Text Us! On this episode, we spend some time laying an important foundation for understanding gender distinction as it relates to clothing. Is it acceptable for women and men to blur the lines in their dress? Are we expected to throw out all laws given in the Mosaic Covenant simply because we are not under that Covenant? If that is the case, does that mean verses such as Deuteronomy 22:5 no longer have any significance to us? These are all things we begin to explore on this multipart episode. Pl...

Text Us! For all of human history it has been accepted that gender was "binary". This simply means that there are only two options, male or female. However, in our modern society, this concept of gender binary has been popularized. Some would maintain that they are not 100% male or 100% female, and as a result they would identify as some other type of gender. Is this possible? Is there a verifiable system by which we can determine another gender outside of male and female? Are there biblical pri...

Text Us! What is gender? Should men and woman have different gender roles? Some in our modern culture would argue that gender roles are simply a social construct. Are gender and sex linked or are they different? Should those terms be used synonymously? What are gender roles rooted in?

Text Us! On this episode, we spend some time tackling the idea that unborn children are not considered "true" persons. We interact with some objections to personhood made by proponents of abortion. We also introduce an acronym, S.L.E.D, that has been popularized in the Pro-Life camp. This acronym will better equip you to engage with those that claim an unborn child is a mere clump of cells and not a genuine person. We hope you enjoy this episode!

Text Us! In this episode, we spend some time engaging with an article that was written by American philosopher Judith Jarvis Thomson. Thomson tries to argue that even if one could prove that the "thing" inside the womb is a human child, it still would not take away from the right to abort that child. She uses some unprecedented illustrations to prove her point and we spend time unpacking and responding to these points that she makes. We hope you enjoy!
