the Podcast: https://www.jonharrismedia.com/support/Become a Patronhttps://www.patreon.com/jonharrispodcastSubstack: https://substack.com/@jonharris Follow Jon on Twitter: https://twitter.com/jonharris1989Follow Jon on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jonharris1989/00:00 — News Roundup: What We Are Talking About Today02:46 — Restoring Virtue: Why Some Conferences Should Stay Offline06:22 — Christian Persecution Around the World09:18 — Nigeria and the Reality of Christian Persecution12:02 — Should America Help Persecuted Christians?16:01 — ETP Coffee and Supporting Persecuted Christians17:10 — Islam, Immigration, and Western Civilization23:46 — 25 Years After 9/11: How America Thinks About Islam24:00 — Woke Virginia and the Fight Over American Monuments28:40 — The Online Right and the Loss of American Identity01:16:32 — Is JD Vance a Socialist?01:17:05 — Stay-at-Home Moms and the $12 Billion Childcare Fund01:21:49 — The Political Future of the RightSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/conversations-that-matter8971/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
