Navigating Sex, Singleness, and Gender Identity in Modern Christianity
A candid, wide-ranging conversation with Mike Erre and Andy as they tackle a grab bag of honest and often unspoken questions from listeners about sex, marriage, singleness, divorce, and gender identity. With humor, vulnerability, and a deep reverence for both Scripture and lived experience, this Q&A episode pulls back the curtain on real Christian struggles in today's complicated cultural landscape. Drawing from listener-submitted questions, Mike and Andy unpack how to talk to your kids about sex, how the church mishandles singleness, why married Christians often struggle with sexual shame, what to do when your spouse transitions genders—and what it looks like to reflect Jesus in all of these tough spaces.
Key Takeaways: • Sexuality and the Church – Why the church's emphasis on abstinence and purity culture often fails to prepare people for healthy sexual relationships within marriage. • Being Single in a Married Church – The overlooked spiritual and emotional needs of single adults and why the modern church often alienates them. • Transgender Identity and Marriage – When one partner transitions gender identity, what does Christian faithfulness look like? A deeply human reflection on grace, betrayal, and discernment. • Teaching Kids About Sex – How Mike is raising his kids with an open, age-appropriate, and body-positive approach to sexuality grounded in wonder rather than shame. • Holy Frustrations – How polarized reactions on social media—like the recent backlash against Jen Hatmaker—show the urgent need for gracious, Christ-centered disagreement within the body of Christ.
