Text us your questions!Matthew Vines returns to discuss how the revised edition of his book addresses critiques from prominent theologians, the distinction between affirming theology and queer theology, and the possibility of affirming, orthodox Christianity.Matthew unpacks the scholarly consensus that modern sexual orientation concepts simply didn't exist in biblical times—a fact many prominent theologians like NT Wright dismiss without substantial engagement. This historical disconnect creates profound implications for how we interpret biblical passages addressing same-sex relationships.The discussion takes an interesting turn when Matthew articulates a strong critique of queer theology, distinguishing it from his own affirming theological stance. He argues that queer theory's categorical opposition to all normative structures actually harms LGBTQ+ acceptance by creating an antagonistic "us versus them" narrative rather than one of shared values and inclusion.We also explore Christian sexual ethics more broadly, with Matthew making the compelling case that monogamy and covenant faithfulness remain valuable principles with profound theological significance. He explains how Christianity's sexual ethic was actually liberating in the ancient world, especially for women and enslaved people who had previously been treated as property without sexual agency.The conversation concludes with Matthew sharing the mission of The Reformation Project—his organization dedicated to equipping Christians to advocate for LGBTQ+ inclusion while maintaining orthodox Christian beliefs. By modeling how affirmation and biblical commitment can coexist, they're challenging the false narrative that accepting LGBTQ+ people necessarily leads to theological liberalism.Topics covered in this episode include:• How ancient and modern understandings of sexuality are fundamentally different, with sexual orientation being a modern concept• The two main schools of thought in sexuality studies that emerged in the 1970s: social constructionism (Foucault) and essentialism (Boswell)• NT Wright and Preston Sprinkle's claims about ancient sexuality• Matthew's response to criticisms of his interpretation of Matthew 7 regarding "good and bad fruit"• The role of Christian sexual ethics in liberating vulnerable populations by restricting sexual activity to marriage• How queer theology differs from affirming theology in its rejection of all norms as inherently oppressive=====Want to support us?The best way is to subscribe to our Patreon.

In the first of our series answering the questions our listeners have submitted, we're thinking about experiencing same-sex attraction. How do we handle sexual temptation?

This episode is a recording of the session titled "Transgender People and the Church" at the recent Exiles in Babylon conference in Minneapolis. In this session, I give a short theological overview of Transgender identities and Mark Yarhouse gives a psychological perspective. And then, we had three people share their testimonies: Remi Rathjen (a Christian who experiences Gender Dysphoria and who hasn't transitioned), Julia Mallott (a transitioned transwoman who does not identify as a Christian), and Chloe Cole (a Christian who transitioned at an early age and then detransitoned).

What if celibate people are really just repressing their sexuality?

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

In this episode of Calibrate Conversations, Brady analyzes a recent discussion between theologians Sean McDowell and Preston Sprinkle regarding Side B Theology and the concept of gay identity within Christianity. Brady provides in-depth commentary on the theological implications, concerns, and the broader cultural impact of Side B theology.Key TakeawaysWords Matter – The term gay Christian carries theological and cultural implications that contradict biblical teaching.Sanctification is Ongoing – Christians are called to transformation, not to embrace sinful desires as permanent.The Church Must Be Clear – Ambiguity in language and identity creates confusion both inside and outside the church.Love & Truth Go Hand in Hand – Christians should show love and grace but remain firm in biblical truth.Join us weekly as we strive help people embrace God's standard for sexuality! Other ways to listen:https://linktr.ee/calibrateconversations#BiblicalSexuality #SideBTheology #ChristianIdentity

It's hard to fathom, but in the United States Reformed Christians make up a very small percentage of protestant congregations and congregants. That means that publishing houses that are much bigger than Reformation Heritage books and personalities with a bigger reach than R.C. Sproul exert significant influence over a much broader swath of American evangelicals than small, reformed outfits. One such influential publisher is Zondervan publishers, a media company and printer founded almost a hundred years ago that is the publisher of the popular NIV Bible translation, which has sold over 450 million copies. Zondervan brings in over $100 million annually.  Today, Zondervan is publishing their new “Upside-Down Kingdom Bible”. It is edited by none other than Preston Sprinkle, who is an author and speaker that has said in the past that “The church will look more like Jesus if it has more trans people in it, not fewer.” Packed full on contributions from Michael Bird, Jamar Tisby, Francis Chan, and others, this one is sure to leave off your wish list.

In 1 Corinthians 5-7, Paul deals with a variety of situations that call for a healthy understanding of Christian sexual ethics. The heart of his response can be summarized as “honor God with your bodies.” How can Paul's response to Corinth speak to our contemporary moment?

This episode is a talk I gave at the Center for Pastor Theologians annual conference held in Oak Park, IL, in September 2024. In this talk, I try to unpack what the Bible says about a Christian political identity by looking at the Scriptural themes of exile and Babylon. The talk was received fairly well, espeically by the Anabaptists in the back, who were hootin' and hollerin'. Others had some really thoughtful questions and pushback.  -- If you've enjoyed this content, please subscribe to my channel!

Host Doug Stuart delves into the fascinating world of study Bibles with returning guest Preston Sprinkle, a New York Times bestselling author and host of the Theology in the Raw podcast. Join us as we explore the innovative process behind the creation of the "Upside Down Kingdom Bible," a study Bible that merges traditional biblical scholarship with contemporary sociopolitical issues.Preston reveals the evolution of study Bibles, highlighting a shift from detailed footnotes on every verse to extended sidebars focused on fewer passages, a style that's gaining traction among younger generations like millennials and Gen Z. Although he admits a preference for the traditional footnoted approach, Preston recognizes the market trend towards engaging sidebars and essays of over 300,000 words in study notes, covering essential themes such as leadership, power, science, wealth, poverty, sexuality, gender, and grace.Doug and Preston dig into the challenge of translating Hebrew texts while maintaining their literary essence, debating the inclusion of themes like faith, allegiance, and the kingdom of God—crucial for a Bible focused on political insights. The episode also touches on the importance of selecting a diverse group of authors to ensure various viewpoints, which Preston emphasizes as key to the project.The discussion further addresses the misconception that platforming different perspectives equates to endorsement. Instead, it's about fostering dialogue and understanding, particularly in contexts of deconstructed religious beliefs. This approach is exemplified in Preston's thoughtful contributions to the study Bible on themes like sexuality, gender, and grace, all while staying true to biblical integrity.Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com ★ Support this podcast ★

Although most parents would like to think their tweens, teens, and adult-ish kids would not view or access pornographic material, the statistics tell us differently. And while none of us want to talk about it, many of our spouses are doing the same.As school commences and our teens and young adults enjoy greater freedom than ever before, how can we encourage healthy, meaningful conversations about the dangers of pornography and its addictive consequences?

Preston Sprinkle joins the podcast to talk about his recent book Exiles: The Church in the Shadow of Empire, to discuss a biblical theology of Christian engagement with politics, and to preview his upcoming contribution to the CPT conference. Why is it so easy to mingle ecclesiology and politics? Why is this a matter for Christian discipleship? What does it mean for the church to be a political identity? What is the posture of "submissive resistance" that might help the church think about its role in the world? All this on more on this new episode!

The Bible is clear that followers of Jesus are exiles in this world. What exactly does this mean and what does this mean for the way we view our political views and affiliations? How was going to church in the first century a politically subversive act? How was the cross a political image in the Roman world? We'll answer these questions and more with our guest and friend Dr. Preston Sprinkle around his new book, Exiles: The Church in the Shadow of Empire. Dr. Preston Sprinkle is a biblical scholar, speaker, podcaster, a New York Times bestselling author, and is the co-founder and president of The Center for Faith, Sexuality & Gender.

It's no secret that modern American Christians are deeply divided over politics. This division raises important questions about the influence of Scripture on political beliefs. To make sense of this, we invited renowned scholar NT Tom Wright, theologian, professor and star of the "Ask NT Wright Anything Podcast" along with New York Times bestselling author Dr. Preston M. Sprinkle host of the Theology in the Raw podcast. Tom Wright stresses the need for Christians to prioritise the kingdom of God and embody its values within the church. Preston talks about how Israel's exile to Babylon, Jesus' mission on earth, and the teachings of Paul all shaped the church's relationship with politics and can inform our own relationship with politics today. Tom Wright's co-author Mike Bird came on Unbelievable (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zieWeTqe2qc).

In this second episode on Kephale, I begin by looking at how Paul uses Kephale in Ephesians 1:22 and then 4:15, before jumping into its use in 5:23. I think go into great detail about the genre of "household codes" in the ancient world and how Paul is participating in this kind of conversation. I finally look at Eph 5:21-33 in light of the household code genre and examine several features in this passage that will help us understand the meaning and function of "head" (Kephale) in 5:23. I end up following a similar reading that Michelle Lee-Barnewall offers in her outstanding article: "Turning Kephale on Its Head."

With crucial elections happening in the UK and USA this year Unbelievable is diving back the debate into politics and faith with some paradigm shifting thinkers and theologians. Strap in for this mini-series starting with Michael F. Bird (Deputy Principal & New Testament scholar at Ridley College, Australia) and Stephen Wolfe (author of ‘The Case for Christian Nationalism'). These two come to vastly different conclusions about how faith and politics should mix. Stephen Wolfe makes a startling case for Christian nationalism. How can followers of Jesus be part of the solution bringing divided communities together asks Michael Bird, co-author with Tom “NT” Wright of ‘Jesus and the Powers?'  What are the boundaries of our personal beliefs?  How can we achieve the goods we wish to see in society?  In the coming weeks we will also hear from New Testament scholar Tom ‘NT' Wright, Preston Sprinkle author of ‘Exiles: The church in the shadow of empire' and ex-White House and presidential staffer Michael Wear Michael F.

I've been researching the meaning of the Greek word kephale ("head") for the last several months and I've been blogging about my findings over at  theologyintheraw.com This podcast episode is the first (quite long) summary of how I understand the meaning of kephale in extra-biblical Greek literature; namely, the LXX, secular Greek literature, and the early church fathers. In the next episode, I'll work through the meaning of kephale in the book of Ephesians; specifically, its use in 1:22, 4:15, and especially 5:23.

Pledging allegiance to the American flag. Singing the national anthem. Voting. Being patriotic. Is there a place for these things in the Christian life? Buckle up because this one will probably offend everyone in some way (including Patrick!). In this episode, we welcome Preston Sprinkle back on the podcast to discuss his newest book, “Exiles: The Church in the Shadow of Empire.” Preston dives into the history of ancient Israel and explains how they postured themselves in relation to Babylon, the empire of the day. He uses this to explain why he believes Christians must live their lives as exiles, or sojourners, in the modern-day “empire” of America. Plus, why is this mindset so offensive to many of today's evangelicals? And what is a true, biblical political view? Listen now! Have you benefitted personally from Truth Over Tribe or seen it have a positive effect on someone you know? have you used the podcast, book, or blog as a catalyst for conversation on polarizing topics?

My book Exiles: The Church in the Shadow of Empire releases tomorrow! (3/5). In this podcast conversation, my good friend Ed Uszynski interviews me about my book. As always, we get pretty raw and real--and drive off the road quite a bit. When it comes to the Bible, I feel pretty confident about what I believe about politics. And Exiles is primarily a book about the Bible. But when I wonder into modern political questions and points of application, well, that's where it gets...interesting.

Welcome to a sneak peek of the Bonus Q&A episode, part of the Theology in the Raw premium subscription.  In this Patreon-only episode, you'll get a sneak peak into my responses to some criticisms I've received over the last few months, such as: why am I having an open and affirming speaker at the Exiles conference? Do I really believe that gay people don't need to repent? Am I a heretic for believing that same-sex attraction itself is not a morally culpable sin? Do the terms gay and trans always have to convey a thick ontological view of human nature? Is it a sin to say "gay Christian?" Do my political views make me an isolationist? Do I "put right and coddle left?" Do I believe that Christians should never be involved with politics? I address these and other questions.

Pro-lifers may face more than ten years in prison for protesting abortion, while other violent protesters aren't even arrested, or are set free without bail. Why is this? Today we talk about the arbitrary rule/law of totalitarian regimes versus the static moral law of God. We also talk about “Christian nationalism” and the incredible insidious statements made by the Christian Left including William Barber, Russell Moore, and Preston Sprinkle.  ► Buy John's new book, Wimpy, Weak, And Woke http://www.johnlcooper.com/wimpyweakwoke ► Subscribe to the podcast: www.johnlcooper.com  Apple: http://bit.ly/cooperstuff  Spotify: http://bit.ly/cooperstuffspotify  CastBox: http://bit.ly/cooperstuffcast ► Connect with John L.

Today we're talking about Dr. Rosaria Butterfield's excellent talk at Liberty University last week, where she called out multiple Christian ministries for their weak stances on LGBTQ topics. We talk about Dr. Butterfield's five lies of our culture and why she nails the true, biblical definition of gender as well as how we should view same-sex attraction and same-sex-attracted Christians. In her talk, Dr. Butterfield called out the Revoice conference, Preston Sprinkle's Exiles in Babylon conference, and Cru (formerly Campus Crusade for Christ). We go through each of these ministries and some of what they teach about same-sex attraction and pronoun hospitality and explain why it's so important for ministries to be clear and explicit on these topics. Then, we take a look a video making the rounds on X of a woman trying to get out of a ticket because she's ... indigenous and nonbinary? --- Timecodes: (00:50) Rug mix-up (10:58) Dr. Rosaria Butterfield calls out ministries (41:59) Girl tries to get out of arrest --- Today's Sponsors: A'Del — go to adelnaturalcosmetics.com and enter promo code "ALLIE" for 25% off your first order!
