Podcasts about biblical sexuality

In this episode of Satisfied, Ryan Swanson continues the Twisted Passions series by turning from explanation to application. For those who have experienced same-sex attraction, the question is not only “How did I get here?” but “What do I do now?” Using Ecclesiastes 4 and the picture of the threefold cord, Ryan explains the biblical importance of mutual discipleship, accountability, and outflow. He challenges listeners not to fight alone, but to share what God has used in their lives to help others pursue purity and satisfaction in Christ. Listeners who have experienced same-sex attraction are invited to anonymously share a verse, biblical truth, testimony, or practical step that has helped them at https://theegeneration.org/ssa. Topics Discussed The loneliness often felt by those struggling with same-sex attraction Why Ecclesiastes 4 speaks directly to the danger of isolation The difference between one-way mentorship and mutual discipleship How the “threefold cord” illustrates shared strength and shared responsibility The importance of personal integrity in the battle for purity Why outflow is a necessary part of Christian growth A powerful testimony from a Christian school chapel where young men began helping one another pursue purity The invitation for listeners to anonymously share what God has used to help them How testimony, Scripture, and practical wisdom can strengthen others in their own fight Key Takeaways You are not meant to face temptation alone. Mutual discipleship is not one strong person pulling up the weak, but believers strengthening one another as they walk with God. God can use the very truths He has taught you in your struggle to help someone else find hope and victory. Outflow helps turn the focus away from self and toward serving others. Even an anonymous testimony can be a meaningful first step in helping someone else become less gratified and more satisfied with Jesus Christ. Victory over deceptive thoughts starts early, before consideration turns into acceptance. Ready to download the Cord App? Find it here!

It can be difficult to discuss sexuality with our teens. Here are some point that we want to communicate clearly to them.To read the original post, visit https://www.thedisciplemakingparent.com/talking-points-for-biblical-sexuality/

In this episode of Satisfied, Ryan Swanson steps back from the recent discussion on the eunuch principle to address the deeper question of why same-sex attraction can feel so real even when it does not reflect God's design. He encourages listeners who believe God may be calling them to unmarried service to walk carefully, avoid making the calling about self-affirmation, and focus instead on undistracted service to Christ. Ryan also exposes several ways the devil can twist curiosity, idle imagination, same-gender friendship, and emotional closeness into confusion about identity and desire. Topics Discussed How to respond if you believe God may be calling you to unmarried service Why it may not be wise to publicly announce or over-explain the eunuch principle too quickly The importance of serving Christ without needing everyone else to fully understand your calling How curiosity can become confused with attraction The danger of an idle mind in a culture saturated with sexuality Why young people need parental guidance, mentorship, and spiritual counsel The difference between same-gender closeness and same-sex attraction How deep emotional bonds can be misinterpreted as sexual desire The biblical example of David and Jonathan's deep, non-sexual friendship Why feelings must be tested by God's Word rather than accepted as identity Key Takeaways Feelings can seem powerful and real, but they are not always truthful. The Word of God, not personal desire or cultural pressure, must define a believer's identity and calling. A life of unmarried service is not about drawing attention to oneself. It is about being free to serve Christ with undistracted devotion. Curiosity, emotional closeness, and deep friendship are not the same thing as sexual attraction. The enemy can twist good and natural desires into confusion when they are not understood biblically. Young people should not be left to navigate sexuality and identity alone. Parents, pastors, and godly mentors have a responsibility to guide them with clarity, compassion, and truth. Victory begins by recognizing the lies of the devil and seeking the Lord for the identity He has chosen. True satisfaction is found not in being affirmed by others, but in being satisfied with Jesus Christ. Victory over deceptive thoughts starts early, before consideration turns into acceptance.

In this episode, Ryan Swanson revisits Matthew 19 and the often-overlooked teaching of Jesus on the eunuch, bringing clarity to questions raised from the previous discussion on “Another Alternative.” Addressing confusion surrounding same-sex attraction and the absence of natural desires, he presents what he calls the “Eunuch Principle.” Rather than pushing listeners toward premature conclusions about lifelong singleness, the episode emphasizes a simple but powerful truth: singleness, in any season, is a gift meant to be stewarded for wholehearted devotion to Christ. Topics Discussed Clarifying Jesus' teaching on eunuchs in Matthew 19 The difference between absence of desire and same-sex attraction Missteps in church culture regarding marriage expectations The concept of being “born” without typical relational desires The danger of overanalyzing one's calling The “Eunuch Principle” explained Singleness as a gift, not a handicap Practical application for teens and young adults Trusting God's timing in relationships and life direction Key Takeaways Not everyone is called to marriage, and that reality is acknowledged by Jesus Himself Some confusion around identity stems from lack of desire, not perverted desire The church has sometimes wrongly treated marriage as the only “successful” outcome Singleness is not a waiting room, it is a strategic opportunity You don't need to figure out your entire life calling right now If you are single today, that is your assignment today God leads those who are already moving in obedience A life fully devoted to Christ is never wasted, regardless of future outcomes Victory over deceptive thoughts starts early, before consideration turns into acceptance.

In this episode of Satisfied, the discussion continues around the question, “Was I born this way?” Rather than defaulting to the common cultural binary of heterosexual or homosexual identity, this episode explores a biblical category many have overlooked: those whom Jesus described as “born eunuchs” in Matthew 19:12. The conversation challenges assumptions about sexual desire, identity, and calling, and presents a compelling case that some individuals may be uniquely designed by God for a life of devoted, undistracted service to the King. Topics Discussed Recap of Romans 1 and the role of vain imaginations in shaping identity The difference between corruption and perversion Propensity toward sin vs. absence of sexual desire Matthew 19:12 and the three types of eunuchs Jesus describes The historical role and significance of eunuchs in ancient kingdoms The concept of intentional singleness and grace for chastity Cultural pressure equating victory with heterosexual marriage The vulnerability of those who lack sexual desire False identity formation through misplaced belonging The power of being understood in moments of isolation Reframing “born this way” through the lens of calling and purpose Viewing singleness not as deficiency, but as strategic kingdom design Key Takeaways Not every lack of heterosexual desire equals homosexual orientation. Jesus explicitly acknowledges individuals born without sexual desire. The absence of sexual desire is not a defect but may be a divine design. The church must stop presenting heterosexual marriage as the only vision of victory. Those uniquely designed for singleness may be called to powerful, focused kingdom service. Identity confusion often grows in environments where vulnerability meets misunderstanding. God does not make mistakes in design; He assigns purpose with intention. A life of undistracted devotion is not second-tier Christianity, but a high calling. Victory over deceptive thoughts starts early, before consideration turns into acceptance.

Sex is everywhere in our culture. It shapes how we think about identity, belonging, and happiness, often without us realizing it. In this message, Pastor Phil explores what God actually says about sex and why His design is not restrictive but protective. Send a text

"Sex and what we do with our bodies is no big deal, right?" At least that is what we are often told. The problem with this is that it isn't true. Sex, and what we do with our bodies, is a big deal. Our bodies and our choices are designed and created to bring glory to God. So, why does this matter, and what can it look like in our lives?

We are jumping into 1 Corinthians 6:9-11. Have you ever had this thought: “Well, at least I am not as bad as that person!” If you have, you are not alone. As Paul continues his letter to the Corinthians, he lists characteristics we are to avoid. The problem with this list is that we are all on there somewhere; the good news is, we don't have to stay there.

In this episode, Ryan and Stephanie Swanson address one of the most common and emotionally charged questions surrounding homosexuality: “Was I born this way?” Drawing from Scripture, personal counseling experience, and an anonymous testimony, they explain why this question often becomes a stumbling block rather than a starting point for truth. The episode emphasizes the role of thought life, cultural influence, and “vain imaginations” in shaping identity, while pointing listeners back to God's created order and the freedom found in aligning our thinking with His truth.Topics DiscussedWhy the “born this way” question often derails meaningful gospel conversationsThe influence of environment, culture, and suggestion on identity formationAn anonymous testimony illustrating how wrong thinking can take root at pivotal momentsSocial media, affirmation culture, and the normalization of identity confusionBiblical analysis of vain imaginations from 2 Corinthians 10 and Romans 1The danger of “considering” thoughts that contradict God's revealed truthPractical counsel for rejecting intrusive or accusatory thoughtsGod's design for men and women and the simplicity of His created orderKey TakeawaysYou are not obligated to consider thoughts that contradict what God has already made clearIdentity confusion often begins with unchecked imagination rather than conscious rebellionCultural affirmation does not equal moral truthScripture calls believers to actively cast down thoughts that oppose the knowledge of GodFreedom begins by agreeing with God, not endlessly analyzing feelingsVictory over deceptive thoughts starts early, before consideration turns into acceptanceReady to download the Cord App?

Studying through 1 Corinthians, we are entering a section of the letter that addresses sex and our bodies, looking at how God has designed each of us with a purpose that the world, or our flesh, often distorts. But in everything, the Lord extends His mercy, grace, and love to all who come to Him, creating a way of restoration and redemption.

Welcome to 2026.In this episode of Calibrate Conversations, Brady shares the vision for the year ahead—what topics we'll be covering, why they matter, and how we plan to approach them with biblical clarity, gospel hope, and compassion.As culture grows increasingly divided, many Christians feel overwhelmed, unsure how to respond to issues surrounding sexuality, gender ideology, schools, libraries, and public policy—especially when kids are involved. This year, Calibrate Conversations will intentionally engage those cultural intersections without losing sight of the Gospel.You'll hear about:* Why we're addressing cultural and policy issues* What's happening in libraries and schools—and why parents need to be informed* Gender ideology, so-called “gender-affirming care,” and protecting children* Biblical gender roles and why they matter for sexuality* Testimonies of redemption, restoration, and hope* How Christians can stand firm in truth while extending graceOur goal is simple: to equip the body of Christ to be faithful, courageous, and compassionate in a confusing cultural moment—and to remind you that God is still redeeming and restoring lives.Timestamps:00:00 – Welcome to 2026 & Vision for the Year02:05 – Why We're Addressing Culture Without Outrage05:12 – The State of Cultural Division Today08:40 – What's Happening in Libraries (And Why Parents Should Care)14:30 – Schools, Gender Ideology, and Parental Rights20:45 – Why “Gender-Affirming Care” Is a Gospel Issue27:10 – Protecting Kids While Trusting Christ32:40 – Biblical Gender Roles & Why This Matters39:25 – Egalitarianism, Complementarianism, and the Church45:50 – Stories of Hope, Redemption, and Restoration52:10 – Final Encouragement & Call to FaithfulnessJoin us weekly as we strive help people embrace God's standard for sexuality! Other ways to listen:https://linktr.ee/calibrateconversations#2026 #CalibrateConversations #Jesus

Many Christian parents want to protect their kids from sexual confusion, pornography, and cultural pressure—but waiting too long to talk about sexuality may be doing more harm than good.In this episode of Calibrate Conversations, Brady sits down with Elizabeth Urbanowicz, founder of Foundation Worldview, to discuss how parents can teach kids God's good design for sexuality early, biblically, and without fear or shame.They explore:Why kids are encountering sexual ideas far earlier than most parents realizeHow to prepare children for pornography and cultural messages before exposure happensWhy “the talk” should be replaced with ongoing discipleship conversationsHow to teach kids biblical sexuality while leading with truth, grace, and the gospelPractical, age-appropriate tools parents can use starting as young as four years oldIf you're a parent, pastor, homeschooler, or Christian educator navigating today's culture, this conversation will equip you to shepherd your children with confidence, clarity, and compassion.Timestamps:00:00 – Why parents are waiting too long03:10 – The problem with “the talk”07:40 – Kids encounter sexual content earlier than you think12:55 – Teaching kids to think biblically, not fearfully18:20 – Preparing children for pornography in the culture26:40 – Age-appropriate conversations starting at 4–635:10 – Sexuality as a good gift from God42:00 – Helping kids process shame and curiosity49:30 – What to do if parents feel hypocritical57:45 – Protecting kids from sexual abuse1:07:10 – Loving family members outside God's design1:15:30 – Teaching truth with kindness1:22:40 – Foundation Worldview resources1:26:30 – Final encouragement for parents

Kyle invites veteran youth pastor John Kidd to join the podcast to discuss teaching about sex to students. John recently taught a series to his students on the topic, which he titled "Cheap Sex." John gives us insight into how he prepared for the series and some of the resources he turned to. He also helps us understand some of the differences between temptation and desire. They also tackle the idea that love is not affirmation as opposed to the cultural narrative that love is love. John also reminds us to know our audience, know the influences they are facing, and to know the parents of our students, so that we can tailor our teaching accordingly while always remaining anchored in God's Word.

In this second Twisted Passions episode, the host tackles a loaded question: Is homosexuality worse than other sins? He explains why Scripture uses especially strong language about homosexuality in the Old Testament, but then emphasizes that the New Testament consistently places it in “lists of sins,” highlighting the gospel's equal sufficiency for all sinners. The episode closes with a pastoral plea: churches often speak against homosexuality from the pulpit, but rarely speak _to_those quietly struggling in the pew, and that gap must change.Topics DiscussedWhy the question “worse” can mean different things (degree of wickedness, path of deliverance, depth of impact)“Corruption” vs “perversion” framing (heterosexual sin vs homosexual sin)Old Testament “abomination” language and civil penalty context (Leviticus 18, 20)New Testament “sin lists” (Romans 1, 1 Corinthians 6, Revelation 21) and what that implies for how believers should think and ministerGospel-centered conclusion: the blood of Christ is sufficient for “all sin,” and the church should not treat people with SSA as a different class of sinnerPastoral application: preaching only to “defend a statement” can unintentionally build a barrier for strugglers; we need diligence, not toleranceKey Takeaways“Worse” has multiple layers: moral weight, deliverance process, and personal impact.The New Testament's emphasis is not ranking sin but spotlighting the gospel that rescues sinners.Churches should pair biblical clarity with real pastoral care for those in the congregation who are silently battling.Practical safeguards and wise boundaries are normal in discipleship for any besetting sin, and should not be treated as uniquely shameful here.Ready to download the Cord App?

In this episode, Bonnie and Ricky discuss a recent survey of church-goers and the common misconceptions believed even among people who attend church (not necessarily Christ-followers). They meet these misconceptions with the truth of God's Word.

This week, Ricky and Bonnie sit down with another participant from our Living Hope Women's Group, Bridget, who shares her story from her testimony to finding Living Hope to pursuing a degree in apologetics and now a certification in Biblical Sexuality Ministry through the Institute of Biblical Sexuality.

It's Wednesday, November 5th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Vulnerable Asian and African girls kidnapped, abused, converted to Islam Christian women and girls are easy targets for persecution in South Asian and African nations. Last Tuesday, a panel at the World Evangelical Alliance's 14th General Assembly shared details. For example, girls in Nigeria, Sudan, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo are often kidnapped, abused, and forced to convert to Islam. Even if they escape, they often face rejection after returning to their families, communities, or churches.  The panel called for better care for the women and girls subjected to such persecution. In Matthew 25:40, Jesus said, “Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.” Finnish stateswoman on trial again for affirming Biblical sexuality Speaking of persecuted women, a Christian woman in Finland is on trial for posting online about her biblical views on marriage and sexuality.  Last Thursday, the country's Supreme Court heard the case of Päivi Räsänen, a 65-year-old Finnish Member of Parliament. The state prosecution of her religious expression continues despite lower courts clearing her of wrongdoing. Listen to her recent comments to CitizenGo.  RÄSÄNEN: “This has been my calling. This has been some kind of privilege, to defend these very crucial values, to defend the freedom of speech and freedom of faith, because that is what we need just now. And also to bring the teachings of the Bible in public.” Lutheran Bishop Juhana Pohjola is also on trial in the case. He said, “I think it is important that Christians continue to be able to defend Christian marriage and the Christian view of humanity without fear.” In 2 Thessalonians 1:8, the Apostle Paul wrote “Therefore, do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me His prisoner, but share with me in the sufferings for the Gospel according to the power of God.” 40 Days for Life has saved 25,000 babies from abortion 40 Days for Life completed its latest campaign on Sunday. Pro-lifers mobilized for vigils in 671 cities worldwide for the last 40 days.  Shawn Carney, president of the pro-life group, said, “Thanks to your prayers and God's generosity, we continue to receive reports of babies who were scheduled to be aborted--but are instead alive and well!” In some cities, vigils are continuing year-round through the 40 Days for Life 365 initiative. Since 2007, 40 Days for Life has saved over 25,000 babies from abortion.  Former Vice President Dick Cheney died In the United States, former Vice President Dick Cheney died on Monday at the age of 84. His family said in a statement that he died from complications of pneumonia and cardiac and vascular disease.  The statement noted, “Dick Cheney was a great and good man who taught his children and grandchildren to love our country, and to live lives of courage, honor, love, kindness, and fly fishing.” Sadly, Cheney supported homosexual faux marriage because his daughter, Mary Cheney, married her lesbian lover, Heather Poe. Cheney was known as one of the most influential vice presidents in U.S. history. He served as vice president under both terms of President George W. Bush. He was a key yet controversial leader in the “War on Terror” following the 9/11 terrorists attacks. Cheney was a member of the United Methodist Church. He was also the first Methodist vice president to serve under a Methodist president. U.S. Episcopal Church shrinking for anti-Biblical stances The U.S. Episcopal Church released its 2024 Parochial Report last month. And it's not good news. Not surprisingly, the mainline Protestant denomination reported fewer baptisms and a drop in the total number of parishes -- no doubt the result of the Episcopal Church's rejection of Biblical authority and an embrace of sodomy and baby killing through abortion. Worship attendance did increase last year, but is still down compared to a decade ago. At its rate of decline, the denomination could have no Sunday attendance in 30 years. Deuteronomy 4:2 warns, “Do not add to what I command you and do not subtract from it, but keep the commands of the Lord your God that I give you.” Slight decrease in U.S. obesity rate And finally, Gallup reports obesity rates are declining in the U.S. The adult obesity rate stands at 37% this year. That's down from a high of 39.9% in 2022 but up from 25.5% in 2008. While obesity rates have declined recently, diagnoses of diabetes have reached an all-time high of 13.8%. That's up slightly from 10.6% in 2008. The use of weight loss injectable drugs has risen sharply over the past year. The popularity of these weight loss drugs is connected with lower obesity rates but has not lessened the rate of diabetes diagnoses.  Close And that's The Worldview on this Wednesday, November 5th, in the year of our Lord 2025. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus (Adam@TheWorldview.com).

  Guest: Ricky Chelette, Executive Director for Living Hope Ministries   If you'd like to watch this podcast, check out the PCA YouTube page.   Ricky Chelette helps us understand how the “T” of LGBTQ has "changed everything." Sexual orientation used to be something you were “born with” and was unchangeable, but today both gender and sexuality are seen by many as being on a sliding scale and can be changed on a whim! From battles over men in women's sports and locker rooms to accusations that institutions are prescribing hormone blockers to children as young as 8 years old, transgender ideology has taken our current cultural chaos by storm and Christian parents need to understand how to engage in a meaningful and biblical way! Ricky also helped launch The Institute for Biblical Sexuality, whose mission is to train the church and future generations about God's remarkable design for gender and sexuality.

In this powerful exploration of God's design for sex and sexuality, we're challenged to confront the distortions of our culture and return to biblical truth. The sermon delves into Romans 1:22-28, revealing how society has exchanged God's truth for lies, particularly in matters of sexual morality. We're reminded that God's design for sex within marriage is not restrictive, but protective and joyful. The message encourages us to find our true identity in Christ, not in our sexual desires or cultural norms. It's a call to embrace God's vision of purity in singleness and faithfulness in marriage, recognizing that both states reflect different aspects of our relationship with Christ. This teaching invites us to examine our own lives and beliefs, urging us to align ourselves with God's word rather than societal trends.

Brady Cone sits down with Andrew Rodriguez, founder of Integrity Christian Counseling and host of the Psycho Bible podcast, to unpack SSA, shame, Side-B identity, marriage readiness, gender ideology, and how parents can disciple kids without compromise—or cruelty. It's practical, biblical, and unflinchingly honest.

On this episode of Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson, we confront the horrific attack at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis. The shooter, Robert “Robin” Westman, once walked those same halls as a student. Years of unchecked mental illness and spiritual rebellion ended in bloodshed.America is in denial. We refuse to face the truth: the transgender movement is built on a Satanic lie. No one can change the sex God gave them. Pretending otherwise doesn't heal broken souls, it destroys them and puts others in danger.Christians must speak plainly. Love does not mean affirming sin or confusion. Love means pointing people back to Christ, who alone gives us our identity. Until our nation repents and turns back to God, tragedies like this will only increase.Pray for the victims and their families.--https://policecoffee.com/collections/coffee

 It's summer time and here on Youth Culture Matters we're devoting our time to shorter episodes where we're talking about "Purposeful Parenting." We'll be addressing timely topics to encourage and equip you as parents to help your kids navigate their world in ways that bring honor and glory to God. Take a few minutes to listen in today as Walt Mueller shares ways to talk to your kids about biblical sexuality during this "Pride Month."

Pride Month is evil, and we must call it what it is. In this episode, we're discussing the spiritual implications of Pride Month, asking hard questions about what it represents—and how believers should respond. We're drawing the connection between pride, identity, and rebellion against God's design for human flourishing.Many Christians feel spiritually drained during this month, and we should. I'm challenging my listeners to love the LGBTQ+ community not with silence or compromise (and certainly not with support) but with truth—the truth that God offers forgiveness, transformation, and eternal life to all who repent and follow Christ.We must hate sin while praying for our enemies. Our culture desperately needs more holiness, conviction, and compassion rooted in the gospel, which is telling those around us the truth.—https://www.thebrandsunday.com/products/the-bible-study-physical?srsltid=AfmBOoqBR_MWE2-fkYXYHCn80nZtEct4ixmRGrXZSrgIn5HP_tBc9Mcy

In this episode, we dive into the topic of biblical sexuality with Rodney Wright. We discuss his passion for addressing this often-overlooked issue and why the conversation around biblical sexuality is “dead” in many churches today. Exploring beyond the simple “sex is for marriage” approach, we discuss how we can recover a more holistic, biblical understanding of human sexuality in a modern context. Rodney shares insights on balancing sexual holiness with compassion for those struggling with brokenness, the role of marriage in God's design, and how the resurrection of Jesus brings renewal to both our sexuality and community. Plus, we preview how churches can better support singles in embracing biblical sexuality.
