Podcasts about embodied transgender identities

Should Christians use preferred pronouns? Is it wise and biblically permissible, or not?

Scripture: Genesis 1:26-31 Key Takeaways: + God made us male and female to bear his image -       Matthew 19:3-6 + Our bodies are a good gift from God and tell us who we are “This is hugely important. If the body is merely a vehicle or a costume for the real you, then it is the equivalent of property. But we know this can't really be the case. However much we might privilege the mind or soul over the body as the ‘real' us, we know deep down that the body is an essential part of who we truly are. When people hurt your body, you know that they have not just damaged some of your property; they have violated you. What you do to someone's body, you do to a person… We cannot escape our embodied-ness. Alastair Roberts sums it up neatly: ‘The body isn't just something that clothes the self but is itself the self.” – Sam Allberry. What God has to say about our Bodies. + Some people feel an incongruence between their biological sex and their internal sense of self “In many Western countries, we've seen a massive spike in teenagers questioning their gender. For instance, the Tavistock Centre in London, the main gender clinic in the United Kingdom, treated 51 (34 males, 17 females) children and teenagers in 2009 who had gender dysphoria or were identifying as trans*. In 2016, the same clinic saw 1,766 (557 males, 1,209 females) children and teenagers, and in 2019 it saw 2,364 (624 males, 1,740 females). That's more than 5000% increase among females in 10 years. Researchers have documented similar upsurges, among biological females in particular, in many Western countries: Sweden, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Canada, and the United States.” – Preston Sprinkle. Embodied: Transgender Identities, the Church, and What the Bible Has to Say. + Our hope is in transformation not transition “Christian discipleship is oriented toward living out the divine image that God created us to be. Sexed bodies are part of that image. Ontologically then, transitioning would be moving us further away from who we are, not bringing us closer to it.” – Preston Sprinkle. Embodied: Transgender Identities, the Church, and What the Bible Has to Say. -       Romans 12:1-2 -       2 Corinthians 5:17 + See people as image bearers that are to be loved, protected, and cared for + Develop convictions not just gut reactions + Parents, own and exercise your authority compassionately + Seek to be a welcoming community that listens, learns, loves, and shares the truths with compassion and patience

In 1 Corinthians 5-7, Paul deals with a variety of situations that call for a healthy understanding of Christian sexual ethics. The heart of his response can be summarized as “honor God with your bodies.” How can Paul's response to Corinth speak to our contemporary moment? One thing is certain: grace and truth belong together.The sermon today is titled "Body Matters." It is the eleventh installment in our series "City Lights: Bearing Witness To A Culture In Crisis." The Scripture reading is from 1 Corinthians 6:13-20 (ESV). Originally preached at the West Side Church of Christ (Searcy, AR) on November 10, 2024.

In this week's conversation between Dr. James Emery White and co-host Alexis Drye, they discuss a recent Gallup poll that found that 7.6% of Americans now identify as LGBTQ+ - a figure that has more than doubled over the last 12 years. When you dive into the generational data from this poll, it revealed that for Generation Z, 22.3% now identify as LGBTQ+ which is far beyond Millennials or any other generation. The most pressing question is what is accounting for this very sudden rise? Episode Links In Dr. White's book Meet Generation Z: Understanding and Reaching the New Post-Christian World, he noted five primary marks of this generation. One of those marks is that Gen Z are sexually fluid. This means that the rise in identifying as LGBTQ+ is not so much about a true shift in orientation, but rather an openness to all things sexual. And much of that openness is a direct result of cultural pressure that would say you must be open minded enough to explore other genders and sexual orientations. For more on understanding the cultural pressures, Dr. White suggested reading the book Embodied: Transgender Identities, the Church, and What the Bible Has to Say by Preston Sprinkle. Cultural acceptance, however, does seem to be making a shift - at least among religious groups. The PRRI recently released their “Religious Change in America” study which found that support does tend to be waning. This is likely a result of the cultural overreach that has taken place. And the church does need to speak out on this. Dr. White has delivered two series at Mecklenburg Community Church that we'd suggest you check out: Holy Matrimony and Gender. And this is not the first time we've touched on this topic on the C&C Podcast. Be sure to listen to these past episodes: CCP38: On Attending Diwali Celebrations and Gay Weddings and CCP21: On Gender.

Message from Preston Sprinkle on April 7, 2024

In week two of this conversation, we want to ask what it means to support and care for those who might consider transitioning. This passage helps us with this question

Preston Sprinkle doesn't shy away from the tension of wrestling with what the Bible says about marriage and sexuality. As his theological curiosity has led him to search the scriptures and dialogue with people in the LGBTQ community, Preston is also committed to embodying the grace and kindness of Jesus. He joins the Perrys on today's episode to discuss some of his methods in approaching the topic of same-sex marriage. It all starts with asking the fundamental question, “What is marriage?”Follow Preston Sprinkle at PrestonSprinkle.com and check out his new book, Does the Bible Support Same-Sex Marriage?His other books include Embodied: Transgender Identities, the Church, and What the Bible Has to Say and  People to Be Loved: Why Homosexuality Is Not Just an Issue. Take our brief listener survey.  To support the work of the Perrys, donate via PayPal.To advertise with the Perrys, visit WithThePerrys.com/Partner.www.withtheperrys.comwww.jackiehillperry.comwww.preston-perry.com

How do we hear the voice of Jesus clearly speak our identity over us in a culture cluttered with competing voices? Lead Student Minister Adam Herndon and Executive Minister David Meyer have a conversation overviewing the current student Gathering series entitled Clear Identity. This series will be every Wednesday night in October at every campus. It will conclude on October 25 when the current cultural identites of gender and sexuality will be discussed. All families have received resources and can reach out to their campus student minister for other resources or support your family may need as you navigate conversations related to identity. Bottom line: Our identity must be fully formed by Jesus, not by what we decide it is or what others say, or what we have, or what we do. This is true freedom for the next generation and for all of us.

The conversation about transgender identities is challenging at multiple levels. But at the deepest level, it's a conversation about what it means to be a human being.

How do we address gender pronouns and sexuality with our kids? As professionals in leadership and therapy we have been processing this with parents and kids for many years. We will encourage you to stay curious, research topics as questions arise and step into these conversations with your children. Your voice as the parent is the key factor in how your children will react to these issues, so remember to approach sensitive topics with truth, grace and gentleness.   Check out these similar resources:  How to approach transgender topics with your teen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-_EPogLO-W4&list=PLdPzQ_cUwCbRc-MQ40KL3a6ze06CiY38l&index=24&t=26s Embodied: Transgender Identities, The Church, and What the Bible Has to Say: https://www.amazon.com/Embodied-Transgender-Identities-Church-Bible/dp/0830781226 Helping moms raise confident daughters: https://www.cpguides.org/ Meet them with Jesus: Responding biblically to our kids' problems: https://www.christianparenting.org/articles/meet-them-with-jesus-responding-biblically-to-our-kids-problems/ Talking to your kids about dating and relationships: https://www.christianparenting.org/articles/talking-with-your-kids-about-dating-and-relationships/

In this week's conversation between Dr. James Emery White and co-host Alexis Drye, they discuss how conversations regarding the LGBTQ+ community have evolved over the decades from a narrow focus on sexual orientation to a broader focus on gender and what it even means to be male or female. It's important to have a solid theological foundation to be able to think critically about gender's manifestations when it comes to culture. Because it's clear the ripple effects this is having are significant. Episode Links Dr. White delivered a series at Mecklenburg Community Church that would be extremely helpful to listen to as it relates to today's episode. Titled “Gender,” the three installments covered a theology of sexual identity, all things transgender and parenting and gender. And as parenting is such a key idea related to the disturbing rise in rapid onset gender dysphoria, another helpful series is “The Under Protective Parent.” There are also a number of blogs that you can read by Dr. White on this topic. “Sexual Fluidity” is a blog that examines how Generation Z, in particular, have fully embraced the idea that gender can be fluid, with a shockingly high percentage claiming they are bisexual. Two blogs - “Unreported Regret” and “About Bruce” - both take a look at the fallout that so often happens when gender reversal surgery is pursued, particularly at a young age. Dr. White also wrote a three-part blog series on gender, that you can find HERE. Finally, Dr. White mentioned a very helpful resource on transgender identities called Embodied: Transgender Identities, the Church, and What the Bible Has to Say by Preston Sprinkle that you can find HERE on Amazon.

Over 20% of Gen Z identifies as LGBTQ+.  That's roughly 1 in 4 of today's teen and young adult populations. There is a lot of confusion around gender and sexuality in our Christian culture today - how do we love others well that have different belief systems and  different language around gender and sexuality? How do we parent our children in a way that honors our faith and what we believe to be true? What do we do with the Church's reputation of hate towards LGBTQ people we inherited?  With even the staunchest of liberals asking questions around the sharp rise in people identifying as LGBTQ our grace and truth filled responses are more important than ever. This week's guest, Dr. Preston Sprinkle, is the co-founder and president of The Center for Faith, Gender, and Sexuality and has written several books guiding Christians through these areas including Embodied: Transgender Identities, the Church + What the Bible has to Say and People to be Loved.  Connect with Preston Sprinkle:  Website:  https://www.prestonsprinkle.com/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PrestonMSprinkle?fref=ts  Instagram:  @preston.sprinkle Twitter: @PrestonSprinkle Podcast: Theology in the Raw   Links Mentioned:   Bill Maher on Real Time with Bill Maher: New Rule: Along for the Pride May 20, 2022: Mark Esper, Donna Brazile, Adam Carolla (Full Episode)  Clip that was discussed: New Rule: Along for the Pride The Center for Faith, Sexuality, and Gender The Center for Faith, Sexuality, and Gender course on Parenting LGBTQ Kids Related Episodes: Preparing Now for Future Puberty and Masturbation Questions :: Megan Michelson and Mary Flo Ridley [Ep 243] Let's Talk About Sex :: Mary Flo Ridley and Megan Michelson [Ep 328] Sexual Identity and Radical Ordinary Hospitality :: Rosaria Butterfield [Ep 301] Gay Girl, Good God :: Jackie Hill Perry [Ep 214] When to Have “The Talk” :: Mary Flo Ridley [Encore] Birds and Bees (Continuing the Conversation) :: Mary Flo Ridley and Megan Michelson [Ep 153] Featured Sponsors:  HelloFresh.

We live in a time when people are desperate for answers about same-sex attraction, gender dysphoria, and the evolving trans community. When it comes to these difficult topics, Christians often run or react in fear when the world needs truth in love.Today, on The Godmother podcast, I have a returning friend and guest, Preston Sprinkle, author of Embodied: Transgender Identities, the Church, and What the Bible Has to Say, joining the conversation to discuss some of the most jarring questions pressing society today.*   What is the LGBTQ community?*   What makes “Trans” unique?*   How do we talk to our children about gender?*   How do we compassionately engage with those struggling with gender dysphoria?*   How do we avoid canned answers and engage with those who are struggling in an empathetic and meaningful way?Preston is a voice preparing the church to lead in love.

We're wrapping up our series on great books for believers to read this week by looking at a tough conversation facing many people today: transgender identities. Pastor Paul and Mark are joined by Pastor Ty Waardenburg as they look together at an excellent resource for Christians who might be wrestling with how to show love in situations where the Bible's truth interacts with and may differ from many of our world's lifestyle choices. Preston Sprinkle is the author of Embodied: Transgender Identities, The Church & What the Bible Has to Say, and this title is one that reminds us to see those in the transgender community solely as people rather than statistics or issues. Here on A Fresh Take, we don't always find hard and fast answers to difficult issues. Instead, we look to express how to represent truth, grace, and Christ without being cold and judgmental to those we may not agree with. As Sprinkle says, "Outrage doesn't change the world. Love changes the world." :: RESOURCES :: Embodied by Preston Sprinkle :: VIDEO PODCAST :: A Fresh Take is on YouTube, too!

The transgender issue is everywhere. Hardly a day goes by without some new transgender related story in the news, whether it's former men competing in women's sports, somebody being fired for daring to suggest that biology really matters, or hospitals replacing words like "mother" and "breast-feeding" with gender neutral alternatives. For all the talk of LGBT, it seems that "T" is rapidly eating up every other letter of the alphabet. This episode of Pod of the Gaps wades into this hugely contested territory and tries to shed some light. What is driving the transgender agenda in culture? What are some of the bigger questions that aren't often asked? What should Christians think of transgender — and how should we respond to those caught up in the movement with both honesty and grace, truth and love? Join Andy Bannister (self-identifies as a tea drinker), Michael Ots (self-identifies as a baker), and Aaron Edwards (self-identifies as a lover of long theological words) as they explore this important issue with their usual mix of wit, wisdom, and insight. ============ We mentioned several important books in the episode. Here are the details of each of them; they're all available from any good online or real-world bookstore: Abigail Shrier,"Irreversible Damage: Teenage Girls and the Transgender Craze" (London: Swift Press, 2021) Douglas Murray, "The Madness of Crowds: Gender, Race and Identity" (London: Bloomsbury, 2019) Helen Pluckrose & James Lindsay, "Cynical Theories: How Universities Made Everything about Race, Gender, and Identity - and Why This Harms Everybody" (London: Swift Press, 2020) Preston Sprinkle, "Embodied: Transgender Identities, the Church, and What the Bible Has to Say" (Colorado Springs: David.

Noah interviews Preston Sprinkle on how to talk about politics & polarizing issues. The heart of this topic comes from the social media and political climate we are in where it has become very difficult to have civil and loving conversation with people you disagree with. We also look at way the Church goes too far in being partisan or to the other extreme of avoiding biblical issues that happen to be political.    Preston Sprinkle (Ph.D.) is an international speaker and a New York Times bestselling author, who's written a dozen books including Embodied: Transgender Identities, the Church  & What the Bible has to say, and People to Be Loved: Why Homosexuality Is not just an Issue. Preston currently serves as the president of The Center for Faith, Sexuality & Gender, an organization that equips Christians to engage questions about faith, sexually & gender with theological faithfulness and courageous love.
