Podcasts about gender sexuality

We may think that since the election of President Trump, we are living in a post-woke world. But this is a mistake. Wokeness remains the prevailing worldview in secular culture. So how can Christians thoughtfully engage with the ongoing challenges of wokeness⎯ in the church and everyday life? How do we accurately define wokeness, and why does it remain influential? And how can believers respond with clarity, courage, and compassion? It's vital for us to be equipped with practical steps for conversations, parenting, workplace pressures, and loving our neighbors well. We must stand firm in the truth. Our guest today is Dr. Neil Shenvi, co-author of the book Post-Woke: Asserting a Biblical View of Race, Gender & Sexuality, which we will be discussing in today's conversation. Neil has an A.B. in chemistry from Princeton and a PhD in theoretical chemistry from the University of California, Berkeley. He worked as a research scientist at Yale University and Duke University and has published over thirty peer-reviewed scientific papers. In addition, his writings on critical theory have been published by the Journal of Christian Legal Thought, the Gospel Coalition, Ratio Christi, & the Liberty University Law Review, among others. Let's dive in!

She lived as a man for 14 years and identified as transgender, gay, and Christian. Years later, while sitting next to a lake, God told Lex that he would "wow" her, if she would only trust in His design.

RU374: GENESIS BREYER P-ORRIDGE ON GENDER, SEXUALITY & PERVERSION AT THE NEW SCHOOL https://renderingunconscious.substack.com/p/ru374-genesis-breyer-p-orridge-on Rendering Unconscious episode 374. Back in 2013, Jamieson Webster invited me to co-teach a class with her on Gender, Sexuality and Perversion at the New School for Social Research in New York, and I invited Genesis Breyer P-Orridge to present to our class as a guest lecturer. My sister Stephanie Sinclair filmed the event, so I thought I'd post it here for all of you to enjoy! In this episode, Genesis explores the impact of societal expectations on individuals from conception, using performance art to explore human behavior. S/he describes he/r experiments with archetypal characters in the 1960s, leading to a realization of the theatrical nature of human presentation. S/he delves into he/r work utilizing shamanic techniques, physical stress, and rituals to reprogram the nervous system, including extreme experiences like being wrapped in wolf skins and suspended in a coffin. The conversation also touches on their journey towards pandrogeny, the concept of DNA as a control mechanism, and their quest for consciousness beyond the physical body, culminating in their belief in reincarnation and the search for a way to communicate beyond death.

This episode was recorded live at the 2025 Socialism Conference in Chicago, where we collaborated with conference organizers to host four discussions over the first weekend in July. All four recordings are now available for Death Panel patrons at www.patreon.com/deathpanelpod feat. Beatrice, Sophie Lewis, Melissa Gira Grant Session description: As the state intensifies its assault on gender, sexuality, and reproduction—criminalizing abortion, trans care, and pregnancy outcomes, dismantling government functions to fight "gender ideology," and defining "real women" under the guise of protection—how do we endure and resist? Under the shadow of a second Trump administration, the erosion of rights is not a glitch but a feature of a broader regime of privatization and control. Journalist Melissa Gira Grant, and authors Sophie Lewis and Beatrice Adler-Bolton discuss how today's attacks are part of a longer history of state repression, and how we can build resistance in an era of hyper-austerity and rising fascism. Editor's Note: About 8 minutes in, we had to temporarily switch to our local audio backup to restore a piece of the conversation that is absent in the livestreamed version.

They unpack how Christian nationalism uses ideas about gender, family, and sexuality to shape political identity—especially among white working-class Americans. Dr. Whitehead shares key insights from public opinion data that reveal a strong link between Christian nationalist beliefs and support for authoritarian leaders. The conversation explores the myth of the “nuclear family,” the politics of fear, and how nostalgia and hierarchy fuel the MAGA movement.

It's no secret that superhero comics and their related media perpetuate a model of a straight, white, male hero at the expense of representing women and other minorities, but other narratives exist. Searching for Feminist Superheroes: Gender, Sexuality, and Race in Marvel Comics (University of Texas Press, 2024) by Dr. Sam Langsdale recognizes that female-led superhero comics, with diverse casts of characters and inclusive storytelling, exist on the margins of the mainstream superhero genre. But rather than focusing on these stories as marginalized, Dr. Langsdale's work on heroes such as Spider-Woman, America Chavez, and Ironheart locates the margins as a site of innovation and productivity, which have enabled the creation of feminist superhero texts. Employing feminist and intersectional philosophies in an analysis of these comics, Dr. Langsdale suggests that feminist superheroes have the potential to contribute to a social imagination that is crucial in working toward a more just world. At a time when US popular culture continues to manifest as a battleground between oppressive and progressive social norms, Searching for Feminist Superheroes demonstrates that a fight for a better world is worthwhile. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose new book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

What is the best way to talk to children about gender and sexuality? How can I speak the truth in love about God's good design? A conversation with Elizabeth Urbanowicz of Foundation Worldview.

The 'baby boom' generation, born between the 1940s and the 1960s, is often credited with pioneering new and creative ways of relating, doing intimacy and making families. With this cohort now entering mid and later life in Britain, they are also said to be revolutionising the experience of ageing. Are the romantic practices of this 'revolutionary cohort' breaking with tradition and allowing new ways of understanding and doing ageing and relating to emerge? Based on an innovative combination of sensory ethnography in salsa classes and life history interviews, Ageing and New Intimacies: Gender, Sexuality and Temporality in an English Salsa Scene (Manchester UP, 2024) by Dr. Sarah Milton documents the meanings of desire and romance, and 'new' - or renewed - intimacies, among women in mid and later life. Beginning with women at a transition point, when newly single or newly dating in midlife, the chapters look back over life histories to examine prior relationship experiences at different life stages, and look forward to hopes for future intimacies. In the navigation of romance and new relationships we see the sensory, sensual and affective nature of heteronormativity, and gendered practices that are informed by memories of the past, the imagination of previous generations and class-based desires. Challenging conventional notions of the baby boomers, this book illuminates the intersections of age, class, and white normativity, making important contributions to our understanding of ageing and generation, intimacy and gender. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose new book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Beginning with women at a transition point, when newly single or newly dating in midlife, the chapters look back over life histories to examine prior relationship experiences at different life stages, and look forward to hopes for future intimacies. In the navigation of romance and new relationships we see the sensory, sensual and affective nature of heteronormativity, and gendered practices that are informed by memories of the past, the imagination of previous generations and class-based desires. Challenging conventional notions of the baby boomers, this book illuminates the intersections of age, class, and white normativity, making important contributions to our understanding of ageing and generation, intimacy and gender. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose new book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

The 'baby boom' generation, born between the 1940s and the 1960s, is often credited with pioneering new and creative ways of relating, doing intimacy and making families. With this cohort now entering mid and later life in Britain, they are also said to be revolutionising the experience of ageing.

Why is understanding marriage and the nature of men and women so crucial? As Dr. Colin Smothers and Dr. Jeff discuss, the Bible begins with a marriage between Adam and Eve, the gospel is explained as a marriage, and history ends with a marriage between the Lamb and the Church, the Bride. If we lack an understanding of marriage, sexuality, and human nature, we will inevitably have trouble understanding the good news of Jesus and the biblical narrative. Check out Dr. Smothers' book, Male and Female He Created Them: A Study on Gender, Sexuality, & Marriage. Listen to every episode of the Dr. Jeff Show wherever you listen to podcasts.

S14 EP12 | Dr. Lulu, a Nigerian-born pediatrician and advocate, shares her personal journey of self-discovery and acceptance as a queer person. Growing up in a homophobic and religious society, she struggled with internalized homophobia and rejected her own child when they showed signs of being feminine. However, after her child revealed themselves as transgender, Dr. Lulu had a change of heart and became an advocate for LGBTQIA+ youth. She emphasizes the importance of unlearning societal norms and accepting and affirming our children for who they truly are. Dr. Lulu also discusses her new gender-affirming family coaching practice and the importance of supporting siblings in the transition process.

Dr. Paul Gibson | Philippians 2:5-8The LGBTQIA+ community has some of the highest rates of anxiety, suicide and depression. How do we, as Christ-followers, lovingly care for the LGBTQIA+ community without affirming the lifestyle? How might understanding family systems help us care better for our LGBTQIA+ neighbors and their mental health? What practical resources are available for us to reference if we desire or need to help?

Dr. David Swanson | 2 Corinthians 10:5What do I say to my child who thinks they may be gay? What do I say to a friend who has a child transitioning from male to female? Do I attend a gay wedding? What does the church do when a trans female wants to stay in the female cabins on a youth retreat? How can the church remain winsome and attractive when we are labeled as bigoted and homophobic? How can we stop what seems to be unstoppable momentum?

Dr. David Swanson | Acts 17:22, Ephesians 4:15The Church has been given the assignment of speaking truth in love, so that means engaging in deeper discipleship on these issues while also moving out into the community, forming relationships, and being an alternative voice to the cultural narrative that says, "It all rests on ME."

Dr. David Swanson | Romans 1We will trace the subtle and not-so-subtle cultural movements, each of which has weakened our social and moral fabric. We will also look ahead to what will likely happen as a result of a culture with no moral authority.

From the overloaded courts with their constantly changing dates and appointments to the need to prove oneself the “right" kind of asylum seeker, the asylum system in the United States is an exacting and drawn-out immigration process that itself results in suffering. When anthropologist Rhoda Kanaaneh became a volunteer interpreter for Arab asylum seekers, she discovered how applicants learned to craft a specific narrative to satisfy the system's requirements. Kanaaneh tells the stories of four Arab asylum seekers who sought protection in the United States on the basis of their gender or sexuality: Saud, who relived painful memories of her circumcision and police harassment in Sudan and then learned to number and sequence these recollections; Fatima, who visited doctors and therapists in order to document years of spousal abuse without over-emphasizing her resulting mental illness; Fadi, who highlighted the homophobic motivations that provoked his arrest and torture in Jordan, all the while omitting connected issues of class and racism; and Marwa, who showcased her private hardships as a lesbian in a Shiite family in Lebanon and downplayed her environmental activism. The Right Kind of Suffering: Gender, Sexuality, and Arab Asylum Seekers in America (U Texas Press, 2023) is a compelling portrait of Arab asylum seekers whose success stories stand in contrast with those whom the system failed. Rhoda Kanaaneh has taught anthropology and gender and sexuality studies at Columbia University, American University, New York University, and Fordham University. She is the editor of Displaced at Home: Ethnicity and Gender Among Palestinians in Israel and author of Surrounded: Palestinian Soldiers in the Israeli Military and Birthing the Nation: Strategies of Palestinian Women in Israel. Alize Arıcan is a Society of Fellows Postdoctoral Scholar at Boston University and an incoming Assistant Professor of Anthropology at CUNY—City College, focusing on urban renewal, futurity, care, and migration.

Dr. David Swanson | Matthew 5:27-28People often think "It's never been like this before, and yet it has: First-century Rome was like this and worse. We'll review that history as well as the last 300 years of Western thought which has brought about expressive individualism and a diminishing belief in God.

Dr. David Swanson | Genesis 2:18, 24; 1 Corinthians 6:12-20, Leviticus 18, 20The Bible has much to say about gender and sexuality. The truths revealed are "settled" from a Biblical perspective. The challenge is how we apply the truth in a way that expresses love and understanding.

Dr. David Swanson | Genesis 1, 2 Timothy 3:16-17Establishing the Authority of Scripture as the basis by which we understand gender and sexuality; then looking at the beauty of God's design for sexuality - as men and women flourishing for God's purposes in the context of marriage.
