In this powerful 2-hour conversation, I talk to Christian counselor, Andrew Rodriguez (@psychobible). We expose the critical gap between doctrine and practice at Christian institutions — using Biola University as a real-world case study. Includes a discussion about Rosemead Psychology’s stance on “conversion therapy.”
🔥 We read Biola’s old vs. new gender & student care policies line-by-line.
⚖️ Compare their public statements of faith with actual campus culture
❌ Unpack the red flags in “The Dwelling” — Biola’s official LGBTQ+/SSA ministry
🗣️ React to clips from a Preston Sprinkle’s chapel talk & Side B framework
🛑 Why “gay Christian,” “sexual orientation,” and “safe space” language undermines transformation
Parents, pastors, youth leaders — this is your roadmap for:
• Crafting biblically sound policies
• Training leaders to respond in the moment when a teen says, “I think I’m gay/trans”
• Avoiding the Side B drift that leaves students stuck, not sanctified

How Should Christians Engage the Public Square in a Pluralistic World? | 9/27/25 | ATT#219
Join us for a conversation exploring the intersection of Christianity, religious liberty, and the public square with Dr. Andrew T. Walker, professor of ethics and public theology at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. In this thought-provoking discussion, we tackle several pressing questions: How should Christians navigate religious pluralism in America’s constitutional republic? What does the Bible say about freedom of religion? And how do we address cultural challenges like the “Muslim problem” and Christian nationalism while preserving the American experiment? From the Founding Fathers’ vision to today’s Jesus-centered public discourse, this conversation offers biblical insights and practical wisdom for engaging in today’s complex cultural moment.
Time stamps of key moments:
4:06 Introduction to guest's background and research focus.
7:25 Theological framework for religious liberty.
11:51 Founders' views on religion and the public square.
22:11 What do you think the Founding Fathers would think about recent "Jesus talk" in government?
37:04 How should we address the cultural challenges from Islam and pluralism?
50:32 Perspectives on Christian nationalism and its implications.
Check out Dr. Walker's book, Freedom for All.
