Our culture wants to make race, class and gender our primary identity. And some churches are hoping on that bandwagon. Let's step back and talk about God's vision for humanity. How does He see us?

Guest: Allie Beth Stuckey We're told that the key to happiness is self-love. We are told that if we learn to love ourselves, we'll be successful, secure, and complete. But the promise doesn't deliver. Instead of feeling fulfilled, our pursuit of self-love traps us in an exhausting cycle of self-improvement. The truth is we can't find satisfaction inside ourselves because we are the problem. And that's okay, because God is.

Our culture's push toward complete LGBT affirmation –– and celebration –– has left many Christians feeling confused about how to respond. Biblical counselor, Joe Dallas, knows first-hand what it's like to struggle with same-sex attraction. He served for several years in a gay-affirming church. But he then came out of that and into a historic understanding of the Bible. Joe offers some practical, and biblical, wisdom to think through these sensitive issues as we engage with our loved ones. Guest: Author & Pastoral Counselor, Joe Dallas. Visit his web site at https://www.joedallas.com

There is a LOT of conversation happening in the culture –– and in churches –– right now that people experience the world very differently based on their gender or ethnicity. In fact, they experience SO differently that there really is no such thing as common human experience or objective truth.
