A Christian Response to Pride Month, with Frank Turek 

Alisa, my son just graduated HS and his apologetics teacher gave him "Another Gospel?" as a graduation gift. He really appreciated what you had to say! He's starting his second summer as a CEF missionary. Blessings to you and Frank for standing with God and His truth!

Thank you for calling out the weak Christian’s and pastors who are being silent on these issues!

I LOVE IT when the LIGHT of righteousness shines through the darkness from those who belong to Christ!! Gal. 3:28 the spiritual battlefield we are engaged in is the struggle for identity. Satan's noose is tight on them but THANK GOD HE transferred us out of darkness and into Christ. HE IS STILL the chain breaker; these deceptions are as always, rebuked by the word of God. Tread on the serpents and scorpions, each and every lie of the wicked one, tear down strongholds that keep men in blindness and take captive every argument that raises itself against the knowledge of Christ! GOD BLESS YOU!!

Thankfully my pastor is not afraid to speak out!

As a Christian man, who has struggled with homosexual lust for my adult life, there is no PRIDE in this burden. It is a "thorn in my flesh." I am 49 years old now, so the desire isn't as strong as it used to be, but it never entirely goes away. ✝ 2 Corinthians 10:5 casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, ✝ 2 Corinthians 5:14 For the love of Christ compels us, because we judge thus: that if One died for all, then all died;

Thank you so much for this discussion! Praise God that we have Christians such as yourself and Dr. Turek standing for truth. Love you both!

Truly amazing how good common sense and truth feels.

After 20 years of working for Childrens Hospital Milwaukee, I left once I saw the writing on the wall with all this! About 1/2 the staff left too! So sad.

Thank you Alisa and Frank for speaking the Truth. And I just want to quick say that the Pastor of the Church I am a Member of is not afraid to (and does frequently) speak against all these issues, pointing us to the Truth of the Bible. Here in Michigan it may soon become illegal to do so. Prayers are needed.

As a commited jew (and a regular viewer of your channel) I'm glad to see people with the courage to speak out against transgender ideology and same-sex marriage. With the government against us it's a difficult battle but the country's children are at stake.

Thank you for this! So insightful.

Wow! What a great discussion! Thank you, Alisa and Frank!

Frank Turek is a fierce debater! Thanks!

This was SO good! Thank you, Alisa and Frank. I will be saving this to rewatch again and again.

I was just fired for saying pride is a sin. Big woke presented me with many allegations regarding my contact. I am glad to go. I was required to participate in DEI madness. My boss is trying to rescue me but can't. Get debt free. Stand firm.

Great information!! Love the perspective.

Growing up in the 50's and 60's I can't even fathom having not only this discussion but many of today's discussions during that period. It's obvious that the powers of darkness are working overtime right now.

My name is Newton. I'm from de South of Brazil. God blessyou my brother's !

This was great! Your discussion about toxic feminism reminded me of one of my all time favorite books: The Anti Mary Exposed: How To Rescue The Culture From Toxic Femininity by Dr Carrie Gress

First time viewer, As an Orthodox Christian from Nazareth of Galilee living in Florida, I found your podcast as spirit elevating and inspiring, God bless you and grant you GRACE of our Lord Jesus Christ

GREAT EPISODE. By far one of my favorites

Yep, lost my job because I refused to sign inclusion equality and diversity form. I told HR that there are eternal consequences for their decisions as well as for mine !!

Southern Evangelical Seminary is NOT the same institution as Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. I just figured this out after googling both. I keep hearing people talking on podcasts referencing "Southern Seminary". I thought they were the same place, and it was stunning to hear you praising what I thought was a woke seminary, Alissa. This is because I just saw a video of Dr. Fuller (on the "Conversations That Matter" RU-vid channel) describing how he was fired from "Southern Seminary", meaning Southern Baptist Theogical Seminary in Louisville Kentucky, because he refused to go woke. You might want to periodically point out the distinction between the two seminaries!

The stigma of a psychological problem puts a dark cloud over the labeling of gender dysphoria as a psychological problem- that as well as the history of abusive treatments of psychological problems (electro therapy, imprisonment, etc).

Feminist theory is very diverse and has so many branches. We can’t just bump them as one group. Irreversible Damage is a must read.

Excellent.

What alarms me is there are doctors willing to participate in this. How do doctors go from healing to this kind of surgery in which healthy bodies are being mutilated?

All of this is strong and clear. Thank You. But, it saddens me so that the body, something so beautifully made - YOU - can become a place of such confusion. Personally, when I know my thoughts are in agreement with God there is no confusion only contentment and His peace. This I pray for all those struggling with these terribly harmful thoughts. Not perfect, but, perfectly made.

Share Share Share this EVERY June. *🙏🏻🇺🇸🙏🏻 AGAINST this SINFUL SICK PERVERSION‼️

Thank you very much! (Sometimes I use the phrase "Biblically Correct".)

Thank you for your work in making this and putting it out there. So hard nowadays.

What is a woman? What is woke? Why does one side have simple answers to these questions and the other side avoids them? #1 You see a child drowning in a shallow pool and notice a person just watching that is able to save the child with no risk to themselves but is not, is that person moral? #2 If you go to save the child, the man tells you to stop as he was told it was for the greater good, but he does not know what that is, do you continue to save the child or stop? #3 Is it just to punish innocent people for the crimes of others? #4 If you were able to stop it and knew a person was about to grape a child would you stop it? #5 Would you consider an all knowing parent who put their kids in a room with a poison fruit and told the kids not to eat it but then also put a supernatural con artist in the room with the children knowing the con artist will get the kids to eat the fruit and the parent does nothing to stop it a good parent? Going to avoid the simple moral questions or are you honest enough to answer them?

One reason, if not the main reason pastors in Australia are avoiding preaching on the gender subject is that in Victoria, Australia you can now be criminally charged and jailed for engaging in prayers that are directed at a person to change or suppress their sexual orientation or gender identity cause harm and are prohibited. These could include "prayers that: ask for healing ask for a person to change ask for a person to not act on their attractions talk about a person’s brokenness or need to repent ask for long-term celibacy" (from government website). These type of laws are systematically being rolled out nationwide.

Thank you. 🤠

Wonderful wonderful conversation! Thank you both so much.

🏳️‍🌈 August is almost here! So early happy Gay pride month in Charlotte, North Carolina!❤️ I worked to organize the first gay pride parades back in the early 80s here in Charlotte. We were thrilled to have 200 people show up back then. Now , the parades have been drawing over 100,000 people. We are expecting well over that number next month. I am 65 years old and have such wonderful memories… ✨

I'm watching you here in California ☺️❤️

Great video.

THANKYOU ❤

A good rooster is worth his weight in gold!

Thank you for hacving this discustion!

Frank said, Christianity wants men to be more like women, then it would stand to reason that it would want women to be more like men.

It’s the small churches that are speaking out about these things.

If sex and gender are completely separate (in that sex is biological and gender is experiential/socially contructed), then why do we allow biological males to compete in women's sports?

The wicked need Christians so the wicked can unite and hate against. Sinners will devour each other once we are out of the way.

Anybody think there's a chance Obergefell will be reversed in light of other recent supreme court decisions?

If Pastors are silent in the pulpit; the people will be ignorant in the pews. Pastor Gary, Cornerstone Chapel

Truth Seems like Such a Nuisance, Huh?!

Pride goes before The Fall and a haughty spirit before the Destruction"

I played with Dump trucks and GI Joe dolls..I buried my dolls. I'm a mother of two biys and two grandkids. If I had been a girl in 2000s I'd probably be told I was a boy!

If your a doctor and do not want to trans a child but if you don’t you will be fired get fired. It’s better to not harm the children

Where in San Antonio?! 😃

21.59 Song of Deborah anyone. Jael is praised for the brutal killing of Sisera albeit through deception rather than pure force. I guess sometimes people just want revenge..

My daughter has fallen under the "trans" label. No talk of surgery, etc. But I'm sure it's a result of low self-esteem. She's very tomboy and overweight. So she just thinks she should have been a boy instead. Prayers needed!

In Canada we can go to jail because our faith believes

Do some research before speaking about other people.. Paul Stanley appears to be a non-practicing Jew, and his band mate Peter Criss is a strong/vocal Christian.

None- theless, some Natural Law Theorists argue that same-sex marriages cannot be true marriages and thus cannot be recognized by any state. These arguments are unpersuasive for two reasons. First, they under- mine each other in that they as readily establish that the state should recognize same-sex marriages as that it should not. Second, they at least implicitly involve a misunderstanding of the relation between Natural Law as a moral system and American domestic relations juris- prudence. Even if Natural Law had a determinative content which specified that same-sex marriages were morally impermissible, this would not establish what states must or even should do, because the (alleged) dictates of Natural Law are ignored in other areas of domes- tic relations jurisprudence regarding who may marry whom and re- garding the conditions under which marriages are recognized as legally valid. Indeed, not only does current domestic relations law re- ject the Natural Law rationales, but the individual and state interests implicated in marriage which have already been recognized in the law strongly support the recognition of same-sex unions. Part I of this article discusses Natural Law both as a legal theory and as a moral theory.2 In neither form will the dictates of the system be completely determinate.

Very disappointing that Pastors do not call out this evil!! WW2 Pastors just had the organ play louder when the trains went by😢 Cowards....read what the book of Revelation says about cowards. We need brave men to protect our children!! Soon come Lord! 🙏💜✝️

This is so immature, but it sounds like Frank let's out some gas at 46:23 🤣

And people say something like Hitler couldn’t happen in the USA. Really, when you start passing laws forcing me to comply, with someones pronouns etc….you as a nation are half way there. The constitution promises me free speech, freedom to worship etc.Slowly but surely were losing our freedoms.

Men, young men and boys need solid Godly men to teach, train and guide them.. not another well meaning woman.

Pastors are worried about losing their 501 C 3 cash flow.

Best point - you can change your mind, you can’t change your body/dna.

What is a they them?

I work for a large Fortune 500 corporation and it is very very woke and I am waiting for the day that I am pressured into pronouns and will have to take a stand and blacklist myself. As the source of income for my family and 7 years from retirement I am fearful. Frank’s suggestion to an HR conversation would not work, I’m sorry. When the culture is so blind to Christian rights they just won’t see it. They won’t accept any challenges to their own worldview. I will still have that conversation though should the time come because it needs to be said. I love what Frank said about his letter to the CISCO CEO. This was a great video. Thank you both.

Affirming the lie of homosexuality and transgender is not loving!

Sometimes the hen becomes the rooster

My experience of overhearing a conversation at a comic con. I was lined up in a line for a cosplay contest. A girl saying she's trans and autistic that She was saying a lot of dramatic things of what is saying stuff about online and her girlfriend. I get what the guy is saying about social media and yeah, but I think the majority saying they are transgender are more likely on the autistic spectrum and perhaps borderline personality disorder. I find those people end up being predators or these lost, broken kids subsceptipal to predators. My heart broke after talking to somebody the day before about looking at people through the eyes of God who are lost who do not know God or have rejected God. My heart broke for her.

The Bible clearly lays down rules to let bigots be bigots.

what we need to do is up hold all moral standards for everyone not just homosexual behaviors.

Amen! A soft heart and thick skin. Speaking truth in love. Thank You Alisa! 🙏🏼

Btw, guys: I'm from Ireland, but some good news from our neighbours in the UK the last day or two: the British Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak, just passed a law that kids under 18 (i think) can't be affirmed in their school as anything other than their biological gender, without their parents' permission.

Thanks for making sense, it's a refreshing change from false teachings and itching ears.

Always define or ask your friend in conversation, to define your/their terms. THAT is THE PROBLEM. The “love” that LGBTQETC DOES is “selfish” love that stimulates the “flesh”. Godly ‘love” or AGAPE love is “unselfish” and is concerned about the other person’s needs and boundaries, with respectful service. The EROS love, is only concerned with the selfish need to “feel” good. There are always exceptions to a real and undeniable principle. Jesus said,”Wisdom is proved right by her children.”

Preteens and teens that struggle socially or are just at an awkward age and trying to fit in, they can announce they are trans, ‘bi’, gay or whatever, suddenly get attention, acceptance and a badge of honor. Instantly they find the attention they want and a social circle that is, often, very openly antagonistic to God’s plan. Very deceptive and harmful for them to come to believe they have to change themselves to be accepted and be seen.

Historic Christianity is obeying Torah, the words of our Father. His Messiah told us to do so and warned of anyone not doing so. What we see most doing today IS NOT historic Christianity. It is 3rd century churchianity. NOTHING is "just given to us." We have to REPENT in order to be saved.

“We shouldn’t be looking down to animals but up to God.” Preach brother! Sometimes when brothers spit facts like this it makes me say “Whew!” Out loud!😂😂😂

Praise God for you both

Even as I struggle to support my children and myself I trust in you Lord. I know life gets hard but God please continue to give me the strength to keep going because I want to give up. Jesus hear my prayers. Heavenly Father I know you don’t give us more than we can handle. But Father God I’m losing hope. Since losing my job for declining the vaccine I’m constantly faced with financial hardships. I declined the vaccine because I have heart disease and lupus. I’m now waitressing but not making nearly enough to support my two boys. With both my sons being special needs it’s so expensive raising them. Jesus hear my cries. I’m so ashamed. Struggling to support my children has been so difficult also because I am a single mother. Struggling to buy groceries. Struggling to pay rent. It’s not easy but I’m keeping faith. Walking with faith not by sight!

Best so far (imho) take on these issues 👍🏻 keep up great work. God bless

Great discussion. Both of you are such amazing voices for truth. I love the rooster/ chicken talk.

I recently watched Gary Hamrick from Cornerstone Chapel preach about this - he calls it as it is. He's solid!

Transgender.....I can't accept who I am, but demand that you accept who I'm not.

Wonderful and hard hitting simple truth. By the way i can think of a few other well know pastors who boldly speak the truth regard the alphabet socila craze. John MacArthur, Justin Peters, Paul Washer, Voddie Bachum and many others who dont come to mind at the moment. Great advice Frank on how to address with work related issues! Next stop, to get the book!

Oh man Frank Turek's story is wild. I didn't know that. What's going on is insane.

Alisa, I love this conversation and others like it but wish you would link the websites that you discuss in your info. It's kind of frustrating when you promote a book but there is no link to it. Although I can try to find it, it would be greatly appreciated if you would put a link. I had this issue with the summit ministries conversation recently too. I had to search for it because although you quickly mentioned it, I didn't get it copied down soon enough and I had to search online to find it. A quick little link to your guests' websites or books would be appreciated. Thank you for your ministry!

46:51 Not because of that necessarily, though do agree it happens - but people/ pastors are trying to be careful, so that the church doors don't seem closed to any trans people. It's not going to be helpful to be 'hurtful' towards them, particularly if they are needing help/ looking for hope, but the church has, in their eyes, judged them to death. Churches should speak about these things, be truthful, no compromise, but, carefully and sensitively 👍🏻

Live Your Truth?! The book should be titled: Live God's Truth. There is only ONE truth.

This was wise and informative.

"Your identity is in Christ Jesus", this here solves all these problems.

It would be nice if Alisa had someone on her show who she doesn't completely agree with. And no one is more predictable than Turek.

Perversion is nothing to be proud of.

Thank you so much! What is the best way to handle a co-worker that wants you to use their pro-nouns?

Sexual orientation at work is still a thing that many get discriminated for. Especially back then you claim that everyone should be treated equal but with your beliefs you won't treat someone who is gay the same as someone is straight. You are persecuted because you're a Chirstian but because you hold hateful beliefs. Also people don't "know" gay or lesbian relations are bad because they aren't, not everyone gets a same sex marriage they are just as equal as a heterosexual relation no matter what you say because they both love each other, and both can create children with things like cirigate parents and adoption is also an option that helps children in those situations. If there was only heterosexual relation that doesn't change abortion that stays the same, and abuse can happen anywhere, and divorce is the exact same. Biblical beliefs are from an outdated time from the past beliefs change because that's how the world works, women used to be deemed criminally insane for holding any belief but now that has changed and same with slavery because that is how beliefs work because they update with the time as our knowledge grows. Homosexuality doesn't hurt anyone it just hurts your feelings due to your beliefs and that those people have rights and protection against your terrorism and hate crimes and speech. You can't just cherry pick one study that maybe talks about it hurting pelvic floor health in men and things like that but thats just one study compared to the thousands of peer reviewed credible ones talking about how it is perfectly safe. It sure as heck doesn't hurt you but maybe it is your sad little feelings and to that maybe just get over yourself and if it hurts the bible.. maybe just get a better book to follow if 2 people loving each other who are consenting adults that just happen to identify with the same sex goes against it. Your beliefs are also insanely inconsistent your book says not to get tattoos yet you guys still get those and you still wear different fabrics even though your book says not to.. due to the outdated beliefs... Trans isn't erasing genders it is showing how they aren't just binary and there aren't just two because non-binary people exist. Boys and Girls due exist but being a guy is different for each person and same with a woman and there are thousands of different categories at that point just in 2 groups along with the thousands of other cultures and the ones people identify as. So yes gay and lesbian exist because all genders exist. Protecting your child does nothing to help the world it only keeps them from understanding it to their full potential and makes their future worse with the beliefs you indoctrinated them into especially if they lose their faith with all the social programming you put into them at a young age. You are able to be a Christian and the world won't scream in horror and question you on why or how unlike if you're gay or trans you'll be pampered and your ideologies will be sheltered until you try voicing hateful rhetoric outside and people will shoot you down because protections others have. Your Christian persecution complex is insanely high might want to turn it down a bit before you get knocked over because your religion is not persecuted you don't know what being bullied or having mass shootings happen or even having your rights restricted all because you're gay or trans.

You guys are prophetic voices in the body, empowering people to live in truth.

So many great points, but when I am put on the spot, I forget them all

Roosters crow whenever they feel like it. It's not strictly time of day. My two female hens tried to attack and kill the third when she was weak and dying. I seriously hope chicken behavior is not the standard we are aiming for...

That Harry Potter game is AMAZING. Glad people are calming down about that already. Like, they have ZERO issue with other fantasy adaptation with wizards who are the good guy (i.e. Lord of the Rings) and even if they care, they are clueless when it comes to fantasy in general. I know it’s not the point but, FINALLY Christians aren’t being torn apart over nothing.

Very helpful. I think the tide here in UK may be already turning in terms of encouraging young children to identify as trans - as you mentioned, the clinic at the centre of puberty-blocking treatment has been forced to close. Interestingly, Frank, when I was eight, and like many of your friends, many of mine wanted to be space pilots or other exciting things, I wanted to be a doctor, and so the direction of my school education was simplified, and I did study medicine and worked as a Community Paediatrician. Incidentally, Joanne Rowling was brought up in church, and does consider herself a Christian, though not, I think, evangelical in outlook.

But they're still kids, when they grow up and move on in life a lot can change with their beliefs and indeed their questions that may lead to leaving the faith.
