You Tube Theology

What we believe about identity didn’t just appear out of nowhere. It has a history, and it’s shaping the way our kids, our churches, and our culture see truth. And this goes beyond just the transgender movement. What's inside you is spiritual and divine. This is your identity, your true authentic self. And if this self says that you are an animal or a fantasy creature? Then "God" must be obeyed. This is a topic that continues to fascinate me because the more I understand where this ideology came from, the more I understand spiritual warfare and truth. I sat down with Carl Trueman (Strange New World) and Pastor Todd Pruitt to talk about where this came from, why feelings have replaced reality, and how the Bible gives us a better answer.

We filmed this before Charlie Kirk's assassination, and then the following discovery that the k*ller was involved in the furry community. In that short time, I've learned more about the furry fandom and will continue to look deeper into this area.
