In this final episode in our series on sex and gender, Dru and Lisl have a (mostly) unscripted conversation about God's good design for sex. Learn about the sex lives of camel drivers and whether sex is more like glue or a crescent wrench. 

Our latest episode tackles an extremely sensitive topic: transgender. We were thrilled to be joined by Dr. Preston Sprinkle to discuss some of the ideas in his latest book on the topic. Rebekah Mui also shared a bit at the end about how her story intersects with this conversation. It's a loaded episode, and you won't want to miss it!

We decided to take a break from our series on sexuality and gender to hear from Brother E about the current COVID-19 crisis in Asia. 

There are few things more antithetical to Christ-following than the abuse of another for one's own pleasure. Yet sexual abuse is common across all religious groups, including Anabaptists. On today's episode, Hope Ann Dueck of A Better Way shares practical, pointed counsel for fighting this scourge.

We live in a world that is saturated with pornography. Studies show that in our churches men especially are addicted to porn at alarming rates. Asher Witmer and Tim Kuepfer join us to share about their experiences and offer wisdom on how to overcome this vice and live with sexual integrity.

Today we are starting our series on sex and gender! Our first guest is someone we have both followed for a while--Dr. Preston Sprinkle. Preston lays out some of the problems with what Dru calls the purity industrial complex and helps us frame the conversation in a more healthy way.

Dru has a bit of nuance to add to the vaccine discussion and Titus is becoming a monk (sort of). 

Conservative Christians are the least likely faith demographic to get the COVID vaccination. Is this damaging our witness and contributing to the persistence of the pandemic? Dr. Finny Kuruvilla joins us to share the science behind the vaccines and debunk some common misconceptions.
