In this month’s What’s Trending episode, we trace why fewer girls expect to marry while boys’ expectations hold steady, then turn to 2026 state abortion ballots, AI “grandma” simulations that risk warping grief, and new research on how physics shapes embryonic life. The throughline is formation: how tech, culture, and faith guide our choices and our care for neighbors.
