Sexual liberation promised freedom, but it delivered heartbreak. In this week's episode of The Narrative, we're joined by Nathanael Blake, author of Victims of the Revolution: How Sexual Liberation Hurts Us All, to candidly talk about the consequences of a culture that has abandoned God's intended design for sex, marriage, and family. CCV President Aaron Baer and Policy Director David Mahan sit down with Nathanael to walk through the damage left in the wake of the sexual revolution—how women, children, and even men have suffered under the lie that we can separate sex from commitment, family, and faithfulness. Before their conversation with Nathanael, Aaron and David break down the latest Franklin County court ruling, which claims EDChoice in Ohio is unconstitutional. They also share an update on the state budget and what's ahead for Ohio, pending Governor DeWine's signature. More about Nathanael Blake Nathanael Blake, Ph.D., is a Life and Family Initiative Fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center. His research interests include American political theory, Christian political thought, and the intersection of natural law and philosophical hermeneutics.

In this powerful episode, Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse, founder of the Ruth Institute and author of The Sexual State: How Elite Ideologies Are Destroying Lives, joins the show from the Change Movement conference in California. The conversation centers around individuals who have left behind LGBTQ lifestyles and identities, often after profound encounters with faith and community. Dr. Morse describes the testimonies of several people who spoke on the steps of the California State Capitol—stories marked by deep personal transformation, a longing for family, and spiritual awakening. The discussion also touches on the societal shift in attitudes toward sexuality and gender over recent decades, the role of media in shaping cultural norms, and the challenges of speaking out in today's environment. She reflects on the early capture of institutions like the American Psychological Association by activist ideologies and explains how recent developments—especially around the transgender movement—are causing some to reconsider what was once seen as a “settled” cultural narrative.
Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse, founder of the Ruth Institute, joins Father Jack to discuss the Institute's recent involvement in a major Supreme Court case on counseling freedom. She explains the arguments behind their amicus brief challenging Colorado's ban on “conversion therapy” and highlights the broader implications for free speech, religious liberty, and therapeutic choice. Dr. Morse also takes a critical look at the Trevor Project, a well-funded LGBTQ youth organization, raising concerns about its influence, federal funding, and online platforms. Tune in for a compelling conversation about the intersection of law, culture, and the future of family advocacy. Resources Mentioned: Ruth Institute: www.ruthinstitute.org Ruth Institute YouTube Channel Key Points: 1. Supreme Court Case and Amicus Brief: Dr. Morse and the Ruth Institute filed an amicus brief in a Supreme Court case challenging a Colorado law banning so-called "conversion therapy." The brief was submitted under the title “Brief of Sexual Orientation Scholars in Support of Petitioners.” The case involves a Christian therapist claiming the law restricts her religious and professional freedom. The Ruth Institute argues that bans on such therapy suppress alternative therapeutic approaches and violate rights of both therapists and clients. Father Paul Sullins provided statistical critiques in the brief, and Morse contributed case studies and analysis questioning assumptions about sexuality, including the claim that people are “born gay.” 2. Critique of the Trevor Project: Morse criticizes the Trevor Project, a suicide prevention group for LGBTQ youth, claiming it is ideologically biased and heavily funded. She notes that YouTube links the Trevor Project to content critical of LGBTQ identities, labeling alternatives like conversion therapy as harmful. Morse supports the Trump administration's decision to withdraw federal funding from the Trevor Project, redirecting it to general suicide prevention efforts. Concerns were raised about the Trevor Project's online community features, which critics have described as vulnerable to abuse. Morse references critiques from “Gays Against Groomers” and the California Family Council. 3. Underlying Themes: The conversation strongly critiques mainstream LGBTQ support structures and what Morse and the Ruth Institute view as coercive or ideologically driven policies. Emphasis is placed on the rights of therapists and clients to explore identity and trauma without mandated affirming approaches.

Mature and Sensitive Topics Discussed in This Episode Today, more than ever, we are suffering from the ramifications of the sexual revolution that began over 50 years ago.

In this powerful interview, Fr. Rob Jack speaks with Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse, founder of the Ruth Institute and author of The Sexual State: How Elite Ideologies Are Destroying Lives and Why the Church Was Right All Along. Together, they unpack the devastating effects of the sexual revolution—from no-fault divorce and the redefinition of marriage, to gender ideology and surrogacy. Dr. Morse explains how powerful cultural elites have reshaped law, medicine, and education to fit an anti-family agenda—and how the Church offers the antidote. If you've ever wondered why society seems so confused about sex, family, and identity—or what we can do to rebuild the moral order—this is the conversation you've been waiting for.

This is Empires of the Future, conversations to encourage the Church in a time of change. The First Sexual Revolution Much has been written about the sexual revolution, and in past podcasts we've mentioned a recent book by Louise Perry called “The Case Against the Sexual Revolution”, and believe she makes a strong case that the sexual revolution was actually bad for men, women, and children. In an article posted at First Things, Kyle Harper explains how Christianity actually drove a completely countercultural sexual revolution in the first century whose effects are not only still felt today, but too often taken for granted. We explore all this and more in this episode of Empires of the Future. "The Empires of the future will be Empires of the Mind." - Winston Churchill

Today, David looks at what esteemed jurist Joseph Story said about the First Amendment’s “Free Speech Clause”—debated this week in the U.S. Supreme Court—and a type of harm it did not protect. Today, even that harm makes no sense, and so it is allowed to proliferate. David explains what is missing in even doctrinally sound Christian thinking that prevents the scourge of pornography from being addressed properly in our law.

David explains what is missing in even doctrinally sound Christian thinking that prevents the scourge of pornography from being addressed properly in our law.

In this bold and eye-opening episode of Catholic in America, Jason Adkins is joined by Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse, founder of the Ruth Institute, to expose the institutional forces behind the sexual revolution—and how the Church's teachings are not only relevant, but prophetic. Dr. Morse, a trained economist and former professor at Yale and George Mason, dives deep into how elite ideologies—disguised as progress—have systematically dismantled family life through no-fault divorce, contraception, and gender ideology. From propaganda in U.S. foreign aid to the ideology embedded in public schools, Dr. Morse explains why the Sexual Revolution is not grassroots—but an elite-driven, top-down campaign of cultural colonization. Together, Jason and Dr. Morse discuss: Why the Church has been right all along about sexuality and marriage The myth of “neutral” sexual education and its real agenda How population control and foreign policy shaped feminism and gender ideology Why stories from survivors of the Sexual Revolution are changing the conversation What it means to raise a family in a world ruled by “The Sexual State” Dr. Morse doesn't hold back—and neither should we. If you're concerned about the future of children, family, and faith, this conversation is a must-listen.

It's not just sex. It means so much more than that. Join us for this series called Re/enchanting Sex After the Sexual Revolution.
In this episode, Tom Short and I share stories from campus, discuss evangelism in the context of the sexual revolution, the cultural victory (or chaos) of Hugh Hefner, and the point of contact.
Writer and podcaster Louise Perry returns to the pod to discuss her new book, A New Guide to Sex in the 21st Century, in which she takes ideas from her 2022 book The Case Against The Sexual Revolution and adapts them for teenagers and young adults. In this conversation, we pick up from where we left off in our 2022 interview, catching up on the evolving discourse around the winners and losers of the sexual revolution and trying to parse what's going with the “online right” and its Little House On The Prairie fantasies and overall fixation on homestead life. (News alert: People on the American frontier did suffer from depression. There was even a name for it: Prairie Madness.) We also talk about the 4B movement (what does “B” stand for anyway?), conservative matchmaking initiatives (has Louise crowdsourced her own yenta business?), and the need for a more interventionist approach to relationships and family life. Guest bio: Louise Perry is a writer and activist based in London. This year, she co-founded a non-partisan feminist think tank called The Other Half, where she serves as Research Director. Her debut book is The Case Against the Sexual Revolution: A New Guide to Sex in the 21st Century.
Louise Perry joins John to dissect the UK Supreme Court's recent ruling that anchors “woman” to biological sex in the Equality Act. The verdict, Perry argues, unveils the fraying tapestry of progressivism, which clings to the flawed thesis of human interchangeability. In focusing on women's safety and biological integrity, the Court's decision mirrors a broader recognition of transgender activism's overreach, which demanded a denial of truth and reality. Beneath this legal milestone lies a deeper lament for a civilisation adrift, unmoored from Christian roots and besieged by cultural dislocation. From the fertility crisis to the hollow promises of sexual liberation, Perry and John trace the wreckage of progressive ideals: the allure of OnlyFans, fractured relationships, and a generation craving meaning. Yet glimmers of hope are emerging: rising church attendance and a trend of young minds questioning the chaos around them. Louise Perry is the author of The Case Against the Sexual Revolution, described by the Observer as possibly “one of the most important feminist books of its time.” She hosts the podcast Maiden Mother Matriarch, and is a frequent contributor to The New Statesman, The Spectator, and The Daily Mail.
Today we revisit the topic of sex and dating. How should parents talk about it with their teenagers? What if my teen doesn't seem to have any interest in these sorts of issues?
