On this episode, reality TV star Jinger Duggar discusses "harmful" false teachings, a nationwide police shortage — and more:

NEWS STORIES:

• Recruiting and retention are two issues haunting police departments nationwide. Since 2020, a mass exodus of officers combined with record lows in new applicants has resulted in critical staffing shortages. As departments seek to win back the public and retain veteran officers, they're also getting creative to woo new recruits. From catchy videos, to signing bonuses in the tens of thousands, departments are desperate to fill vacancies. Others are turning to more transparency to build public trust.

• Both sides of the abortion issue are waiting for a federal judge in Texas to rule on a lawsuit that could force the FDA to withdraw chemical abortion pills from the market. This case follows the FDA's decision to expand access to the two-part drug regimen, allowing doctors to prescribe it via telehealth appointments for women to receive the abortion-inducing pills through the mail. The Texas lawsuit claims one of the drugs taken to induce abortion is not as safe as advertised and should not have received FDA approval back in 2000. 

• And finally, three sex businesses have closed in north central Ohio over the last two years, according to Frontlines Ohio. Donna Holbrook who owned two of those strip clubs told the outlet after she and her husband gave their lives to the Lord, "their hearts changed." Now working in real estate, Holbrook also volunteers with a local ministry to help victims of sex trafficking in the Mansfield area.
