If the Church is a “hospital for the sick,” then we should expect it to be full of people who are sinful, broken (just like we are), and different from us. This week, Katie McCoy and I talk about what our relationship with the Church has looked like throughout our lives, and why the Church is worth committing to, even in the face of church hurt. We discuss the trends we're seeing in church traditions and demographics. We end the episode answering listener questions about when to leave a church, mentorship, being single in the church, and more. This episode and Q&A were recorded live at CCNC 2025.

My husband John Stonestreet will be speaking, along with Dr. Katie McCoy and Dr. Andrew Walker. The topic for the evening is, “A New Sexual Revolution: Living as Image Bearers, Male and Female.” Our culture today is confused about what it means to be male and female because it's lost sight of what men and women are for.

In this message, we delve into the Christian perspective on sexuality and identity, rooted in 1 Corinthians 6. We're reminded that our true identity is found in Christ, not in our desires or cultural trends. The scripture emphasizes that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, designed to bring glory to God. This challenges us to view ourselves holistically – body, mind, and spirit – as created in God's image. We're called to flee from sexual immorality and embrace the transformative power of Christ, understanding that true freedom comes from living as God intended, not from following our every desire. This message is particularly relevant in our sexually confusing times, encouraging us to find our worth and purpose in God's love and design.
182 - Have you every read a passage in the Old Testament and thought, "What?! Does God even care about women?" If so, you're not alone. As modern Christian women it's crucial that we dig deeper to understand the context, history, and culture of what is happening in ancient Israel. As we do, we'll see that God's laws are actually FOR women.

So far in this series, we've learned what the Bible teaches about gender and sexuality, how the fall affects our perception of ourselves and God, and what role the sexual revolution played in where we are today as a culture.

A few weeks ago, we learned that Genesis 1 teaches God created us male and female in his image. Because we're created, God gets to set the boundaries for our lives. But, the fall and our sin nature affects how we view ourselves and our bodies. We also heard about the sexual revolution and how it feeds us the same lie the serpent did in the garden: Did God really say? Today's discussion is going to explore the sexual revolution more in depth and how Christians can think about it. You are going to hear again from our colleagues on the Research team, Alex Ward and Jason Thacker.

Katie McCoy, the director of Women's Ministry at Texas Baptists, shares with us that many contemporary believers misunderstand the status of women in the Old Testament. God's governance of His people before Christ's coming included a vision of women displaying their God-given dignity. With this fresh look at the women of the Old Testament, the redemptive story of history throughout Scripture comes to life.
