Can Christians hold fast to biblical convictions about marriage and still radically love their LGBTQ+ neighbors?

In this deeply honest and thought-provoking conversation, Dr. Preston Sprinkle, president of the Center for Faith, Sexuality & Gender, joins Will Wright and Josh Burtram to explore one of the most polarizing conversations in the church today.

Drawing from his books People to Be Loved and Does the Bible Support Same-Sex Marriage?, Dr. Sprinkle unpacks how to hold theological clarity with pastoral compassion—and why kindness isn’t weakness but a biblical command. The discussion ranges from Jonathan Haidt’s moral psychology to the difficulty of having civil discourse in today’s polarized climate, and even touches on the civic versus theological tension around marriage and religious freedom.

If you’ve ever wondered how faith, love, and truth can coexist in modern America, this episode will stretch your mind and soften your heart.
