# 704 Scholar Daniel Gallagher: "A Coherent Response to Gender Ideology"

Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”Start with this unsettling claim: You weren't born in the wrong body—you were born in the wrong culture. From there we dig into why so many young people feel disoriented, how institutions amplify that confusion, and what it takes to rebuild a sane, humane vision of the human person. Our guest, Daniel Gallagher of Ralston College, brings a rare mix of philosophical clarity, pastoral sensitivity, and classroom experience to a debate that often devolves into slogans.We map the core of gender ideology—the move to treat sex as secondary—and contrast it with a Christian anthropology that insists the body reveals the person. We confront the cultural pressures on kids: pornography in schools, policies that erode innocence, and a vocabulary—like “gender dysphoria”—that can be stretched to fit activism more than care. A recent New York verdict for a detransitioner underscores the stakes and the need for honest medicine, founded on the truth and do no harm!! Here is the link to Bishop Thomas' letter: https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/toledodiocese/redactor/BISHOP-THOMAS-RESPONSE-ON-GENDER-2025-FINAL2.pdfHere are some personal links for Daniel Gallagher! Professional webpage: https://www.ralston.ac/people/daniel-gallagherEmail: ralstoncollege@ralston.acMedium profile: https://medium.com/@frdbg70Support the show

In this episode of Hidden Wisdom, Meghan sits down with Nelson Whiting—bestselling author of Your Problem Isn't Pornography, certified clinical hypnotherapist, and founder of No Limits Hypnotherapy—for a grounded, expansive conversation about hypnotherapy as a form of deep repentance: getting beneath behavior to the belief systems that drive shame cycles, anxiety, compulsions, and spiritual disconnection.Nelson explains how real change happens when the conscious and subconscious mind come into agreement, why “time heals” is often a myth, and how prayer, meditation, and clinical hypnosis can help quiet survival mode, restore inner safety, and create rapid transformation through new perspective and new choices. They explore the spiritual implications of inner work, the role of agency, and why healing often requires moving from self-criticism into self-love—so you can reconnect with God, truth, and your highest identity.You'll also hear discussion on spiritual discernment (including “false spirits”), the balance of masculine and feminine within healing, and a powerful closing reflection on being “born again” as a spiritual rebirth—held in what Meghan calls the cosmic womb.Learn more about Nelson: NoLimitsHypnotherapy.com (sessions + resources)0:00 Meet Nelson Whiting + what this episode covers1:50 Nelson's story: seminary teaching → illness → calling to hypnotherapy4:00 Early hypnosis experience + the power of the mind6:05 Training with Dennis Parker: “gospel foundation” + adversarial protocols9:04 Faith as decision-making; bringing subconscious online12:21 “Your Problem Isn't Pornography”: why behavior isn't the root13:22 How lust patterns form: imagination → memory → emotion → action17:41 Why common “solutions” are slow (support groups, blockers, confession)20:49 Repentance as inner work: thoughts → emotions → beliefs22:37 Repentance = learning; freedom to get it wrong (baseball study)27:54 Prayer as therapy: “be still and know” + intention behind stillness30:55 Survival mode, the amygdala, and rapid change through neuroplasticity32:01 Synaptic pruning: creating “space” between you and temptation36:19 Spiritual impact: self-criticism, energy depletion, separation from God41:12 Anxiety/depression as thought-patterns; perspective changes everything45:38 Hypnotherapy vs guided meditation (why customization matters)52:24 Nonlinear change: “you can jump to the new self”54:56 Agency: why “God take it away” can keep people powerless57:35 Masculine/feminine balance Hidden Wisdom initiates truth-seekers into the Mysteries, guiding listeners toward a lived experience of the Divine that awakens and transforms faith—without dismantling family or community.

Now, with artificial intelligence capable of generating hyper-realistic sexual content, AI girlfriends, and emotionally responsive digital companions, the stakes have never been higher.   This episode explores: Why AI porn is fundamentally more dangerous than traditional porn   How deepfakes and AI-generated models are already flooding the internet   Why loneliness and isolation make men uniquely vulnerable to artificial intimacy   How technology is being designed to hijack attention, desire, and identity   Why filters and willpower won't be enough in the future   And how brotherhood, discipline, structure, and identity transformation are the real solution   This isn't a fear-based episode. It's a wake-up call.   Because the future will reward disciplined men — and destroy passive ones.   What You'll Learn In This Episode Why pornography consistently leads the adoption of new technology   How AI porn differs psychologically from traditional porn   The rise of deepfake porn and AI-generated sexual content   How AI companions and "digital girlfriends" are replacing real connection   Why loneliness is the real driver behind compulsive sexual behavior   Why identity transformation is more powerful than willpower   How brotherhood and accountability rewire the brain   Why The Rebuilt Man framework is designed for the world men are walking into   How to begin your journey with the free 7-Day Porn Reset

Dr. Klein explains how chronic overstimulation affects the developing brain, why behavioral addictions like screens and gaming mirror substance addiction neurologically, and why “moderation” is often far more difficult than it sounds.Together, Mandee and Dr. Klein explore:What true brain health looks like from a medical perspectiveHow dopamine and reward pathways are impacted by constant stimulationWhy children and teens are especially vulnerable to addictionThe warning signs families shouldn't ignore—sleep disruption, emotional dysregulation, rising anxiety, and loss of interest in real lifeWhy this is not a failure of willpower or parenting—but a brain-based issueMost importantly, this episode offers hope. Dr. Klein shares how the brain can heal, what actually restores healthy regulation, and simple, practical steps families can take right now to reduce stimulation and support resilience, connection, and emotional well-being.If you're concerned about your child's screen use—or simply want to protect their brain in a hyper-stimulating culture—this conversation will equip you with clarity, confidence, and encouragement.

In this powerful and honest message, Pastor Aaron Pennington, Lead Pastor of Trace Church in Colorado Springs, addresses one of the most pervasive and destructive struggles facing Christians today. Pornography and sexual sin are not just private battles. They are poisons that weaken the soul, damage relationships, and pull us away from the transformed life Jesus offers.As part of the Uprooted sermon series, Pastor Aaron calls us to stop managing sin and start uprooting it. With truth, grace, Scripture, and practical wisdom, this sermon confronts shame, exposes lies, and points toward real freedom found in Christ.This message is for anyone who feels stuck in cycles of temptation, guilt, secrecy, or spiritual numbness. Whether you are struggling personally or seeking clarity on how faith speaks into modern challenges, this teaching offers hope, conviction, and a clear path forward.Key themes in this sermon:• Why pornography promises pleasure but produces slavery• The spiritual and neurological impact of sexual sin• Why silence allows strongholds to grow• How Jesus offers freedom, healing, and renewal• What it means to uproot sin instead of excusing itAt Trace Church, we believe in truth and grace together. No condemnation, but no compromise. Freedom is possible, and transformation is available through Jesus.Join us in Colorado Springs or watch online as we continue the Uprooted series and ask the honest question:What needs to be uprooted from your life so you can live fully free in Christ?Service Times at Trace Church:8:15a | 10:00a | 11:45a | 5:00p4330 Mark Dabling Blvd, Colorado Springs, COSubscribe for more sermons, sermon clips, and teaching from Pastor Aaron Pennington and Trace Church.

It is our honor and privilege to have Charles on the podcast with us today.  Many of you have maybe already spoken to Charles. He serves as one of our Clarity Advisors here at Delight Your Marriage and has done an incredible job of listening to your stories and giving you next steps, but most importantly, giving you hope. What you might not know about Charles is that he spent many years as a very successful businessman. I mean, he was (and is!) a force! And that's what people saw on the outside: 40 years in business, two homes, active in ministry, a wife of 3o years, two grown children. Everything looked perfect. But it wasn't the full picture. "On Paper, We Had Everything… But We Were Just Roommates" The full picture was that Charles was in pain.  His marriage was suffering. He felt like they had become roommates and the intimacy and connection wasn't there. His daughter, after watching her parents fight yet again, brought up to him that "all you and mom do is fight". She didn't feel safe and their relationship was strained, so much so that she even mentioned she would prefer he not be the one to solely walk her down the aisle when the day came. There was pain, true pain.  That moment with his daughter became a turning point.  He cried out to God. And God answered. Finding the Delight Your Marriage Podcast Charles found the Delight Your Marriage podcast—and after only two episodes, he booked a Clarity Call and jumped in. What followed wasn't easy. It required humility. Repentance. Unlearning cultural "norms" that were never biblical to begin with. But what he discovered was sobering and freeing all at once: Being a provider is not the same as being present Strength without gentleness hardens the heart Leadership without humility blocks intimacy—with your spouse and with God And slowly—steadily—everything began to change. When a Daughter Finally Feels Safe One of the most profound transformations wasn't just in Charles' marriage—it was in his relationship with his daughter. Years earlier, she had told him, "Why can't you be like my friend's dad?" Instead of defending himself, Charles did something radically different. He listened. He apologized and owned the pain he had caused. And he stayed emotionally present instead of shutting down, like he had done in the past. That conversation marked the beginning of healing. Fast forward to this past Christmas, two years after starting this program, his daughter handed him a card. Inside, she wrote: "Every day you bless me so abundantly with peace and security of knowing you have me… I hope my future husband is even half of what you are to me." That card became the most valuable gift Charles has ever received, and he saw, even more, how the changes he had made changed the trajectory of his family. A Marriage Built on The Rock Charles often says something that shocks people: "I would give it all away for a shack on a rock if it meant having what we have now." Why? Because before, his marriage was built on cardboard and duct tape, as he says. Cultural assumptions, pride, and survival mode. Now, it's built on the Rock. Biblical wisdom. Daily repentance. Practical tools. Accountability. Peace. Life Now as a Clarity Advisor Charles' story doesn't end with his own marriage. Today, he serves as a Clarity Advisor, walking alongside other men and women who feel stuck, hopeless, or unsure where to begin. He's seen: Wives move back into homes after separation Pornography addictions broken Years-long intimacy restored Homes transformed by peace And now, pastors are bringing Delight Your Marriage Academy into their churches—because the need is everywhere, including globally. Final Encouragement Now, two years later, Charles' marriage is completely transformed, his relationship with his daughter is completely transformed, and he, himself, is completely transformed. God has truly turned mourning into dancing. This is not a one-off event. This is the God we serve–who heals marriages and changes lives, who heals hearts and minds, who redeems families and generations. He cares. He cares deeply about Charles and answered his cry.  And He cares about you. If you are waiting for an answer from God, maybe this is the answer. Maybe calling and taking that next step is the answer. We are rooting for you and we love you. God bless you!

Email us at podcast@pursueGOD.org.Donate Now--Talking with Teens About Sexuality: Discipling Kids in a Confusing WorldTeens today are growing up in a world flooded with messages about identity, intimacy, and sexuality. From social media feeds and streaming shows to school hallways and group chats, culture is constantly catechizing them—often long before parents or mentors realize it. That leaves adults with a choice: avoid the conversation out of fear or discomfort, or step into it with honesty, compassion, and biblical truth.In Talking with Teens about Sexuality, counselor Beth Robinson and Latayne C. Scott offer a much-needed roadmap for navigating one of the most intimidating areas of discipleship. Rather than promoting fear-based rules or one-time lectures, the authors equip parents and mentors to engage in thoughtful, ongoing conversations about sex, identity, relationships, boundaries, pornography, dating, gender, and online influences.A key insight of the book is this: teens aren't just battling hormones—they're battling an entire culture that is shaping their beliefs every single day. Algorithms are discipling them. Influencers are normalizing behaviors. Entertainment is redefining identity and intimacy. If Christian adults remain silent or reactive, they shouldn't be surprised when culture becomes the loudest voice in a teen's life.Robinson and Scott insist that intentionality is essential. Parents don't need to have all the answers, but they do need to be present, informed, and emotionally available. Teens are far more likely to listen when they feel understood rather than lectured. That's why the book repeatedly emphasizes listening before teaching, empathy before correction, and relationship before instruction.Another strength of the book is how it reframes God's design for sexuality. Instead of presenting biblical boundaries as arbitrary rules meant to limit freedom, Robinson and Scott show how Scripture presents them as gifts meant to protect dignity, foster trust, and lead to wholeness. Teens are desperate for a vision of sexuality that offers hope rather than shame—and the Bible provides exactly that.The authors are also realistic. They acknowledge that parents cannot control everything their teens encounter. Pornography, sexualized content, and identity-driven messaging are nearly unavoidable in today's digital world. But while parents can't control the culture, they can guide their teens through it. They can create homes where hard questions are welcomed, mistakes are met with grace, and truth is spoken clearly and lovingly.Ultimately, Talking with Teens about Sexuality is not just a parenting manual—it's a discipleship guide. It reminds us that shaping a teen's view of sexuality is inseparable from shaping...

One slogan that captures the spirit of the age is “My body, my choice.” The idea that our body belongs to us and we can with it as we please is the driving force behind the abortion movement, the LGBTQ+ movement, and physician assisted suicide. But this is not an idea that began in the sexual revolution of the 1960s. This idea is as old as sin itself, and Paul addresses it in his letter to the church at Corinth. In this sermon, pastor Mitch helps us see that sexual sin is inconsistent with God's design for the body and that the body is for the Lord. As Paul puts it, "you were bought with a price. So, glorify God in your body" (1 Cor. 6:20). The Christian life is a life of obedience carried out in and with a body created in God's image. Therefore, what we do with our bodies matters

The guys explain why pornography and sexual temptation rarely begin with desire alone, but with idleness, boredom, and abandoning responsibility—long before the “rooftop moment.” Al explains David's repentance in Psalm 51 as both a warning and a hope, reminding listeners that while sexual sin carries real consequences, God's covenant faithfulness still offers a path back.

SWM — Sex as Worship: Pornography, Erotica and AI Companions. Check out the blog post here for more details and links. Pornography and erotica have become ubiquitous and socially normalized, and AI “companions” are increasingly marketed as hyper-sexual substitutes. These offer the appeal of intimacy without risk—no rejection, responsibility or vulnerability—yet they train desire away from real people and covenant relationships. God designed intimacy for embodied, vulnerable union within marriage (Genesis 2:24–25; “to know” as in Genesis 4:1). In the “Sex as Worship” framework, aligning with God's design is worship; deviations declare that we know better. Scripture shows God's insistence on real relationships, not images or illusions (Exodus 20:4–6). Marriage pictures Christ and His church (Ephesians 5:31–32), and the incarnation underscores embodied presence (John 1:14). Substitutes like porn, erotica and AI reject that design (Romans 1:25). Practically, these fantasies retrain desire through novelty-driven dopamine, dulling normal arousal and escalating content. They reduce relationship satisfaction, weaken empathy, and increase objectification by orienting desire around control, not mutual love. They soothe loneliness without healing it, and intensify conflict avoidance—eroding skills vital to intimacy. Common rationalizations fall short: “It's better than cheating,” “It's just a character,” “It helps me cope,” “My spouse doesn't meet my needs,” “Everyone does it,” “You're sex-negative,” or “I can separate fantasy from reality.” In reality, formation happens; what captures your brain shapes your life. Relief isn't healing, and avoidance entrenches wounds. If you've been using these, stop and seek accountability. Share with your spouse if possible, involve a pastor/elder or coach, and retrain desire toward your spouse. Neuroplasticity means change is possible; meditate on what is true, noble, pure and lovely (Philippians 4:8). Healing aims at presence, covenant, and embodied love. You were made for more than illusion. Fantasy promises intimacy without pain; only reality delivers intimacy with meaning. God's design is harder and riskier—but far more satisfying.
