TruthXchange Podcast

Guest: Dr. Christopher Yuan, author of Holy Sexuality and the Gospel, Out of a Far Country, and The Holy Sexuality Project

Drawing from his own remarkable testimony, Dr. Yuan shares how God transformed him from a life marked by agnosticism, same-sex attraction, drug addiction, and promiscuity into a redeemed follower of Christ. 
Dr. Yuan explains that the opposite of homosexuality is not heterosexuality, but holiness. God does not call us to redefine our identity around our desires; He calls us to find our true identity in Christ.

Sacrificing Our Children: Transgender Ideology and the Call to Faithfulness

Mary Weller exposes the devastating human cost of radical gender ideology. Drawing from real-life stories, medical research, and her own frontline experience, she reveals how the “gender affirming” model — puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgeries — is inflicting irreversible physical and psychological harm on children, often leading to worse mental health outcomes and higher suicide risk, and not healing.

Mary traces the spiritual roots of transgenderism to ancient pagan androgyny and modern Oneism — the worldview that erases God-given distinctions between male and female. She warns the church against silence or compromise, powerfully comparing our cultural accommodation to Lot’s willingness to sacrifice his daughters to appease the mob outside his door.

This lecture was given at the inaugural “Peter Jones Lectures”– The God of Sex: Male and Female He Created Them.

Biblical Masculinity in a Confused Age

Pastor Josh Smith addresses the growing hunger among young men to recover a true sense of masculinity. He contrasts the shallow cultural answers — money, muscles, and moxie — with the rich biblical vision of what it means to be a man.

Pastor Smith shows how feminism has distorted both sexes: women are told to become like deficient men, while men are told to become more feminine. He exposes the toxic lies being sold to young men today and presents the biblical solution: manners (godly character and self-control), a mandate (the creation calling to work, lead, provide, and love a wife and children), and mentors (older men who intentionally disciple the next generation).

This lecture was given at the inaugural "Peter Jones Lectures"-- The God of Sex: Male and Female He Created Them.

In this bold and convicting lecture, Rosaria Butterfield addresses three of the most powerful reigning idols of our day — abortion, feminism, and homosexuality. Drawing from her own testimony of leaving a lesbian lifestyle through the power of the gospel, Rosaria shares sobering frontline experiences at Planned Parenthood and exposes how these ideologies are not isolated social issues but interconnected expressions of Oneism — the pagan worldview that rejects God as Creator and blurs all biblical and creational distinctions.

This lecture was given at the inaugural "Peter Jones Lectures"-- The God of Sex: Male and Female He Created Them.

In this powerful lecture, Dr. Peter Jones explores the deep connection between sexuality and theology. Far from being a peripheral issue, our understanding of sexuality reveals our most fundamental worldview — whether we live in light of the Creator/creature distinction (Twoism) or in the pagan denial of that distinction (Oneism).

Theology & Sexuality: Why They Belong Together

Dr. Peter Jones joins Joshua Gielow and Mary Weller on the TruthXchange Podcast to preview his upcoming talk at the inaugural Peter Jones Lectures.

At first glance, God and sex seem worlds apart — but Dr. Jones shows they are profoundly connected. Through the lens of Oneism vs. Twoism, he explains how our sexuality is never morally neutral. How sexuality either glorifies the Creator or worships creation. Male and female are not interchangeable — they reflect the Image of God and bear witness to the fundamental distinction between Creator and creature.

Homosexuality and transgenderism, he argues, are modern expressions of ancient pagan Oneism that erase God-given distinctions.

Biblical Manhood in a Confused Age

Joshua Gielow and Mary Weller are joined by Pastor Josh Smith of King’s Church in Columbia, SC. Pastor Smith, who will be speaking at the upcoming Peter Jones Lectures, unpacks a biblical vision of manhood rooted in Genesis 1 and 2 — where men are called to image God distinctly as male through strength, leadership, responsibility, and sacrificial love.

Contrasting true biblical masculinity with “toxic masculinity,” exposing how the culture distorts good masculine traits (strength, courage, authority) when they are separated from God’s design. Pastor Smith addresses the influence of figures like Andrew Tate, the crisis of fatherlessness, and the hunger among young men for a clear roadmap to manhood. He emphasizes that masculinity is more moral than muscular — it is about self-governance, responsibility, and building civilization, beginning in the home.

The discussion highlights practical discipleship through family worship, catechesis, intentional fatherhood, and rites of passage that help turn boys into godly men.

The Lie of Feminism: Rejecting God’s Design for Womanhood

Rosaria Butterfield joins Joshua Gielow and Mary Weller to discuss her upcoming lecture at the Peter Jones Lectures. Speaking as a former casualty of feminist ideology, Rosaria traces the roots of modern feminism from Mary Wollstonecraft through American feminism’s embrace of career over motherhood, Planned Parenthood, and the rejection of the female body.

Rosaria contrasts feminist autonomy with the beauty and authority of God’s creation ordinance in Genesis — male and female He created them — and shows how feminism serves as the gateway to the broader LGBTQ+ spectrum.  This episode is a  call for the church back to biblical womanhood, godly patriarchy, and the safety found under Christ and His church.

This is essential listening for parents, young women, pastors, and anyone seeking clarity on one of the most pervasive lies of our anti-Christian age.

Sacrificing Lot’s Daughters: Transgenderism the Pagan Ideal of Androgyny
Mary Weller joins Joshua Gielow to preview her upcoming lecture at the inaugural Peter Jones Lectures.

Hosts Joshua Gielow and Mary Weller make a major announcement: the return of the TruthXchange Think Tanks with the launch of The Peter Jones Lectures — an annual series beginning with "The God of Sex: Male and Female, He Created Them."

Joining Joshua and Mary are Dr. Peter Jones and Dr. Rosaria Butterfield for a special two-day event on June 5–6, 2026, in Columbia, South Carolina (hosted by King’s Church ARP). The TruthXchange Think Tanks are an intimate, interactive “think tank” model that has defined TruthXchange for years: deep teaching combined with generous time for conversation, meals, Q&A, and relationship-building.

Through the clarifying biblical lens of Twoism (Creator/creation distinction from Romans 1:25), the speakers will address some of the most pressing and controversial issues of our day: the meaning of male and female, the dignity of the body, feminism, abortion, transgender ideology, homosexuality, toxic masculinity, and the beauty of the gospel in a confused culture. Expect on-the-ground reports from the front lines of school boards and state legislatures, powerful personal testimonies, and practical tools to dismantle Oneist lies while offering hope and truth.

If you’re tired of vague cultural Christianity and want to be equipped with clear, compassionate, Scripture-saturated thinking on sexuality and identity, this event (and this episode) is for you. Hear why this gathering feels like a “family reunion” for longtime supporters and why the church desperately needs this message now more than ever.
