POP 336 - Left Brain Right Brain with Dr. Carol Tanksley - Part 1

In this amazing interview with Dr. Carol Tanksley, Tony had prepared 24 various interview questions to discuss with Dr. Carol. From the very beginning of the interview the discussion took on a life of its own, and by the end of the interview Tony had not asked Dr. Carol even one of the questions he had prepared. The interview was very spontaneous, lively, and unexpected. Dr. Carol Tanksley is an author, speaker, personal coach, licensed OB-Gyn physician, and an ordained Doctor of Ministry. She practiced medicine as an OB-Gyn physician and Reproductive Endocrinologist for over 29 years. While continuing to practice medicine, she also obtained an M.Div. (Master of Divinity), and then a D.Min. (Doctor of Ministry) from Oral Roberts University, focusing on Christian leadership. With her husband Al, Dr. Carol produced a regular radio program "The Dr Carol Show" from 2009 until not long before his death in 2016.

POP 335 - A Conversation with George Carneal - Part 4

In ths series of episodes Tony interviews author George Carneal on a wide range of various topics related to sexuality. George Carneal, author of "From Queer to Christ," grew up in the '70s, raised by a Southern Baptist minister in the ultra-conservative Bible Belt. For years he struggled with his Christian faith and a same-sex attraction. George shares his painful journey through a secular world at odds with homosexuality, in addition to a religious world that is hostile to homosexuals. Perhaps sharing his journey through the eyes, and mind, of a confused child dealing with a same-sex attraction will give some insight into the pain and difficulty of navigating these two worlds. George would eventually spend 25 years immersed in the homosexual lifestyle (mostly in the Los Angeles club scene) and shares the pitfalls of that life. His story is not about glamorizing a life he once lived. This is merely his journey and what he learned along the way. Deliverance from that bondage is possible. There is hope in Christ! George is a frequent speaker at churches, and conferences and has worked with pastors who are struggling with how to address the LGBT issue, with pastors and parents who are seeking guidance on how to help their LGBT children, as well as LGBT individuals who want out of that life. George has also appeared on many different radio, podcast, and television broadcasts including The Christian Television Network, D. James Kennedy Ministries/Truths That Transform, and The Christian Broadcasting Network – CBN. Tony interviewed George Carneal previously in episodes 212 - 215 of The Power of Purity Podcast. Can Christ heal a deeply wounded and broken man? Listen to this interview for the answer to this very important question! georgecarneal.com NOTE - Stay tuned for a few minutes of bonus conversation at the end of this episode!

POP 328 - Happily Ever After - Part 10

The purpose of The Power of Purity Podcast concerns the topic of human sexuality. What does it mean for us to experience and practice our sexual gift in a healthy way? What does it mean for us to practice our sexual gift in a way that's honoring to God? The answer to these questions, at least in part, concerns the context of relationship. The reason for this is because our sexual gift is intended to be expressed and experienced within the context of a healthy relationship. Said another way, it's a healthy relationship that creates the context for healthy sexuality, and because of that we need to do everything we can do to make our relationship as healthy as it can possibly be. In this series Tony shares the single most important principal necessary for successful relationship. This principle is so important that it's absolutely non-negotiable. If people do not understand this principle, and submit to this principle, and practice this principle, and cooperate with this principle, their ability to experience successful relationship will be seriously hindered, compromised, and sabotaged. In the same way a roofer must understand the reality of gravity, and function within the parameters of that reality, people in relationship must understand this non-negotiable relational principle. If a roofer violates the reality of gravity, he can be seriously harmed for such a violation, because he might fall off a roof and be seriously injured. And in much the same way, if people in relationship violate the non-negotiable relational principle that Tony's discusses in this series, their relationship will likely be seriously harmed. The content of this series can be a steppingstone toward healthier relationship, and healthier relationship can be a steppingstone toward healthier sex. Welcome to... Happily Ever After! Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ. Ephesians 5:21 Differentiation means that everybody get to be different. I get to be me, and you get to be you!
