If you’re struggling with sexual sin and looking to join a local church, what should you look for? Today’s episode from Mark Sanders offers five points to consider as you evaluate churches for their approach to caring for, discipling, and helping people struggling with sexual sin. No church is perfect, and any helpful discipleship in these areas will require initiative on our part, but churches that are faithfully displaying the qualities shared in today's episode can be great options to join as you pursue sexual integrity.

The Transgender Trend: Is It Over? by Mark Sanders

On October 14, 2025, Matt Walsh posted on X, “Transgenderism is effectively over. We destroyed it. Clearest and most decisive cultural win that conservatives have ever achieved.” But does the data really show that young people are rapidly abandoning these labels and identities? On today’s episode Harvest USA President Mark Sanders takes a closer look at the cultural moment. He challenges us to look past cultural narratives to remember the suffering our brothers and sisters with loved ones embracing transgender identities are facing. Finally, he calls the church to stand fearlessly for God’s truth without losing our zeal to reach the lost, knowing that whatever opposition we face, we’ve been given a kingdom that cannot be shaken (Hebrews 12:28).
