God does not call us to redefine our identity around our desires; He calls us to find our true identity in Christ. https://holysexuality.com/For more resources visit www.truthxchange.com

    Sacrificing Our Children: Transgender Ideology and the Call to Faithfulness

    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.

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.

    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. Event Highlight: This conversation is a preview of Pastor Josh Smith's lecture on Biblical Masculinity at the inaugural Peter Jones Lectures: “The God of Sex – Male and Female He Created Them.” Date: June 5–6, 2026 Venue: King's Church, Columbia (Irmo), South Carolina Featuring Dr. Peter Jones, Rosaria Butterfield, Mary Weller, David Alexander, and Pastor Josh Smith. This is a must-attend event for anyone longing to see the church recover a robust, biblical understanding of sexuality and gender. Register today at truthxchange.com ($50 includes meals).

    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.

Dean Broyles (National Center for Law & Policy) returns to the show to pull back the curtain on the rapid rise of yoga and mindfulness meditation in public schools. While these practices are often sold as "simple stress relief," the legal and spiritual implications run much deeper. We dive into the intersection of the First Amendment and Eastern spirituality, asking the tough questions: The Neutrality Myth: Is it possible to strip the religious "DNA" out of yoga and mindfulness? Legal Frontiers: How religious freedom is being redefined—and challenged—in the modern education system.

    Holy Bodies and Transformed Minds

    The lecture “Holy Bodies, Transformed Minds” — based on Romans 12 — explores what it means for Christians to live wholly for God, both in body and in thought. It draws especially from Romans 12:2, where Paul urges believers not to conform to the patterns of this world but to be transformed by the renewal of their minds, so they may discern and live out God's perfect will. This teaching recognizes that the command sounds simple but can feel overwhelming in practice. Many Christians, upon reading Paul's words, instinctively turn it into a self-improvement checklist: “Stop conforming. Renew my mind. Learn discernment.” The lecture, however, reframes that mindset entirely. Dr. Jones emphasizes that our transformation is not a self-generated effort—it is a response to God's mercy and a work made possible through Christ's holiness, not our own striving. In other words, we don't achieve holiness by trying harder; we live it out as we are renewed by the Spirit.

    In October, parents in Florida filed a lawsuit against their gender confused daughter’s middle school and board because the administrators had moved forward with sexually transitioning their child without their knowledge or permission. This may seem shocking, but education and activist groups have stated clearly that parents are a liability to students if they do not immediately affirm gender confusion. This week, Joshua and Mary discuss a final children’s book used to confuse kids about gender binaries, and the model school district policy documents used to to assist schools in shepherding kids into transition, while keeping parents in the dark.

    It has become trendy to identify social justice as a “Gospel issue,” or even as “the heart of the Gospel.” If we do not rally behind this or that social justice cause we are told we suffer from an incomplete or truncated Gospel. How can we contend for the faith once for all entrusted to the saints in this cultural moment? How do we evangelize in the age of social justice?

    Mark Robinson: Racism—A Failure of Faith, Hope, and Love. Simply put, racism is a form of partiality that falls short of the law of neighbor love. As such, it is an ancient sin that doesn’t require new modern categories to understand and address but a continual, fresh recognition that our commonality and solidarity is grounded in realities (i.e. the image of God) that transcend humanly defined notions of race.

    In the 1730s America experienced the Great Awakening, a revival in which thousands were convicted of sin, changed their lives, and influenced their society. A Great Awokening is now transforming social institutions and shaping future generations by convicting millions of their racism, homophobia, transphobia, and misogyny. This Woke ideology has entered schools, the workplace, our language, the media, and government. Where has it come from? How do we recognize it? What should be the church’s response? Though genuine social problems exist, woke solutions only increase social division and mental health issues among our young. Will the Church resist the pressure and remain faithful to Scripture? If so, then the Great Awokening could be a precursor for another Great Awakening.You can view the lecture from the series here.You can view other lectures from the series “The State of Our Dis-Union” here.
