Why Are Christians Losing the Culture War Around Sexuality? | Jesus vs. America

In Jesus vs. America, a Gen X attorney sits down with a Millennial and a member of Gen Z to untangle the Christian faith from the influence of the American culture.
Episode Description:
The church has struggled for decades to speak with credibility on sexuality. We have also ignored the Biblical command to look inwardly at our own sexuality, instead choosing to focus all our attention on the sexual lives of those outside the church. How do we talk about sexuality in a spiritually healthy way?

About Jesus vs. America:
For over two decades, we have collectively watched young adults walking away from their faith at an alarming rate. Most Christian resources focus on this exodus from a sociological lens, and we have benefited from the work that has been done in this area. But as three people with on-the-ground experience working with young adults every day, it is increasingly clear that young adults are not so much reacting to Jesus, his message, or even his plan for the church. Instead, many young people are being repelled by a counterfeit and enculturated version of Christianity, a version of Christianity that commingles the American culture and political ideology with the Christian faith.
Jesus told us we could not serve two masters, and yet so many Christians have tried to serve both the teachings of scripture and the dictates of the American culture. Young adults have taken notice, and they want nothing to do with this tainted form of religion. Many may bemoan the loss of so many young people, but we have often given them the reasons they cite when they leave.
Our podcast is designed to first and foremost untangle the teachings of Jesus and the will of God revealed throughout the scripture from the enculturated version of the gospel that has spread to many corners of the church in 21st Century America. In doing so, we hope to validate what young adults have long suspected, while challenging them to go deeper with Jesus rather than bail out on a counterfeit gospel. We want to demonstrate honest questions and to wrestle with doubts while also encouraging young adults to do the work of seeking answers and working to rebuild their faith.

I loved how she called out the Church’s mistakes when it comes to sexuality and highlighted how much we need good education. I enjoyed this episode

Good callout on some of the church’s shortcomings on how we honor god and raise his Church in an honoring sexual ethic. Some church communities interact well with conversion around sexuality, but many don’t. We should always be striving to do better for the Lord
