Happy Pride, millennials! This week Laura and Eric are getting personal. They share their results from the Kinsey Scale and the Klein Sexual Orientation Grid and dig into what those numbers actually mean — and what they don't. Do these tools change how you think about your identity? When do labels feel useful, and when do they just flatten the full picture? The conversation expands from sexuality to gender, including a thought experiment that asks: if you could wake up tomorrow in a different body — with no one batting an eye — would you press the button? For a deeper dive on figuring out gender identity, check out Doc Impossible's piece on Substack: https://stainedglasswoman.substack.com/p/how-to-figure-out-if-youre-trans Then Laura and Eric zoom out to talk about the state of Pride in 2026 — what it means to celebrate, and what corporate involvement in queer spaces has come to look like. We dig into the cautionary tale of Target, which built its entire brand identity around inclusion and aspiration, then quietly walked away from it under political and economic pressure — with real consequences for its bottom line. (Full piece from the Minnesota Reformer linked below.) Recs this week: Laura's watching The Birdcage — a forever classic. And Eric wants you to check out Doc Impossible on substack. After Dark is an extension of today's conversation — what does "heterosexual, more than incidental homosexual tendencies" actually mean for how we think about own identities? We dig into this and more personal questions inspired by today's discussion!

Gender en alles wat erbij komt kijken is een gevoelig, complex en voor velen een moeilijk te begrijpen onderwerp. Wat is gender? Wat is het verschil tussen gender en geslacht? En wat heeft seksuele voorkeur daarmee te maken? En waarom iets leren van chimpansees? In deze aflevering proberen we er wat licht op te schijnen. Psychologen Lennard Toma en Thijs Launspach duiken het onderwerp in via primatoloog Frans de Waal, die met zijn boek Anders laat zien dat in het dierenrijk verschillen in gender, seksuele voorkeur en geslacht heel normaal zijn.

Send us Fan MailPicture this: you're scheduling the appointments, managing the meds, and making sure they're safe, while a part of you is still carrying the memories of harsh words, neglect, or a home that never felt emotionally safe. That's the reality for many family caregivers, especially during seasons like Mother's Day and Father's Day when everyone else seems to be celebrating “perfect” parents. I want you to hear this clearly: feeling conflicted doesn't make you ungrateful, faithless, or “bad” at caregiving. It makes you human.We walk through what Christian caregiving can look like when you're caring for someone who wounded you, including a moving story from Kinsey Oglesby. After her father passed away, Kinsey found herself caring for a mother who had been verbally abusive, as dementia and vulnerability made the needs more urgent and more intimate. Her journey starts with dutiful care and shifts through a moment of spiritual clarity, offering a picture of what God can do without minimizing the past.We also get practical about honoring your father and mother without losing yourself. We talk boundaries, safety, and why “honor” is about how you behave toward them, not giving them unlimited access to you. We explore forgiveness as a process that releases revenge into God's hands while still keeping wise limits. If you're caregiving for an abusive parent, navigating trauma, or trying to make sense of faith and family caregiving, you'll leave with reflection questions and next-step clarity.Subscribe, share this with a caregiver who needs it, and leave a review so more families can find hope and help.

American soccer has a way of selling people the dream while hiding the machinery underneath. In this episode, we sit down with Kirk Kinsey to unpack what he calls “McSoccer” — the fake development pathways, the tournament-win marketing, the college-scholarship sales pitch, and the closed-system incentives that keep parents, players, and coaches trapped inside a […]

Some lies leave scars you can see. Jennifer Miller, a licensed professional counselor with fifteen years of clinical experience, now sits with the detransitioners. The young women coming out the other side of a cultural lie, carrying its permanent mark on their bodies and asking the questions no one prepared them for. What pulled them in? What woke them up? What does the wreckage actually look like once the affirmation stops? And how did an entire culture, an entire profession, march millions of children down this road while calling it care? Jennifer has been watching this story unfold for fifty years, first inside her own family, now inside her therapy office. She left the mental health system in 2020 and has been telling the truth ever since. This episode is about more than gender. It is about how minds get captured, how good people participate in harm, and what human vulnerability looks like when the institutions sworn to protect us become the ones doing the cutting.

In a world where many Bible colleges are closing their doors, Tallahassee Christian College and Training Center stands as a beacon of hope and a hub for spiritual equipment. Jackie Kinsey shares the journey of the school from its early days as the Tallahassee Bible Institute to its current role as a premier training ground for believers of all ages. Whether you are a Sunday school teacher, an aspiring pastor, or someone simply wanting to dive deeper into the Book of John, this discussion highlights the importance of being "rightly divided" in the Word. -- The school began 36 years ago from a series of meetings at a local Whataburger between founders Joanne Arnett and Darlene Heinrich. -- Since its inception, between 4,000 and 5,000 students have been impacted by the curriculum, with approximately 1,500 graduates entering various forms of ministry. -- The college offers a wide range of programs, including Associate, Bachelor, and Master degrees in Biblical Studies, Ministry and Leadership, and Christian Counseling. -- A key focus of the school is "Hermeneutics," the art of rightly dividing the Word of Truth to understand the context of who is speaking and who is being addressed. -- Pastor Jack King and Jackie Kinsey discuss the current "laborer shortage" in the church and the need for a new "Jesus Movement" to fill pulpits and ministry positions. Scriptures for Further Study -- 1 Corinthians 10:32 -- 2 Timothy 2:15 (referenced via "rightly dividing the word of truth") -- Matthew 9:37-38 (referenced via "laborers for the harvest field") This is episode 1273. ******* This is the radio program with the music removed.

Em 2026, quando Marilyn Monroe completaria 100 anos, a Cinemateca francesa apresenta uma exposição que revisita sua carreira, entre 1946 e 1962. Com figurinos, filmes e arquivos raros, a mostra Marilyn Monroe: 100 anos! conta como a atriz enfrentou contratos abusivos, censura e misoginia no auge de Hollywood. Morta em 5 de agosto de 1962, aos 36 anos, Marilyn permanece subestimada como intérprete, embora continue celebrada como mito absoluto da cultura do século 20. Na Cinemateca de Paris, principal instituição de preservação do cinema na França, a exposição “Marilyn Monroe, 100 anos” propõe um reencontro com uma figura tão conhecida quanto sistematicamente mal compreendida. Longe de repetir o culto fetichista que costuma cercar a atriz, a mostra parte de uma pergunta incômoda: que tipo de estrela hollywoodiana Marilyn foi, de fato, entre 1946 e 1962, no auge do sistema de estúdios dos Estados Unidos? “Posso ser inteligente quando isso importa, mas a maioria dos homens não gosta disso.” Dita em 1953 no filme Os Homens Preferem as Loiras, a frase escrita por Anita Loos e interpretada por Marilyn funciona como senha e síntese. Ela aponta para o paradoxo central de sua trajetória: celebrada como imagem absoluta de desejo, Marilyn continuou sendo tratada como intérprete menor, mesmo quando diretores e colegas reconheciam publicamente sua inteligência e disciplina. Alfred Hitchcock, por exemplo, resumiu a visão dominante ao afirmar que ela “carregava o sexo no rosto”. Henry Hathaway, em sentido oposto, enfatizava “a inteligência de uma atriz extraordinária, que trabalha muito e quer sempre fazer melhor”. Entre esses dois polos, erguia‑se uma carreira curta, filmada em Technicolor, promovida em telas panorâmicas e atravessada por contratos leoninos. No espaço expositivo, a exuberância visual dos anos 1950 se impõe. Materiais publicitários, figurinos, fotos assinadas por Eve Arnold, Richard Avedon e Andy Warhol compõem o retrato de uma indústria que fabricava glamour ao mesmo tempo em que restringia brutalmente a autonomia de suas estrelas. A curadora Florence Tissot explica que seu ponto de partida foi “mostrar qual estrela hollywoodiana Marilyn Monroe era, e o que isso significava na prática”. "No começo, eu confesso que fiquei bem insatisfeita, porque a gente se depara com uma quantidade enorme de análises que acabam sempre voltando para a biografia dela, interpretando – ou até exagerando – a leitura da vida pessoal. No fim, dá um pouco a sensação de que a gente fica girando em círculo. Então tem também essa questão: como se posicionar diante de todos esses relatos. E depois, outra dificuldade que eu senti foi conseguir acesso aos arquivos", afirmou. Estrela de marketing antes de ser atriz A exposição começa pelas imagens de uma jovem ainda chamada Norma Jean Baker, fotografada como pin‑up enquanto trabalhava em uma fábrica ligada à indústria aeronáutica durante a Segunda Guerra. O sorriso ingênuo, o enquadramento sugestivo e os objetos de conotação claramente fálica revelam, segundo Tissot, “toda a hipocrisia dos anos 50”, quando puritanismo e erotização coexistiam sem constrangimento. Os Estados Unidos viviam a ascensão da revista Playboy e a divulgação do Relatório Kinsey sobre sexualidade feminina. Mas, ao mesmo tempo, enfrentavam o rigor do Código Hays, um conjunto de regras morais que regulou o que podia ou não aparecer nos filmes produzidos por Hollywood durante mais de três décadas.  Oficialmente chamado de Motion Picture Production Code, ele entrou em vigor em 1930, mas só passou a ser aplicado com rigor a partir de 1934, quando os grandes estúdios concordaram em submeter seus filmes a uma censura prévia.   Leia tambémTemporada excepcional de leilões pode tornar retrato de Marilyn obra mais cara do século 20 Nesse contexto, Marilyn tornou‑se o rosto perfeito de uma sensualidade aceitável, desejável e, paradoxalmente, domesticada. Mas o estereótipo da “loira burra” embutia uma ideia profundamente misógina: a de que beleza, desejo e inteligência não poderiam coexistir em uma mulher. A própria Marilyn denunciou isso em uma rara entrevista à NBC, em 1955, ao afirmar que “as pessoas associam as loiras, verdadeiras ou falsas, à estupidez. Não sei por quê. É uma visão muito limitada”. Ainda assim, esse rótulo estruturou boa parte de seus papéis iniciais. Trabalho, estudo e um talento subestimado Ao contrário da imagem de improviso, Marilyn estudou intensamente, antes mesmo de ingressar no famoso Actor's Studio, em Nova York. "Na verdade, desde o começo ela já fazia aulas, por vontade própria. Estudou canto, dança, interpretação e mímica e pantomima", conta Florence Tissot. "Isso não é muito conhecido, mas é importante lembrar, sobretudo diante dessa imagem de atriz meio inconsequente que se criou em torno dela. Na prática, ela queria ser uma boa atriz – isso era fundamental para ela. Era uma pessoa muito determinada", aponta a curadora. Em filmes como Quando a Cidade Dorme e A Malvada, ambos de 1950, Marilyn aparece pouco, mas críticos como James Naremore identificam ali uma intérprete capaz de condensar medo, raiva, sedução e vulnerabilidade em poucos segundos. “Mesmo com cenas breves, ela empurra os limites dos personagens que lhe eram oferecidos”, observa Tissot. Essa dedicação raramente foi reconhecida. As histórias de bastidores, quase sempre narradas do ponto de vista dos diretores homens, consolidaram a imagem de uma atriz atrasada, indisciplinada e emocionalmente instável. Billy Wilder foi um dos que mais vocalizaram esse discurso, ecoado com especial força na crítica francesa do pós‑guerra. Contratos abusivos e uma batalha desigual Em 1953, no auge do sucesso de Os Homens Preferem as Loiras, Marilyn recebeu um salário significativamente menor que o de Jane Russell, sua parceira de cena. Os contratos de exclusividade de sete anos davam aos estúdios o poder de decidir se e quando uma atriz trabalharia. “Eram contratos abusivos”, afirma Tissot, “e Marilyn foi muito mal remunerada durante grande parte da carreira”. A partir de meados da década, ela passa a renegociar. Luta por salários mais altos, pelo direito de escolher papéis e diretores, e cria sua própria produtora. Conquista vitórias parciais, mas nunca alcança a autonomia de estrelas como Mae West. Mesmo em seu último projeto, Something's Got to Give, Marilyn ganhava menos que colegas homens e menos que Elizabeth Taylor. O preço dessa rebeldia foi alto. Segundo Tissot, a indústria responde com um backlash: a loira ingênua cede lugar à mulher neurótica, problemática, instável. Filmes como A Loira Explosiva ridicularizam justamente sua tentativa de se emancipar. Leia tambémLivro publica confissões e trechos de diários de Marilyn Monroe Entre a transgressão e o castigo A cena da saia branca levantada pelo metrô, em O Pecado Mora ao Lado, sintetiza esse conflito. Filmada em 1954, diante de milhares de curiosos, ela violava simbolicamente o Código Hays e gerou uma das imagens mais reproduzidas da história do cinema. Tissot optou por abrir a exposição não com o vestido da cena, mas com fotos da multidão, sublinhando o caráter espetacular e exibicionista da operação. A imagem eclipsou o próprio filme. “O material promocional da estrela passa a se sobrepor à obra”, observa a curadora. Marilyn era, ao mesmo tempo, instrumento de transgressão e alvo de punição moral. "No fundo, isso mostra toda a complexidade que envolve uma estrela como a Marilyn Monroe. Na França, algo parecido aconteceu com a Brigitte Bardot. É uma década cheia de contradições: ao mesmo tempo em que começa um movimento de emancipação das mulheres, existe um discurso constante que reduz essas figuras à sexualidade. E, no contexto norte-americano, isso se soma a um certo puritanismo. Então fica claro que a imagem da Marilyn Monroe está presa nessa espécie de armadilha", analisa Tissot. Nos anos finais, em filmes como Quanto Mais Quente Melhor e Os Desajustados, a vulnerabilidade passa ao primeiro plano. Sua morte, em 5 de agosto de 1962, aos 36 anos, encerra a carreira e inaugura outra coisa: a administração incessante de seu mito. Um mito sem arquivo A curta carreira e a morte precoce dificultaram o trabalho histórico, segundo a curadora. Os pertences de Marilyn foram leiloados e se dispersaram por coleções privadas. Contratos, cartas e objetos raramente estão acessíveis. “Isso explica por que as lendas continuam tão fortes”, diz Tissot. “Há excesso de discurso, mas pouco acesso aos documentos.” A exposição, ao contextualizar imagens, filmes e discursos, não busca absolver nem vitimizar, e, segundo a curadora, pretende recolocar Marilyn Monroe como sujeito histórico, atriz trabalhadora e figura central para entender como Hollywood fabricou suas estrelas – e como as descartou. A mostra fica em cartaz em Paris até 26 de julho de 2026.

Silvana, Eric and Tegan watch Stargate SG-1 Season 6 Episode 17 "Disclosure," a truly uninventive recap episode. However, a good jumping off point to talk about the culture and media of the early 2000s.  In this episode, The SGC invites leaders from various nations to disclose to them the Stargate Program. Senator Kinsey is there to try to convince them that the NID would be a better organization to oversee the program. Thor swoops in at the last minute to have a sassy one liner and to convince everyone that keeping control with the SGC is the right call afterall.  No need to confront any of the problems with the U.S. military overseeing such a program!

Guest: Terisa Kinsey Novick - Part 1Contact: tknovick@gmail.comIn this heartfelt and deeply reflective episode, Victoria sits down with Terisa Kinsey Novick, a master training consultant with more than 20 years of experience in adult learning and the implementation of training systems for major organisations.Terisa shares the philosophy that guides her life: “Let go and let God.” What may sound simple reveals itself as a powerful spiritual and emotional practice. She explains that true inner peace does not come from controlling circumstances but from turning inward, expanding perspective, and trusting something greater than ourselves.The conversation explores Terisa's personal journey through significant loss, including the death of her first love, her mother, and her brother, and most recently her husband. Rather than becoming defined by grief, she describes how these experiences reshaped her understanding of death. She now sees it as a transition rather than an ending.Victoria reflects on the noticeable peace in Terisa's words and asks how she navigates moments when grief feels overwhelming. Terisa shares that she learned to let emotions move through her instead of resisting them, and she describes loss as an “address change,” a shift in location rather than a disappearance.They also discuss Terisa's experience attending the Heal Your Life training in Banff and how that work supported her transformation and resilience during challenging seasons.This episode is a gentle yet powerful conversation about surrender, grief, faith, spiritual connection, and the strength that comes from inner alignment.

Hear the second edition of a new segment titled “40 Indiana guitar pioneers that every Hoosier should know.” Over the next year, we'll be sharing the music and history of Indiana guitarists who made notable contributions to music. Some of these musicians are world-famous; some you may not have heard of. This is not a ranked list, and it won't be presented in any particular order. On this edition, learn about the Gary, Indiana guitarist Donald Kinsey, who played with artists including Bob Marley, Albert King and Peter Tosh. Donald Kinsey was born May 12, 1953, in Gary. He was one of three sons of Lester “Big Daddy” Kinsey, a respected Chicago blues guitarist, singer, and harmonica player who migrated from Mississippi to Gary in the mid-20th century. Music was part of Donald's life from an early age. He began playing guitar at five years old, learning chords from his father and performing in church and at local gigs. By his early teens, he had earned the nickname “B.B. King Jr.” In 1972, Donald's professional career took a major leap when he was recruited to play with Albert King, one of the most influential blues guitarists of all time. Kinsey toured extensively with King, appearing at major festivals including Wattstax and the Montreux Jazz Festival. He also recorded several albums with King, including I Wanna Get Funky and Blues at Sunrise. This was a formative period that helped Kinsey refine his technique and stage presence while reaching audiences beyond the Midwest club circuit. In the mid-1970s, Kinsey left the Albert King band to join the psychedelic rock group White Lightnin'. The band's self-titled debut album was released by Island Records in 1975. Kinsey's connection to Island Records would prove significant. The label was co-founded in Jamaica by Chris Blackwell in 1959, and Blackwell introduced Kinsey to a rising young star on the label: Bob Marley. Kinsey's career soon took an unexpected turn toward reggae. From 1975 to 1976 he toured with Bob Marley and the Wailers, appearing on Marley's classic 1976 album Rastaman Vibration and numerous live recordings. Kinsey also worked extensively with Peter Tosh, contributing to several landmark albums including Legalize It, Equal Rights, Bush Doctor, and Mama Africa. He also recorded with Burning Spear, playing guitar on the albums Dry & Heavy and Marcus' Children. Kinsey was with Marley during one of the most harrowing moments in reggae history—the attempted assassination of Marley in Kingston in December 1976, when gunmen opened fire at Marley's home. After Marley's death in 1981, Kinsey recorded a tribute titled “Song for Bob.” In 1984, Kinsey reunited with his brothers Ralph and Kenneth and their father Lester to form The Kinsey Report, a band blending electric blues, rock, and roots music. The group recorded a series of albums beginning with Edge of the City in 1987 and became known for its powerful live performances, earning critical acclaim on the blues circuit and touring across the United States and internationally. Kinsey remained active into the 2020s, performing with both the Kinsey Report and the Wailers band. Donald Kinsey died February 6, 2024, in Merrillville at age 70, just weeks after the death of his older brother Ralph.

In the second edition of our new segment, “40 Indiana guitar pioneers every Hoosier should know,” learn about the Gary, Indiana, guitarist Donald Kinsey, who played with artists including Bob Marley, Albert King, and Peter Tosh.

What does science actually say about monogamy, desire, and long-term love? Evolutionary biologist Dr. Justin Garcia joins co-host Sue Marriott to deepen our understanding of the myths and realities of modern relationships. From monogamy to consensual non-monogamy, we explore how jealousy and trust function – not as flaws – but as deeply human signals shaped by biology and attachment. Dr. Garcia breaks down how relationships shift over time, especially as we age, and why sexual satisfaction isn't just about frequency – it's about novelty, meaning, and connection. We dive into the neuroscience of intimacy, including the roles of dopamine and oxytocin, and revisit the Kinsey scale to better understand the fluidity of sexual orientation. This conversation is a grounded, nuanced look at how passion evolves, and how couples can intentionally cultivate desire, curiosity, and emotional safety over the long haul. “Humans, the most intimate animal, will always live and die for love. Understanding why gives us the power to find and maintain the loves worth living for.” – Dr. Justin Garcia, a quote from The Intimate Animal Time Stamps for Why Long-Term Love Gets Complicated: A Scientific Approach with Dr. Justin Garcia (291) 00:57 Understanding social vs. sexual monogamy 04:32 The evolutionary perspective on relationships 08:26 Jealousy and relationship dynamics 20:25 Sexuality and aging: A new perspective 28:44 The power of eye gaze and oxytocin 30:30 Understanding aggression: Oxytocin and vasopressin dynamics 39:01 Exploring sexual diversity and the Kinsey scale About Our Guest – Dr. Justin Garcia Dr. Justin Garcia is an evolutionary biologist and international authority on the science of sex and relationships.

Dear Justin, should I do a PhD in sexology? And what does it mean about my life that I even ask this question? And what small baby-steps can I take to find the path forward without jumping head-first into doing it full-time? In this answer I talked about the different kinds of sexological approaches that exist: which I describe as being Royal Science or minor science (Kinsey and Masters and Johnson for example). Then I talk about different approaches one could take to doing sexology. Also I talk about how doing a PhD is a really focussed piece of work which might actually prevent you from doing the reading you enjoy. Lastly I give some ideas of being nerdy about sex that might be still be sexy and enjoyable without it having to lead to an outcome like a PhD.

Searching Nancy Guthrie's septic tank, revisiting the daughter's house with all kinds of flashes inside, and packages carried in and out. Let's get caught up on the weekend investigation of Nancy Guthrie, now entering the second week with #Dr #KennyKinsey who became famous during the #AlexMurdaugh #Murder #Trial. He's one of the most respected crime scene experts working today. In this conversation, we take a careful, (media released) evidence-based look at the #NancyGuthrie disappearance, focusing on what the blood evidence on the porch may, or may not tell us. We'll discuss how movement and control are interpreted at doorways and why crime scenes often extend far beyond the home itself. This isn't speculation, it's a look into how professionals think through uncertainty, evidence, and reasonable doubt. #NancyGuthrie #SavannahGuthrie #KennyKinsey #CrimeSceneAnalysis #BloodstainPatternAnalysis #ForensicEvidence #TrueCrime #ProfilingEvil #MissingPerson #CrimeSceneReconstruction #BehavioralAnalysis #AlecMurdaugh #ReasonableDoubt #ForensicScience #ColdCaseInvestigation #DigitalEvidence #Victimology ======================================== https://gamutpodcasts.com/show/gardensofevilinsidethezionsocietycult/ ======================================== 20% OFF Newspapers.com https://www.newspapers.com/go/podcast/?ref=profilingevil?xid=8877&utm_source=ProfilingEvilPodcast&utm_medium=podcst&utm_campaign=ProfilingEvil26 ======================================== Email your questions to: ProfilingEvil@gmail.com +=======================================

Struggling with a dead bedroom? Talking about sex can feel more vulnerable and more terrifying than almost any other conversation in relationships, but it's the key to bringing back the spark. In this episode, you'll learn how to talk about sex with your partner in ways that strengthen emotional intimacy, reignite sexual intimacy, deepen connection, and help couples communicate without shame, fear, or defensiveness. If you've ever wanted more closeness or desire in your relationship but felt frozen when it came time to talk about sex, you're not alone. For many couples, learning how to talk about sex with your partner feels risky—even when love is strong and the longing for connection is real. Fear of rejection, conflict, or hurting each other can keep these conversations stuck beneath the surface, quietly eroding intimacy over time. In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Tara, a Kinsey-certified sexologist and tenured professor of sexual and relational communication, to talk about how to communicate better about sex in ways that actually build safety, trust, and closeness. We explore why sexual conversations feel so charged, how cultural conditioning shapes desire and avoidance, and what helps couples rebuild trust sexually after long periods of distance, rejection, or disconnection. You'll hear practical guidance for starting these conversations gently, expanding what sexual intimacy can look like in long-term relationships, and taking responsibility for your own sexual self—without blame or shame. As you listen, I invite you to reflect on this question: What might become possible in your relationship if talking about sex felt safer, clearer, and more connecting than it does right now? Episode Breakdown 00:00 Why Talking About Sex Feels So Hard in Relationships 06:30 The Cost of Avoiding Conversations About Sex 15:00 How Sexual Communication Affects Intimacy and Connection 22:00 How to Talk About Sex Without Fear or Defensiveness 27:30 Understanding Your Sexual Self Before Communicating Needs 30:00 Redefining Sexual Intimacy Beyond Penetration 33:00 How to Ask for What You Want Sexually (Without Hurting Your Partner) 39:00 Navigating Sexual Differences in Long-Term Relationships 47:00 Rebuilding Sexual Trust and Attraction After Distance 52:40 The Core Skill: Knowing What You Want and Communicating It If this conversation stirred something for you—maybe a desire to feel closer, more confident, or more understood—you're invited to schedule a free consultation with me or a member of my team. It's a private, secure space where you can share what's been happening in your relationship and what you're hoping will feel different. You'll answer three quick questions so we can thoughtfully match you with the right counselor or coach for your needs. It only takes a couple of minutes, and it's designed to help you find support that fits, whether you're working on communication, rebuilding sexual trust, or finding your way back to connection. Consider this a gentle next step and an open door, if and when you're ready. xoxo, Dr. Lisa Marie Bobby Growing Self Special thanks to this month's sponsors of the Love, Happiness and Success Podcast: Shopify — The all-in-one platform for building and growing your online business.

On this week's all-new episode of the Digging Deep ATVMX Podcast, we're honored to welcome back one of the most dominant athletes our sport has ever seen — four-time WMX ATV Motocross National Champion Kinsey Osborn.Entering the 2025 season with three straight titles, back-to-back perfect seasons, and a 45-moto win streak, Kinsey faced the toughest challenge of her career. A disastrous opening round, unprecedented pressure, and the arrival of elite international competition turned the season into an all-time battle. What followed was a championship-worthy comeback, capped by a clutch four-moto win streak to secure yet another title against the strongest competition she had faced during her championship run.Then, in a moment that stunned the ATV racing world, Kinsey announced her retirement while standing on top — undefeated in WMX championships and just a college sophomore. In this powerful, reflective conversation, Kinsey opens up about the pressure, the comeback, the decision to walk away, and what life looks like beyond racing.This is a rare, honest discussion that could only happen now — and a fitting chapter-close for a GOAT-level career. We're incredibly grateful to Kinsey for her time, trust, and continued support of Digging Deep.As always, thank you for DIGGING DEEP with us. Enjoy!Send us a textSupport the show

Today I'm excited—not because of the topic, because it's a really difficult topic on sexuality and gender—but Dannah Gresh, I've just gotten to know her from a distance through podcasts and Revive Our Hearts and reading one of her books as well. But I do know that she has got a lot to say on this issue. So Dannah, thank you so much for being here. I really appreciate it.Dannah: Oh, I am so honored and delighted. Thank you for having me.Kerry: So before we get started, let me just pray for us and we'll let God guide this conversation.Father in Heaven, thank you. Thank you for today. Thank you for Zoom. Thank you that we can have a conversation and we can share it with many, many people. We thank you that you are sovereign, that you're the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, and we can rest in that no matter what's going on around us. And there's a lot of mess going on around us, but we can have our hope in Jesus.We just thank you for Jesus and the bond that we have in Him through the blood that He shed for us. I thank you for Dannah being here. I pray that the things that you want said will be spoken through this conversation, that you will be glorified, and that the ones that are listening, you will just really touch their hearts and show them what types of practical steps or spending more time in the Word—whatever you want them to do—and just to be led by the Holy Spirit. We pray all these things in Jesus' powerful name, amen.Dannah: Amen.About Pure Freedom Ministries and PartnershipKerry: Okay, for those of you that don't know, Dannah has Pure Freedom Ministries and this has two parts: True Girl and Born to Be Brave. By the time y'all listen to this, you probably already heard one of my kickoffs because we do one on Sunday night before the whole week and I'll explain it.But they are our organization that we are supporting through this Summit. So we'll take the profits that we make on anyone that upgrades from free to VIP. If you upgrade to VIP, 5% of our profits will go to this organization. And then some of our speakers—you've probably heard about the ones that have chosen to—if they decide to donate 5% of their commissions, then I will match that 5% as well.So hopefully, you know, that will be just a little way that y'all can support what Dannah and her team are doing. So I just want to make sure everyone understands that before we get going.Dannah: What a blessing. Thank you so much.Dannah's Story: From Teenager to Ministry LeaderKerry: Well, let's before we start this topic, can you just tell people a little bit about yourself?Dannah: Sure. Well, I love Jesus first and foremost, and He is the best part of everything about my life. I came to know Him when I was a really little girl through Child Evangelism Fellowship five-day clubs. I just love Child Evangelism Fellowship to this day because I remember that moment when I surrendered my heart and my life to Jesus. So precious.But fast forward—at the age of 15, I was a teacher for Child Evangelism Fellowship. I was teaching Sunday school in my church to three-year-olds, and I loved the Lord like crazy. But I was in a Christian dating relationship and was blindsided by sexual temptation.I just thought that was not possible in my life because I loved the Lord so much. And it became this great shame and this great heartache of my life until I was about 26. I just really understood that even though it had been so long since I'd experienced that sin and chosen that sin, I hadn't really received the redemption and the freedom that Christ died to give me.When I did, my life changed. And I had to get out my megaphone—my proverbial megaphone—and tell teenage girls. And then as I was doing that, ministry just kind of exploded.I was praying, "Lord, let me graduate to college girls and adult women." And the Lord said, "What about my little women? What about my 10-year-olds and what about my 9-year-olds and what about my 8-year-olds?"I was like, "Lord, that's really great. Somebody needs to do children's ministry, but what about me graduating from high school girls to the older women?" And He was persistent. The Lord just kept opening doors.Before we knew it, we really are one of the largest ministries that takes biblical truth to 8 to 12-year-old girls. And now we have boys—we just added them in the last few years—through live events, box subscriptions, Bible studies, online Bible studies, at-home Bible studies with mom. We want to put mom in the driver's seat. We believe that's what God's Word says—that mom and dad belong in the driver's seat of a child's moral development.Now we fast forward to this year. We live in a time and a day and age when the government and a lot of different political entities believe that parents aren't equipped to make moral decisions about their children. Well, we still believe they are.And now I understand why the Lord has put us in this critical position. One of the things we've done really well through the years is take whatever the difficult issues of the day are—when we started, that was AIDS—and we look at it through a biblical lens.Today, that biblical lens that we look through, we're looking at the issue mostly of gender and identity. And when you think about how do we talk to an 8-year-old about that biblically without robbing them of their innocence, and also just the depression and anxiety these kids are at the tip of the spear...Teens have long been at the tip of the spear, but the enemy has moved the line backward. And now it's those 8 to 12-year-olds that really are having to grapple with things that their little hearts and minds aren't ready for. But we know how to do that in a way that's safe and biblical and most importantly keeps mom and dad in the driver's seat.The Trends We're Seeing in Gender IdentityKerry: That is so good. And I know I'm on y'all's True Girl mailing list, and so they have things and I have downloaded a few things just to find out exactly what they are. I'm giving my daughter some of y'all's books as well. I think it's the Lies Young Girls Believe, something like that. I'm not quite sure what it was.But I do have to tell you, all of a sudden I have one more connection with you because I grew up with Child Evangelism Fellowship and I became a believer at a Good News Club. I started, went to their CEF training as a teenager, and then we did the five-day clubs in Houston. So I was like, oh wow, that's so interesting. Small world.Dannah: They are a fruitful ministry. Look at us—we're passing, we're the fruit, we're passing on fruit. We're the fruit of their fruit.Kerry: My parents, they're in their 70s and 80s, and a while back they would lead Good News Clubs in the public school for like five years. They're still going on with it and all. So I love it. It does work.So okay, so we are in a just a strange time. And if you had asked us 30 years ago, we'd be going, "No way, we wouldn't be dealing with these issues." So what kind of trends are you seeing right now when it comes to gender identity and sexuality?Dannah: Well, you know, I would say heterosexual is definitely not in style. And what we see is a lot of teens claiming to be pansexual, where they're just willing to erase anything that has a baseline of truth to it and embrace everything. Basically, is what pansexuality is.A lot of teens in terms of gender are saying they're non-binary. That's just what's in style right now. And you might say, "Well, but there really is a problem. There are some kids that definitely struggle with gender dysphoria."Absolutely, that's true. Historically, we've known for decades that children—a very, very small percentage of them—are born with things like Klinefelter syndrome, fragile X syndrome. These are syndromes like Down syndrome where there are chromosomal abnormalities in that child's body.And the parents and the physicians have to work together to decide, how are we going to raise this child? Most cases, they can take a blood test and they can determine this child is clearly male or clearly female. But we have some issues that we're going to have to deal with because of these syndromes.But in most cases, they can really figure out what's happening there. And so that's the good news. But I think it's an important thing for us that we have to be compassionate because for some people that you meet on the street that you're not quite sure—are they male or female?—that's not a choice. It was something that they were born with. That's very difficult and painful. So we have to be careful.But on the other end of the spectrum, what we're seeing right now is—well, let me explain it this way. In about the year 2011, there was a shift from transgenderism being predominantly a male problem to now, it is today predominantly female. You see more teenage females transitioning than males.So the intellectually honest sociologists will say, "What happened to make that really dramatic shift happen?"And I think probably the person that's been bravest about it is a woman named Abigail Shrier. She's a journalist, not a believer as far as I know, conservative though, and yet very intellectually honest. Some parents kept writing to her and saying, "We need somebody to research this."And she brought together some of the bravest sociologists, some of the bravest intellectually honest ones. And what they found was clusters of girls transitioning. So in other words, a school district or a school or a city was seeing a lot of girls transitioning, and there were pops of this all over the United States.Now if this were a more intellectually honest occurrence, you would have seen it happening more evenly over the culture. But that's not the case. What's happening is cluster contagion. And that's what we're calling it now, which basically is peer pressure causing girls to say, "I don't feel comfortable in my body."Now let me remind you, there aren't very many of us that felt super comfortable in our body in seventh grade. But we weren't having somebody sit there next to us and telling us that might be because you're not really a girl.So I guess what we're seeing is a lot of confusion. Majority of what we're seeing is mass confusion that we need to prepare our children for and that we need to speak into truthfully. But we can't forget the compassion because there's a sliver of people struggling right now where this really is a deeply painful thing and not something that they chose.Why This Topic Is Critical Right NowKerry: That is something. So I mean, to me it seems pretty obvious, but why do you think this topic is so important right now?Dannah: Well, it's—let me say, take that from two angles. One reason it's important is because your children are being lied to, and we need to speak truth into their hearts and into their minds. We have to put so much truth into them that there's not room for the world's lies.When they see or hear a counterfeit, they immediately know, "That's not what I learned from God's Word. That's not what I learned from my parents whom I trust to be true." And they come to you and they say, "Hey, I just heard this." And you help—might not know the answers, but you help them figure out.But here's why I think it's really important, and this is why it's been important since the beginning of time. In Genesis 1:26 and 27-28, in that chapter we see God saying that He's made us in His image. And then He could have listed almost anything about us that would have made us like Him—our language proficiency, our ability to compose sonnets, our creativity, the fact that we would figure out how to defy gravity and fly to the moon. All these things about us are so God-like. Our even our emotions—animals are emotive, but not to the degree that we are.And yet God says one thing: "In the image of God He created them, male and female He created them."Our maleness and our femaleness is a distinct part of representing the image of God on this lost world. That's why it matters more than anything. And that's what our children need to know more than anything.How Parents Can Communicate God's TruthKerry: That is so good. I mean, it really is. We need to—and I love what y'all do is always going back to the Bible, you know. And this is a Christian conference. There's plenty of things out there for parents, but we want to make sure we're always going back to the Bible.So what are some things that parents could do? Like you want them to—one of the things that I know I've heard you say many times, we need to speak truth to our soul, but first we have to teach our kids what the truth is. How can parents communicate God's truth in regards to gender and sexuality and identity?Dannah: Well, I obviously encourage them to get them in the Word and some of these key passages that talk about our bodies. And I basically have three key passages that I think our kids need to study about this. I write about them in It's Great to Be a Girl. My husband and one of his co-authors writes about them in It's Great to Be a Guy. That's for kids aged 8 to 12, somewhere in that range.First one is in the book of 1 Corinthians. It says that our bodies exist to glorify God. That the purpose of our body is to glorify God. You know, we get really sidetracked and we think our bodies are for us to feel good, for us to feel pleasure, for us to look good and be this just vision of beauty or handsomeness, whatever it is.Our bodies were created to glorify God. That's why they exist—to showcase Him, to give honor to Him. That's why we dress carefully and tastefully and modestly. That's why we use language that's becoming and careful. That's why we don't get into the dark.I'm always concerned when we get into really dark-looking countenance and clothings and styles because Jesus is light and He is love and He is joy, and we want our countenance to reflect that. But my body doesn't exist for Dannah. My body exists for God.Then the second thing is the one I just mentioned earlier: Genesis 1:26 and 27, that the purpose of my body—how I glorify God—is as a female or male image-bearer. Because glorifying Him—I like to say that the moon glorifies the sun, okay? The moon doesn't have any light of its own, but it reflects the light of the sun, and that's why we have a full moon. They're so beautiful.Well, in the same way, we have to look like God. That's what glorifying Him means. And Genesis 1:26-27 says we do that best in the defined roles, the binary roles of maleness and femaleness. So they matter. They're important.And then the other verse that I think is really important is in Romans 12:1 and 2. It says, "I beg you brothers, by the mercy of God, that you present your body as a living sacrifice."So when my body, which was created to glorify God, doesn't feel like glorifying God as a female image-bearer of God, it becomes a sacrifice to God because I choose to live sacrificially according to the purpose of my body as a female image-bearer.Now I don't know that those are the only passages that your children need to get into, but those are three of the big ones that they need to memorize, dissect, be familiar with, understand. And that's going to give them more than studying all the counterfeits. That's going to give them the fuel they need for the conversations that are going to come up in their lives at one point or another.Age-Appropriate Conversations About TruthKerry: That's so good. Because we don't know what's going to happen in 20 years, you know, and what things they're going to need to know.When you think about even these three passages or talking about truth at different ages, because you've talked about 8 to 12 and then we've got teenagers, would you approach them differently or do you have any suggestions about that?Dannah: Well, with teens, of course, I'm going to be a lot more forthright. Although more and more—we just had a mom communicate with us that her child is attending a private school, not a Christian school but a private school. And just this year, the daughter came home and said, "Hey, we have Teacher X teaching at our school." And I'm not going to say the name. And it's not Mr. X or Mrs. X, it's Teacher X.And of course this mom said, "Well, do you know if Teacher X is male or female?" And she kind of said, "Well, this is what I think, but that's probably—they're trying not to look that way." So there's obviously some gender confusion there.What was really interesting is that when they have a student teacher, this parent had previously gotten a letter that said, "This is the teacher, this is what you need to know about them, I want to introduce them to you, they'll be starting on this date, they'll be ending on this date." In this case, that didn't happen.So that child is in about fifth grade. So we're not—and I've heard in my own school district of kindergarteners who are being told, "You get to pick your pronoun in my class. Maybe you weren't allowed that opportunity at home, but in my class you get to choose what you are, who you are."And so more and more we are having to have more of a conversation that we want, especially if we've chosen for our children not to be homeschooled or not to be in a space where their teaching is governed by truth. And that's not you, but it may be your friends, and it may be someone you're conversing with or having coffee with, you know, needs to know—hey, some crazy stuff is happening in some of these schools.And they don't believe it until it hits them. And then that's how this mom was. She's like, "I heard about it in California and I heard about it in this state and that state, but my state?" Yes, your state.So I think it's really important that we let them drive the questions though. So at high school we maybe are being, you know, we're talking about transgenderism, we're talking about all the different language that is used—the LGBTQ+, non-binary, binary, pansexuality.Mom, dad, you got to do some vocabulary work on this one. You've got to know the words, and that's going to help build your credibility. If you have a child who has been exposed, if you don't know a word, just say, "I'm not really sure what pansexuality is. Let's look it up and learn together, and then we're going to go to God's Word and figure out what He says about it."But when you're under, I would say 12 years old, I would just stick to God's truth. And what you're going to find, and what we have found as we have taken moms and daughters through It's Great to Be a Girl online Bible study or It's Great to Be a Guy online Bible study, is that studying it in the Bible and having mom and dad sitting there talking with you about it brings up the questions.They'll say, "I heard that so-and-so down the street has two dads," or "I heard that this friend at church has a brother who's becoming a sister." And you have the opportunity then to talk to them about that stuff.But I really like to let them drive that rather than us introducing things. And there's such a fine line there. And what I want to say is we don't—we have to be very careful about being afraid of the topic of sex because God isn't. He's not afraid of the topic, and we don't need to be afraid of it.But there are developmental phases where our children are more ready for some of these things than others. And if you can delay some of these conversations until they are developmentally ready, I think that's wise.The Importance of Reclaiming Biblical SexualityKerry: I think that's really good. And I appreciate you saying that we need to talk to them about sexuality more than just what sex is or how do we have kids, that type of thing. Because I know I heard on one of y'all's podcasts, you know, if we don't reclaim the sexuality and what's going on, the world is going to take over, which is what it's doing. And the church really does need to understand it. And if moms and dads don't, they need to do some research and stuff.Dannah: Well, and Ephesians 5:31 and 32 says, "For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh." And then it's almost like the Apostle Paul has ADHD or something. Because it's like he changes the subject. He says, "I'm really talking about Christ and the church."And this verse probably more than any other in Scripture tells us that marriage is meant to be a picture of the love Christ has for His bride, the church. But you can see that taught from Genesis to Revelation. It's a very important picture in the body of Christ.And if we do not wake up to really protect and defend that picture, we're going to wake up one day to see the gospel completely marginalized—not just marriage, but the gospel.And I guess my question for all of us is: if sex and marriage really does represent the love of Christ, the gospel, how motivated is Satan to see that picture destroyed in our lives, in the lives of our children? We have to be vigilant. We have to be informed. And we have to be so full of grace for those moments when we mess up or our kids mess up.Navigating With Grace and CompassionKerry: Yeah. And I think you just said that—I was coughing—grace and patience. Because you're talking about having compassion for these people that are really dealing with issues. And I think sometimes the church gets so, "Oh my goodness, look at them, they have children that are homosexuals or whatever."And yet we—I mean, no, we don't tolerate—I mean there's a blend between tolerating, but we also need to show grace at times because the compassion of God is what draws people back. The kindness and stuff. Would you have anything to say about sort of where you draw the line? And not that we want to judge people, but we do want to come alongside.So we've got moms here that want to help with their kids, but then they may have people in their family or in their church or something. What are maybe some practical things that they could do to handle these situations?Dannah: Well, some practical things are teaching our kids grace. Teaching them a gracious response.Bob and I, my husband and I, discipled a young man for many years who is non-binary now. Young adult man. And we still will have lunch with him. He doesn't live locally, but when he's coming through, he still wants to visit with us and talk with us.I got a birthday text from him that said, "You're like my second mom," because we have blessed him with our love and our presence, which is genuine. It's not fake. We adore him. He is easy to talk to, intelligent. We had so many high hopes for how he would—and still do—influence people for Christ.But we do not—we accept, but we do not affirm. We accept, but we do not affirm.So he knows—one of the last big conversations we had about his journey into homosexuality and a non-binary lifestyle was very pointed where my husband said, "I believe you've been set apart, and I believe that you have different desires, and that you have to obey the Lord with Romans 12:1 and 2. You need to sacrifice your desires for the purpose of your body glorifying Christ."And it was a very pointed conversation. And we haven't talked about that since then, but he knows where we stand.So we're honest, you know. One of the things that's really a challenge right now is the question of pronouns, right? Do we use the pronouns or do we not use the pronouns?And with this individual, I avoid using pronouns because the pronouns he wants are "they" and "them." I will not do that because God's Word commands me not to lie, and it's not truthful. However, I'm not going to rub salt in a wound of all the struggles that he's walking through.So I do my best to navigate through just not using either his new name that he wants or the pronouns. He knows that's what I'm doing.I know another woman who—she did transition for nine years. She had her breasts cut off, she had hormones, she was bearded, she was talking like a guy, she lived as Jake for nine years. Her name was Laura.Her mom stayed on her knees, stayed in a prodigal prayer group. And when it came to the name—she wanted to be called Jake—her mom said, "I can't call you that, but I know it's going to offend you. Can I call you honey? I'll do that."And it was a compromise they made together. So you see, accepting but not affirming is a really important line we have to make.Because this is the question that Rosaria Butterfield asked in a recent book that she's written. I believe the title is Five Lies of Our Post-Christian Culture. But she says, "Is your church, is your home, is your family a safe place for someone to repent of their sin of homosexuality or gender—" I'm not going to call it confusion, but rebellion. Okay?Because gender confusion, I would say, is probably going back to some of those syndromes I'm talking about, right? You're going to feel some confusion when you're not quite sure how your body is showing up, right?But gender rebellion, I would say, is what my friend Laura went through. She knew she was a girl, but she wanted to stick it to her mom and stick it to God. And she did for nine years. And then the Lord got a hold of her heart.But partly, I think the Lord got a hold of her heart because her mom never accepted Jake, never accepted the lie, never used the pronouns. And yet she still loved and accepted the child.Kerry: Fine line.Dannah: So good.The Reality of Dealing With These IssuesKerry: Yeah, we've got to love. And I, for one, I mean, these aren't just teenagers. You know, I had friends whose kids have transitioned, and the parents, the mom and the dad don't even agree on the pronoun issue, you know. And that's a really hard thing.What I really like about what you just said is she communicated with her daughter and they talked about it instead of just doing this and then, you know, that child getting angry and then blocking them out of your life kind of thing. And so communication just seems to be vital as well, even if they're going down that path.Dannah: Yeah, so communication before and after is key. And it's not easy. It's hard. And there'll be tears on both sides and disagreements. But you want to walk through it in such a way that you maintain a place where they know what the truth is and they know where to come when they finally do understand what the truth is.Kerry: Yeah, I always tell—because I host a prodigal prayer group too—and the two things I'm always like, we can always love and we can always pray. You know, we cannot change them, but we can pray and we can never give up. You know, God's not giving up on us, so we shouldn't be giving up on our kids or other family.Dannah: Yeah. And you know, when it comes to praying, I find that people that I love that aren't walking with the Lord—they might be offended if I start asking them, "Who do you think Jesus is?" But they're never offended when I say, "How can I pray for you?"They might define it differently, but it keeps that door open of them knowing, "I care about your spirit. I care about your spiritual life. I care about you." They know that praying is important to me.And when I just say, "How can I pray for you?" their hearts often just flood open with things that they want prayer for.How Did We Get Here?Kerry: That's a really good point too. Okay, let's—how have we talked about all this? How do we get where we are today? Because, you know, like we said, 30 years ago we would have never thought—yeah, you know, there was homosexuality back then, but that was pretty much it. How do we get here?Dannah: Oh, I think that it's how we got here is, you know, we were an Augustinian worldview. The United States of America had this worldview that was predominantly established by Augustine, St. Augustine of Hippo. He believed that love was the highest good in humanity and that that love should be reflective of the truth of the Bible.And that really was the worldview of our culture. And that meant that there was one man and one woman marriage.And then when it really started to break down, honestly, was Freud, who felt that the highest good was sex. He thought that that was the highest need in a human body. And so the conversation started to change as Freud, who did bring us some decent diagnostic tools in terms of understanding and being more aware of our emotions and our mental health—but psychology doesn't do anything, really, if you look at the stats of recovery from psychological methods. Hardly anything outside of Jesus.I mean, single-digit recovery. In my mind, if I'm having some mental health problems, I don't want to go to a place that can give me a single-digit percentage chance of getting better.But then enter Alfred Kinsey. Alfred Kinsey came into the scene, and he was a very unwell man emotionally and mentally. And so he was really excited about the things that Freud taught and believed that he could prove that not only was his theory correct—that our highest need was sex—but that most of the sexual things that these prudish Americans thought were, quote-unquote, sinful were actually very normal behavior. Things like homosexuality and even pedophilia.And he said, "I'm going to prove that those are okay." So he did the Human Sexuality Volume 1 and Volume 2 reports. And his research was really horrific. He hired pedophiles who had been jailed for pedophilia to conduct experiments on children.And it was really child sexual abuse that was recorded in those volumes. But nobody talked about that. Nobody said who did the research and how did you get it done. At that time, it just became the playbook for the sexual revolution of the '60s.But they said, "Look, look, we do want sex. We do need sex." And then the sexual revolution—during that time, a virgin in college named Hugh Hefner read those volumes that Kinsey wrote and said—and this is a quote—"I'm going to be Kinsey's pamphleteer."And as you know, then he went on to create his pamphlet, which was Playboy, normalizing objectifying women. I'm not going to call it anything other than what it is.And so it was this—it was a lie we all wanted to believe. Not me, not you, but the culture wanted to believe because it justified their sin and their desires instead of controlling them. They could justify those sins and desires.And I think when we had about a 30-year climb to making gay marriage legal, but that was kind of a floodgate moment. You know, I feel like from the night that the White House was covered in rainbow colors until today, it's just been a floodgate of Sodom and Gomorrah-esque sin.And whereas it was this slow, steady climb for decades, now it's just a playground.Signs of Hope and BacklashDannah: Now, I am thankful that we're seeing some—I guess what I would call backlash against some of this. In Canada, this year—last year, rather—we saw the first case where a patient who underwent transgender gender reassignment surgery is suing the physician for what happened to her body.Because she said, "I came to you with a mental health problem, and when I was very mentally unwell, you told me the solution was to cut up my body." And she's suing that doctor.Tavistock, which is a gender assignment clinic in the UK, has been shut down because so many of the doctors and nurses are saying, "You only saw these patients two or three times before you let them self-diagnose that they were gender-confused and began treating them." And the doctors and nurses said, "That's not okay. We didn't adequately find out if they really did have gender dysphoria. We're just letting them self-assign."And that's still happening in the United States. But because Canada and the UK are ahead of us, I'm encouraged that we're going to start to see backlash very soon.So don't stop using the correct pronouns. Don't stop calling girls "she" and "her," and don't stop calling boys "him" and "his." Like, we are not crazy. We just feel crazy because the conversation happening in our culture is a little mad.But we are going to start to see a backlash in the next five to 10 years.Kerry: It sounds depressing, but it is encouraging.Dannah: And our hope is in Jesus, who we know can—always, just like I didn't think the education system could ever get fixed, and then COVID hit. And I was like, "Oh my goodness, look, God can do something when it looks like everything's falling apart."He can do the same thing with the gender and sexuality issues. And—excuse me—and even our hope isn't even in this world. I just have to say that. Like, more and more, as it gets crazier and crazier, it makes me hungrier for heaven and the new heaven and earth that we will know after Jesus' return.And for anybody, you know, who maybe you're listening to this and you're the one that cut up your body, you allowed that to happen—you know, when Jesus returns, the new heaven and the new earth, He's going to perfect you and receive you as He created you and fix everything that this world can't fix. And there is such hope in that.Kerry: That is so good. Thank you so much. And yes, He can. And He redeems ashes to beauty all the time. So amen.So I know y'all have some resources that I think would be helpful. Could you share a little bit about that?Resources to Help FamiliesDannah: Sure. Well, I mentioned It's Great to Be a Girl and It's Great to Be a Guy. Those are two books that we take parents and kids through an online study on, but you could do it at home. You can do it as part of a homeschool curriculum.Another book that I have is Lies Girls Believe and A Mom's Guide to Lies Girls Believe. Those go together because I think this extends beyond gender. It's a battle for truth.And the interesting thing about truth is that we know Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life." He was truth. So this whole conversation is an assault on Him.And so that book, and Lies Young Women Believe, introduced teen girls and tween girls to really studying: What is truth? What does it mean? And how do I figure out when I'm believing a lie? And what God's Word says about it, and what is true?So I would say those are really important books. We're working on Lies Young Men Believe, but we also—my friend Aaron Davis just wrote Lies Boys Believe. So good tools.We've had lots of friends tell us they've used them as homeschool curriculum. And I would love to see you explore them. They are great. They really are.Kerry: I have—well, I've done Lies Women Believe. And then I will say, too, for those of you—this probably doesn't pertain to a lot of you—but they have them in Spanish. I used to work in El Salvador and go down there once a month and work with a school down there. And we started with Lies Women Believe, but they had a teen girl Bible study, so then they did the Lies Young Women Believe.I don't know if they've done the girl, but when I was looking at your site, I was like, "Oh, they have Spanish books too." So if y'all are in another country, just know that there are resources for you there as well.Dannah: So wonderful.Closing EncouragementKerry: Well, as we close, is there anything you would like to say just in closing?Dannah: Just I think it's so important right now that we are just so deeply in love with Jesus. It's one thing to know all these things in our head, right? But until it gets here...The reason we have prodigals prodigalizing and the reason we have deconstructors deconstructing is because there was a lot here, but we didn't quite maybe get it here. And so what I'm learning is that I can't push it here in the kids I'm teaching, but I can do what I need to do to sit at the feet of Jesus and minister to Him in worship, in prayer, and opening the Word.I don't want to just know the facts of what I read in my Bible this morning. I want to know that I had an encounter with Jesus.So my prayer for you is not just that you would know the facts about all these hard conversations that we're having to have right now, but that more than anything else, you would be so in love with Jesus that your heart beats to reflect His image.And so I pray that for you, and I pray that for your children too.Kerry: Oh, thank you so much. I really appreciate it. Thanks for just taking a little time out of your day to be with us. I really appreciate it.Dannah: Oh, it was so good to be here, Kerry. Thank you. God bless you. I pray that you're so blessed by this conference.Kerry: Very good. Well, I am Kerry Beck with Life Skills Leadership Summit. We'll talk to you next time.

Cody, Vante and Kinsey discuss life as new fathers. The hosts question the mental stability/suitability of BBL nurses and single teachers

Ken Carman, Anthony Lima, and producer Mitch Spinell discuss and debate Indian Valley High School running back Grady Kinsey's win of the 2025 Ohio Mr. Football award.

Brian Kinsey has spent over 50 years guiding people toward a deeper connection with God. As a pastor, life coach, and author, he brings clarity and structure to spiritual growth through daily devotion. In his book Mercy Moments: 40 Days to Rekindle Your Passion for God, he introduces a simple daily plan called the “Rule of Five,” built around reading, praying, writing, speaking, and acting on God's Word. He shows how small, consistent steps transform lives by helping believers experience God's mercy and discover their purpose.In this episode of Marketer of the Day, Brian shares how daily discipline leads to lasting transformation. He explains why 40 days is the ideal time to build a spiritual habit and how mercy, not perfection, sustains faith. Drawing from his decades in ministry and mentorship, Brian encourages listeners to move beyond inspiration into practical action—helping others, showing mercy, and focusing on the future rather than the past. Quotes: “You are one prophetic word away from your breakthrough and deliverance.” “If you'll meet God every day, He will show you how to live the life you were meant to live.” “Passion fades when life hits hard, but mercy rekindles the fire.” “Your identity is not your past. Your identity is your future.” Resources: Visit Brian Kinsey's Website Get "Mercy Moments: 40 Days to Rekindle Your Passion for God" on Amazon Connect with Brian Kinsey on Facebook Connect with Brian Kinsey on LinkedIn
