What happens when cultural ideology reshapes how we read the Bible—especially when it comes to sexuality and identity?In this compelling conversation, Tim Barnett—apologist, speaker, and co-author (alongside Alisa Childers) of The Deconstruction of Christianity: What It Is, Why It’s Destructive, and How to Respond—joins us to unpack the growing trend of deconstruction today. Together, we explore how cultural ideology around identity, sexuality, and personal autonomy is shaping the way many believers approach Scripture, and why the biblical sexual ethic often becomes a flashpoint in the process of walking away from historic Christian faith. Tim thoughtfully addresses the rise of revisionist interpretations of Scripture, the philosophical undercurrents of deconstruction, and the ways in which church leaders can respond with both truth and grace. Whether you're wrestling with these questions yourself or leading others who are, this episode offers clarity, conviction, and hope for holding to a vibrant faith in a rapidly shifting cultural landscape.

Episode #89- Neil & Sharol Josephson On Getting The Rocks Out Of Your Marriage
Healthy and thriving marriages filled with love are cultivated over longer periods. Just like with grapes grown to make wine, it can take years of purposeful attention to the proverbial soil quality of this covenantal relationship. Sometimes there can be little rocks under the surface that end up choking the life and love out of marriages. Little things left unchecked can become big problems.
So, how do we identify these rocks and get them out of the soil of our marriages so that the fruit of this relationship can be intoxicatingly healthy?
This is exactly what we are going to discuss in today's episode with Neil & Sharol Josephson from FamilyLife.
Before stepping into the call to work with FamilyLife, Neil worked as a Bible school president and Sharol as a TV broadcaster. Together they also worked as marriage pastors at a large church in Southern California. In addition, they have served as the directors of FamilyLife Canada and have recently stepped into a role as the directors of FamilyLife International. Neil and Sharol have been married for over 40 years and have a great depth of understanding and wisdom in what it takes to have a thriving marriage. This was a great conversation and we know it will impact your life.
