WNC Week 4 "Culture Wars: A Theology of Gender & Understanding Gender Ideology, Pt. 1 " Brent Cunningham at Timberline Church
Series: Culture Wars
February 15, 2023 | Brent Cunningham
In this currently contentious topic, Christians must distinguish between “gender ideology,” and those trapped in the ideology. The Bible commands us to refuse to sacrifice either truth or love. We know that humanity’s rebellion in the garden introduced sin into the human experience. And sin has so deeply ravaged what it means to be human, and our experiences of embodied life, that our own identities are deeply fractured. We finally consider historically how gender dysphoria has moved from a rare psychological symptom to a social phenomenon—fed by a particular ideology that comes through the educational institutions, and is enabled by a technology we did not have before.
