The topics of gender dysphoria, transgender issues, homosexuality, pornography, and sex outside of marriage are all discussed. Also discussed is how the Church must do a better job in talking about sex and in providing a supported lifestyle path of community for those who are committed to living a single, celibate life.

We also look at way the Church goes too far in being partisan or to the other extreme of avoiding biblical issues that happen to be political.
