Introduction

In this episode, I am joined by Dr. Katie McCoy to talk about her new book To Be a Woman: The Confusion Over Female Identity and How Christians Can Respond from B&H Publishing. Today, we discuss the rise of transgender ideology, the contours of the gender debate, and how Christians can love our neighbors by speaking uncompromising truth with uncompromising grace.
