On Tuesday’s show: The Southern Baptist Convention is wrestling this week with the implications of a report released Sunday finding cover-ups of allegations and incidents of sexual abuse by leaders and volunteers.

Also this hour: City Council Member Edward Pollard answers your questions.

Then, a newly created housing affordability report found that fewer households in Greater Houston could afford to purchase a median-priced home in the first quarter of 2022, as home prices and mortgage interest rates climbed.
