Is transgenderism the new civil rights battle, or is it something entirely different? In this episode, I explore the complex intersections of culture, morality, and critical theory. We discuss the historical parallels between the transgender movement and past civil rights struggles, dissect key arguments from Voddie Baucham's impactful book "It's Not Like Being Black: How Sexual Activists Hijacked the Civil Rights Movement" and analyze how ideology is shaping our society today. You will learn about the roots of critical theory, its influence on current cultural debates, and how it reframes morality through the lens of power dynamics. We also address the controversial legacy of figures like Alfred Kinsey and John Money, examine the rise of sexual revolution ideologies, and tackle the implications for education, politics, and faith communities. Finally, I explain how Christians can navigate these challenging topics with truth and love in a rapidly changing world.Whether you're seeking to understand the cultural landscape or looking for ways to engage with these issues from a biblical perspective, this conversation is packed with insights and thought-provoking discussion.

J. Warner Wallace was a cold-case homicide detective before retiring and becoming a a best selling Christian author. His latest book "The Truth in True Crime" is divided into 15 chapters. Each chapter introduces you to an investigation of a death as Wallace and his partner Rick chase down leads and along the way learn guiding principles to help you thrive and flourish as a human being created in the image of God.

As a fellow law enforcement officer, I had a blast swapping stories with Jim and discussing how the Bible explains in precise detail what human nature is really like. The Bible spells out the traits we need to succeed and the pitfalls to avoid. It also explains how God has created us for a relationship with him.

Jim's new book is very well researched with numerous footnotes citing modern sources from psychology, sociology, and other areas of science. However, it is very easy to read and almost felt like you are following along in a crime novel. I highly recommend this book!
