Often there are trails that we can see in retrospect were for our ultimate good. Can you think of a time or season of life that you had to go through?Do you believe that Jesus can redeem your sexual brokenness? Have you experienced that freedom?What do you need to leave behind in pursuit of The Way of Jesus? How can the men at your table help?Think of someone who you long to see come to a saving faith in Jesus. Share their name and a little bit about them.

Christians have the best answer to the epidemic of loneliness in our culture. As articulated by the US Surgeon General, being disconnected has life-damaging consequences. But too many in the body of Christ are neither experiencing nor offering the kind of friendship Christians are uniquely equipped to provide. Dr. Carol's guest on this episode is author and podcaster Rebecca McLaughlin who has a PhD in literature from Cambridge University and a theology degree from Oak Hill Theological College in London. She contends that friendship love is not optional for followers of Jesus. She explains why this love is, in New Testament terms, more critical than marriage or romantic love.

Dr. Rebecca McLaughlin (Ph.D. Cambridge University) joins today's episode to speak with Tim on how to engage challenging questions and challenging people. Through the course of the conversation they consider such questions as: How can persuasion be an act of love? When can challenging a person's belief be a sign of respect? What are the telltale signs that someone is listening to you? And what might loving and respectful engagement look like in contentious topics such as homosexuality and abortion? If Jesus is the truth and the life, this should shape the manner in which Christians engage with others, especially when we engage with people who do not believe in the claims of Christianity. Show notes and a full transcript are available.

Has the Church been clinging to outdated standards regarding those in the gay and lesbian community? Or have Christians gone too far in accepting and affirming these lifestyles? In this program, Chip interviews prominent author and apologist Rebecca McLaughlin about this topic. They discuss some of the popular claims society makes about Scripture and sexuality against what the Bible actually says.Main Points Introduction and Work: Rebecca McLaughlin is a best-selling author and PhD from Cambridge, known for her work on apologetics and controversial Church issues. Her latest book is Does the Bible Affirm Same-Sex Relationships? Faith Journey and Challenges: Grew up in a church-going family in London and has been a follower of Jesus since childhood. Faced challenges to her Christian beliefs during her academic journey, especially on sexual ethics. Experienced same-sex attraction from an early age, openly discussed in her mid-thirties. Biblical Perspective and Sexual Ethics: Argues the Bible does not support same-sex sexual relationships, linking marriage and sexuality to the gospel message. Emphasizes the importance of addressing sexual ethics for understanding Christian teachings. Points out the New Testament's serious stance on sexual immorality and the symbolic nature of marriage in the Bible. Countering Common Claims: Rebecca argues that the Bible offers an inclusive vision of love among believers, distinct from romantic or sexual love. She contrasts the emotional appeal of same-sex relationships with the biblical command for non-sexual, brotherly/sisterly love. Christian Love and Relationships: Emphasizes that Christian love is deeply committed and inclusive, but not sexual. Highlights the significance of Christian fellowship as a fulfilling relational aspect of faith. Understanding Biblical Sexual Ethics: Counters the belief that the Bible only prohibits exploitative relationships by examining biblical language and context. Explains that Paul's terminology and cultural context indicate a broad condemnation of same-sex relationships, not limited to exploitative ones. Understanding Romans 1 and Gospel Integration: Romans 1 highlights various sins, including same-sex relationships, to show the universal need for Jesus and redemption. Biblical texts condemning same-sex relations often emphasize redemption and grace, as seen in Paul's letters. Christian Humility and Jesus' Teachings: Christians should approach discussions on sin with humility, recognizing everyone's need for redemption. Jesus' teachings on sexual ethics focus on deeper heart issues and the need for a savior, not just moral compliance. God's Boundaries and Fulfillment: God's commands, even if restrictive, are for our good and lead to deeper fulfillment. Staying true to God's Word may bring short-term discomfort but results in long-term joy and benefits. Marriage and Ultimate Fulfillment: Marriage is valuable but not the ultimate source of fulfillment. True satisfaction comes from a relationship with Jesus, offering a love beyond human capacity. Addressing Same-Sex Attraction and Identity: Same-sex attraction does not define one's identity or indicate a fixed orientation. Encourages open dialogue and understanding, distinguishing between attraction and identity. Supporting Those with Same-Sex Attractions: Seek supportive Christian friends who uphold biblical truth and offer genuine love. True friendship involves helping each other adhere to God's Word, not compromising for comfort.

This week's Ask the Pastor episode kicks off our brand new series, Gospel & Politics. This series will feature Pastor J.D. with other respected leaders talking about how we can integrate both the gospel and politics into our lives this election season.  A glimpse inside this episode: Secular beliefs often have Christian foundations, and Christians should recognize the influence of their faith in shaping moral values. The witness of the church is not about being good people, but about recognizing our need for Jesus and sharing the gospel with others. The decline in church attendance presents an evangelistic opportunity, as many people are searching for meaning and purpose. Christians should engage in politics and vote according to their Christian values, while also recognizing the limitations of legislation in enforcing personal beliefs. Christian engagement in politics can have a significant impact, and Christians should strive for a holistic understanding of scripture in shaping political discourse.

According to Rebecca McLaughlin, many of the beliefs of our contemporary culture can be summarized into a kind of “secular creed.” Though Christians will agree with some parts of this creed and disagree with others, it's important to note that many of the assumptions underlying this “statement of faith” are deeply rooted in Christian soil. So how did Jesus completely reshape the moral imagination of Western culture?

Happy Good Friday! As we enter this weekend reflecting on Easter and the miracle of the cross, we're thrilled to share one of our favorite episodes with you! Rebecca McLaughlin is an award winning author and today we dive into her book, Is Easter Unbelievable? Four Questions Everyone Should Ask About the Resurrection Story.  Let me ask you this, does your belief in Jesus being the Son of God, dying on the cross, and his resurrection change the way you live? Do these truths penetrate your heart to the point where your life looks radically different from those around you? In today's episode Rebecca shares why and how they should. We discuss how Jesus' love for us displayed through his death is even more stunning than his love for us shown through his life, how the Gospel gives us 4 pieces of evidence of his resurrection, and how our earthly relationships point us to our reunification with our Savior! Friends, this is an important conversation. Wherever you are in your life right now, our prayer is that Jesus is appealing to you and that the miracle of the cross resonates with you. Make sure to grab a copy of Rebecca's book and share this episode with a friend.

Dr. Juli Slattery returns to the podcast to debunk the unhealthy assumptions about marriage, sex, and relationships that many Christians have adopted from modern, secular culture. Rather than embracing these cultural views, we can humbly embrace what God has to say about things like sex, marriage, singleness, and the Church community. As we embrace God's design for these things, we are better equipped to bring truth and love to those who are broken, hurting, and confused.    Are you prepared to make the case for life? Scott Klusendorf's newly updated edition of The Case for Life provides the tools we need to protect preborn lives from the ideologies and arguments that deny their value—including the arguments that have overtaken the world in just the last few years.
