In this episode, Joseph Clair talks with Dr. Nancy Pearcey about worldview, sexuality, and the human body. How has the “truth split” affected the way we think about the value of our bodies? Is the body or the mind a better indicator of personal teleology? What is it that Christians offer to the conversation about sex, gender, and embodiment that allows people to hold onto the high dignity of their personhood?

Dr. Nancy Pearcey is a professor of apologetics and scholar in residence at Houston Baptist University, a fellow at the Discovery Institute’s Center for Science and Culture, and editor at large of The Pearcey Report. She has published 100+ articles in outlets such as the Washington Post, the Washington Times, First Things, and many more. Nancy has also served as an editorial board member of Salem Communications and a commentator on Public Square Radio, and she has appeared on radio and television, including Fox & Friends, NPR, and C-SPAN.
