"Does God punish us for our sexuality?"
Podcast from January 4, 2023

Ken shows how we as Christians can (with gentleness and respect) have open and honest conversations about where the church has fallen short in our conversations about LGBTQ+ issues, the mindset Christians should have (but many do not) when discussing the topic, but at the same time staying true to God's teaching.

"Does God Value Women Less Than Men?"
Class taught July 16, 2019

​Is the Bible sexist? A common objection raised against Christianity is that God, especially in the Old Testament, is misogynistic. But do the scriptures actually bear this out? In reality, just like other issues we have studied in this class, when we look at the Bible in its historical and cultural context we see God dramatically challenging the patriarchy of the time and affirming the equal value of both men and women.
