Trans Identities and the Givenness of the World
We live in an age where we are told to define and live our own truth, including the most fundamental truths about our human identity. Over against such self-determination, Scripture gives us a vision for life based on the identity of God as the transcendent Creator, of human beings as image-bearing creatures, and the fundamental givenness of the world.
Lead us Not into the Tempest of Temptation
To calm the perfect storm of pornography addiction, radical changes are necessary, mandating commitment, discipline, and discipleship. The impetus for the believer to adopt these changes is the plain acknowledgment that pornography is sinful.
Responding with Grace and Truth to the LGBT Worldview
As a student intern, I directly followed 8 to 10 patients at a time, the majority of whom were gay men about my age, dying of AIDS. It was heart-wrenching watching their opportunistic infections and cancers progress and, despite our best efforts, consume them.

The 7th Commandment: You Shall Not Commit Adultery
In this episode Joe Boot discusses the narrow and broad definitions of adultery in light of both Moses and Christ, explaining how sexuality is much more than the modern notion of consent. Contrary to contemporary thinking, sexual activity outside of the blessed structure of covenant marriage has drastic personal and social consequences.
Canada’s Gay Federal Action Plan, w/ Andre Schutten
Ezra Institute Fellow Andre Schutten talks about Canada’s newest Federal Action Plan to spend $100 million to advance a postmodern, secular worldview in the area of sexuality.

Gun Control Laws, Fatherlessness, and the Failure of Feminism
In this week’s episode, we dive into a few recent news stories as we work to discover meaning in a world that has increasingly abandoned truth and reason.
