  • Abortion, Transgenderism & the Sexual Revolution - Alan Shlemon
    May 20 2023

    Sexual autonomy is at the forefront of the culture wars in America: the right to an abortion, the right to identify as any gender, the right to marry someone of the same sex, etc. Christianity on the other hand has clear guidelines regarding sexuality that stand in stark opposition to the culture. How can Christians stand their ground in the midst of this? In this episode Prashanth talks to Alan Shlemon, a speaker with Stand to Reason, who regularly engages with these issues and more. They discuss the ideology behind the sexual revolution, how that plays out in the culture and how Christians can engage the issues in a winsome manner as ambassadors of Christ.
