Shows Main Idea – Transgenderism is part of a cultural and political avalanche in our country—this contagion coincides with social justice, identity politics, woke-ness, intersectionality, racism, and more. In this talk, I will break down the salient elements of the trans issue while offering practical help to engage our culture from a biblical worldview and hope-filled solutions.

Ep. 343 Transgenderism Wordlview: I Think Therefore I Am

Shows Main Idea – I often get asked about our next speaking engagement—as if speaking from a stage is central to our ministry. It’s not. In this episode, I want to walk you through our philosophy of public speaking and why we don’t model our approach after the typical speaker circuit. For me, speaking is not a performance or platform-building opportunity—it’s about long-term discipleship and real relationships. I don’t have a few canned messages that I drop into a new location every weekend. Instead, we serve churches through a slow, intentional process that begins months before the conference and often continues for years afterward. We don’t stay in hotels. We live with the people. We eat with them, learn from them, adapt our content to their lives, and build connections that last. This episode unpacks our convictions around sanctification, discipleship, and the church—and why relational ministry, not performance ministry, is our model.
