Can someone be born in the wrong body? Does our “personhood” exist apart from our physical body? Do some people have male bodies yet female brains or vice versa? Do others have female bodies but male souls? These are big questions that individuals, families, churches, and our culture are wrestling with. In this week’s episode, we welcome Author and Theologian Preston Sprinkle for an intriguing conversation on issues related to transgenderism and gender dysphoria.

While it has been around for a long time, the Enneagram (an ancient personality typing system) has become quite a hot topic recently. Some people are really passionate about it and love sharing their “number” with others. Others are concerned about it because of its mysterious background. Greg and Eric welcome Jan Sampeck, a pastor and leader who has researched the Enneagram and found it to be helpful in her spiritual journey and relationships with others. Join us as we discuss the background and questions around the Enneagram, and how tools like it can help us love those who may not see the world the way that we see it.

It’s hard to go too long today without hearing a story about sexual misconduct (or really just misconduct in general) from men in positions of power. Not only has this issue dominated our culture recently, it has also been incredibly divisive, generating strong opinions and challenging conversations – anywhere from politics to Supreme Court confirmations to office workplaces. The church isn’t outside of this conversation either. In fact, it’s often found itself front and center, bringing up all sorts of issues around how women and men relate to one another in the body of Christ. Greg and Eric are joined by Cindy Park, Caroline Johnston, and Stephanie Stanesic, who share their personal experiences both inside and outside of the church, and how the church can become a place of hope, healing, and helpful dialogue around issues of #MeToo, sexual misconduct, and women in the church.
