We are BACK! Lets unpack the identity struggle and hit on relevant news and the church's reponse to LGBTQ.

In this episode, we’re not holding back our thoughts about a bunch of big, buzzy developments in the news. There’s a fresh settlement for a detransitioner that could shake things up as a precedent for those injured by trans surgeries. We dive into the real questions about identifying as something different from who God made you, and yes—we even splash into the still-emerging digisexual phenomenon. This is a good one—totally worth the listen!

Reflecting on Charlie Kirk’s death, the present revival, and our responsibility as the Church

In this episode we talk through some of the key responses of the church to the impact of the Carlie Kirk assassination. This includes a conversation on "sound bite" culture, the revival of the church, and what the responsibility of the church is in the midst of it all. We hit briefly on Trans ideology, but largely point people to a fantastic resource from a journalist who has spent a lot of time pointing people to the truth.

Gender Identity Part 1.

We spend this entire episode diving into some of the complicated issues that surround the gender conversation in our culture. Drew outlines a biblical worldview of gender from Genesis and we discuss the biblical, scientific, and practical reasons why there are only 2 genders. We also spend time digging into what motivates people to embrace the worlds ideology of gender, how the church can respond, and what true equality of gender looks like in the church and in church leadership. This is part 1 of a 4 part mini-series on Gender Identity. We will be discussing topics like masculinely, femininity, and Trans with a heart to reveal how the church can respond to a increasingly confusing and disturbing gender conversation.
