Ep. 95. Christianity and culture : Gender identity (part 2)
"transgenderism is doing much damage to families, adolescents, and children and should be confronted as an opinion without biological foundation wherever it emerges"
Dr Paul Mchugh
Aug 06, 202006:44
Ep. 94. Christianity and culture : Gender identity
At the heart of the problem is confusion over the nature of the transgendered. “Sex change” is biologically impossible. People who undergo sex-reassignment surgery do not change from men to women or vice versa. Rather, they become feminized men or masculinized women. Dr. Paul McHugh
Aug 05, 202006:47
Ep. 93. Christianity and culture : homosexuality and gospel hope.
"The biblical teaching is consistent and unambiguous: homosexual activity is not God’s will for his people. Silence in the face of such clarity is not prudence, and hesitation in light of such frequency is not patience. The Bible says more than enough about homosexual practice for us to say something too.. "

Ep. 92. Christianity and culture : wealth, happiness and God.
"We are half hearted creature fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mudpies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased. "
CS Lewis
