Does God care if you’re happy at all? Is His goal to make you holy or happy? Does He care about your desires? Even the ones that won’t necessarily “sanctify” you? Am I an accidental Buddhist!? SO. MANY. QUESTIONS. Kristina Garza & Mackenzie Ryder interviewed me about asceticism, which I lived in for a very long time. I essentially believed that the more I suffered, the holier I became.

Are there any gender stereotypes you genuinely believe? Do you ever wrestle with the thought, "Am I woman enough?" Bonnie Pue & I had an amazing conversation about what God defines as feminine and masculine (and it doesn’t have anything to do with axe-throwing or shopping or cooking).

Jesus longed to gather Jerus...

Laurie Kreig has been equipping the church with a Gospel-centered approach to gender and sexuality for nearly a decade. She joined me for the 2nd time on the show to discuss how to handle the pronoun conversation. Many Christians are simply afraid. Afraid to get it wrong. Afraid to offend someone. Afraid to dishonor Jesus. Afraid to accidentally encourage sin. Afraid to come off as a jerk. - Is calling someone by their preferred pronouns the same thing as affirming sin? - What is 'pronoun hospit...
