Christianity claims to tell the most beautiful story ever told: the story of a good God who is committed to healing the world. God became human in Jesus to show us what true humanity looks like—and to invite us to become human like him. At the heart of this story is a God whose love is beyond our comprehension, a mystery that only deepens the more we explore it. As compelling as this story is, both followers of Jesus and spiritual seekers wrestle with tough questions about the church and its teachings, especially as they've been interpreted through the Bible. How do we navigate understandable concerns about topics like the treatment of women, suffering, hell, and more? And how do these questions shape our picture of who God is and how he relates to us? This series invites us to face Christianity's Biggest Questions with curiosity, courage, and hope.

In this episode, Chels talks to Alexis and Lilian (@one99four & @lilianbrilliant_) who have recently welcomed their baby daughter into the world. Alexis and Lilian share their love story and journey to parenthood - from navigating reciprocal IVF to their birth story and a NICU stay, and finding their rhythm in postpartum and shared motherhood. Alexis and Lilian also touch on the stigmas or hurdles they've had to navigate as a same sex family. In Germany, where their daughter was born, only the birth mother is legally and automatically listed on the birth certificate - meaning Lilian would have to ‘adopt' her own daughter in an arduous process which can take up to 18 months. Alexis and Lilian run @sapphiccircle - retreats and community events for queer women.

Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse and Father Rob Jack discusses how the cultural acceptance of same-sex marriage laid the groundwork for today's transgender ideology, highlighting the tragic case of a young man whose family fracture, gender confusion, and societal pressures ended in violence and suicide. She explains how lies such as the “affirm or suicide” threat manipulate parents, how divorce destabilizes children's identities, and how laws banning therapy options force families toward harmful medical interventions. Drawing connections from Enlightenment rationalism to modern transhumanism, Dr. Morse warns that detaching people from reality and their bodies dehumanizes them, and she emphasizes the Ruth Institute's mission to defend parental rights and restore truth about human sexuality and dignity.

Averill Earls is an associate professor in history at St. Olaf's College and her research focuses on sexuality and modern Ireland. Her writing has appeared in the Journal of the History of Sexuality, Historical Reflections (in the top-visited issue of the journal to date), Perspectives Magazine, Nursing Clio, and Notches Blog. In 2021 she was awarded the Judith R. Walkowitz Article Prize for her 2020 article, "Solicitor Brown and His Boy." Prof. Earls is also one of the four feminist historians and award-winning podcasters who founded Dig: A History Podcast in 2017. Love in the Lav: A Social Biography of Same-Sex Desire in Ireland, 1922-1972 (Temple UP, 2025) tells the unexpected, sometimes heartbreaking, stories of Dublin's men who desired men and the Gardaí who policed them. The book uncovers Ireland's queer lives of the past. Averill Earls investigates how same-sex-desiring men lived and loved in a country where their sexuality was illegal and seen as unnatural. Across seven social biographical chapters, each highlighting individuals at the nexus of these histories, Earls constructs a narrative of experiences through the larger contexts in which they are embedded. She uses courtroom testimonies, police records, and family history archives as well as “educated speculation” to show how structures governing male same-sex desire in Ireland played out on the bodies of the men who desired men, the teen boys who sold sex to men, and the way the Catholic-nationalist ethos shaped the Gardaí who policed them. Love in the Lav examines the experiences of people such as cabbie James Hand, who was put on trial for gross indecency, to provide a window into the queer working-class subculture of 1930s Dublin. Earls also focuses on issues of consent, especially with teens, and the unregulated queer Irish world of public figures, including Micheál Mac Liammóir, Hilton Edwards, Ronald Brown, and John Broderick. By examining twentieth-century Ireland through the lived experiences of ordinary same-sex-desiring Irish men who were relegated to obscurity by Irish society, Earls reveals the contradictions, possibilities, and magnitude of postcolonial Irish Catholic nationalism.

In 2015, the Supreme Court made marriage equality the law of the land. However, for the first time in over five years, Kim Davis (an opponent of same-sex marriage) petitioned for a writ of certiorari to overturn Obergefell.

And is even talking about this a problem in itself??Talking us through the situation and possible scenarios is Danaya Wright, Professor in Constitutional Law at the University of Florida Levin College of Law.

What happens when your Christian convictions collide with today's cultural realities? How do you love people while staying true to biblical principles? And what do you do when you're too exhausted from ministry to actually live out your faith? Marc and Fuller tackle some of the hardest questions facing Christians today while driving to a wedding in Peru, Indiana. From the RTC Facebook group, listeners asked about everything from spiritual armor to same-sex weddings to passing faith down to the next generation. You'll hear Marc explain why the "belt of truth" keeps your pants up (literally and spiritually), while Fuller admits he's still working on that whole "gospel of peace" thing. They dive deep into the messy reality of LGBTQ wedding invitations - should you go or not? Marc shares a personal story about drawing loving boundaries, while Fuller wrestles with the ministry implications of saying yes or no. But maybe the most honest moment comes when they open up about their current faith struggles. Marc's trying to figure out how to raise kids who own their faith instead of just inheriting it. Fuller's battling the exhaustion that comes with being an elder - turns out spiritual leadership can actually make your faith harder, not easier. No easy answers here, just two dudes being real about the complicated business of living out biblical convictions in 2025. Join the conversation and see if you relate to their struggles. Recorded on the road - because sometimes the best conversations happen between destinations. ––– Learn more about RTC online at https://realtalkchristianpodcast.com/

An ex-county clerk in Kentucky who drew nationwide attention for denying marriage licenses for same-sex couples is back in the news. Kim Davis is asking the Supreme Court to overturn its landmark decision that legalized same sex unions nationwide. Obergefell v. Hodges was issued in 2015. It officially recognized that queer Americans have a constitutional right to get married. Hundreds of thousands of people have been married in the 10 years since. And also since then, Kim Davis has been fighting court battles over her refusal to grant licenses – citing her belief that she should get a religious exemption under the first amendment. The Supreme Court will decide this fall if they want to consider Davis’ appeal – and experts are skeptical that they will do so. But what would a serious legal fight to overturn marriage equality look like? And are legal rights besides marriage at risk for LGBTQ Washingtonians? Guest: Professor Alison Gash, Chair of the University of Oregon’s Department of Political Science. She’s also an academic expert in United States courts, sexuality, same-sex marriage, constitutional rights and public policy.

Today's Headlines: The Supreme Court is taking up a case that could overturn its 2015 Obergefell decision legalizing same-sex marriage — courtesy of Kim Davis, the Kentucky clerk jailed for refusing gay marriage licenses. She's appealing a $360K judgment, claiming First Amendment protection and arguing marriage equality was wrongly decided. Meanwhile, the White House plans to audit the Smithsonian to make sure exhibits fit Trump's “unifying” version of American history — which critics say means erasing inconvenient facts. Harvard is reportedly near a $500M settlement with the Trump administration to end multiple investigations, restore research funding, and avoid federal oversight — while maintaining its admissions independence. Trump mocked Goldman Sachs' chief economist after tariff warnings, telling the CEO (a hobbyist DJ) to “focus on being a DJ.” He also nominated Heritage Foundation economist EJ Antoni to lead the Bureau of Labor Statistics after firing the last commissioner over jobs numbers. An Israeli strike killed Al Jazeera correspondent Anas al-Sharif, four colleagues, and two others; Israel claims he was a Hamas operative. And convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell has been moved to a cushier prison with possible work release.

In “Kim on a Whim,” Kim and Marc dissect the media frenzy over claims the Supreme Court could overturn same-sex marriage, sparked by former Kentucky clerk Kim Davis' appeal of her 2015 legal battles. They argue outlets like ABC are using the case as a political scare tactic to rally voters, tying it to Trump despite the events predating his presidency. Marc reiterates his belief in traditional marriage but doubts the Court will even take the case, let alone reverse Obergefell. They note Trump's mixed record on the issue, calling him “wishy-washy” on social issues but highly effective for conservative causes overall. Both slam the narrative that Project 2025 or Trump himself is behind this, labeling it a “nothing burger” meant to stoke protests and division before the election.
