Christopher Yuan joins Michael to talk about sexuality, identity, culture, and to offer guidance to Christian parents navigating these issues with their children.
We elevate our experience over truth. The real issue is not: what is male or female? The real, underlying issue is: what is truth? Truth, to the world, is what you feel or what you think. There’s no objective truth anymore. That’s how we’ve been living in Post-Modernity.
When you get rid of God, you get rid of truth. When you get rid of God, you get rid of meaning, purpose, and identity.
But what is the truth? It’s a person, His name is Jesus.
