Guest: Dr. Christopher Yuan, author of Holy Sexuality and the Gospel, Out of a Far Country, and The Holy Sexuality Project Drawing from his own remarkable testimony, Dr. Yuan shares how God transformed him from a life marked by agnosticism, same-sex attraction, drug addiction, and promiscuity into a redeemed follower of Christ.  Dr. Yuan explains that the opposite of homosexuality is not heterosexuality, but holiness. God does not call us to redefine our identity around our desires; He calls us to find our true identity in Christ. https://holysexuality.com/ For more resources visit www.truthxchange.com

Sacrificing Our Children: Transgender Ideology and the Call to Faithfulness Mary Weller exposes the devastating human cost of radical gender ideology. Drawing from real-life stories, medical research, and her own frontline experience, she reveals how the “gender affirming” model — puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgeries — is inflicting irreversible physical and psychological harm on children, often leading to worse mental health outcomes and higher suicide risk, and not healing. Mary traces the spiritual roots of transgenderism to ancient pagan androgyny and modern Oneism — the worldview that erases God-given distinctions between male and female. She warns the church against silence or compromise, powerfully comparing our cultural accommodation to Lot’s willingness to sacrifice his daughters to appease the mob outside his door. This lecture was given at the inaugural “Peter Jones Lectures”– The God of Sex: Male and Female He Created Them.

Biblical Masculinity in a Confused Age Pastor Josh Smith addresses the growing hunger among young men to recover a true sense of masculinity. He contrasts the shallow cultural answers — money, muscles, and moxie — with the rich biblical vision of what it means to be a man. Pastor Smith shows how feminism has distorted both sexes: women are told to become like deficient men, while men are told to become more feminine. He exposes the toxic lies being sold to young men today and presents the biblical solution: manners (godly character and self-control), a mandate (the creation calling to work, lead, provide, and love a wife and children), and mentors (older men who intentionally disciple the next generation). This lecture was given at the inaugural "Peter Jones Lectures"-- The God of Sex: Male and Female He Created Them.

In this bold and convicting lecture, Rosaria Butterfield addresses three of the most powerful reigning idols of our day — abortion, feminism, and homosexuality. Drawing from her own testimony of leaving a lesbian lifestyle through the power of the gospel, Rosaria shares sobering frontline experiences at Planned Parenthood and exposes how these ideologies are not isolated social issues but interconnected expressions of Oneism — the pagan worldview that rejects God as Creator and blurs all biblical and creational distinctions. This lecture was given at the inaugural "Peter Jones Lectures"-- The God of Sex: Male and Female He Created Them.

In this powerful lecture, Dr. Peter Jones explores the deep connection between sexuality and theology. Far from being a peripheral issue, our understanding of sexuality reveals our most fundamental worldview — whether we live in light of the Creator/creature distinction (Twoism) or in the pagan denial of that distinction (Oneism). This lecture was given at the inaugural "Peter Jones Lectures"-- The God of Sex: Male and Female He Created Them.

Theology & Sexuality: Why They Belong Together Dr. Peter Jones joins Joshua Gielow and Mary Weller on the TruthXchange Podcast to preview his upcoming talk at the inaugural Peter Jones Lectures. At first glance, God and sex seem worlds apart — but Dr. Jones shows they are profoundly connected. Through the lens of Oneism vs. Twoism, he explains how our sexuality is never morally neutral. How sexuality either glorifies the Creator or worships creation. Male and female are not interchangeable — they reflect the Image of God and bear witness to the fundamental distinction between Creator and creature. Homosexuality and transgenderism, he argues, are modern expressions of ancient pagan Oneism that erase God-given distinctions.

Biblical Manhood in a Confused Age Joshua Gielow and Mary Weller are joined by Pastor Josh Smith of King’s Church in Columbia, SC. Pastor Smith, who will be speaking at the upcoming Peter Jones Lectures, unpacks a biblical vision of manhood rooted in Genesis 1 and 2 — where men are called to image God distinctly as male through strength, leadership, responsibility, and sacrificial love. Contrasting true biblical masculinity with “toxic masculinity,” exposing how the culture distorts good masculine traits (strength, courage, authority) when they are separated from God’s design. Pastor Smith addresses the influence of figures like Andrew Tate, the crisis of fatherlessness, and the hunger among young men for a clear roadmap to manhood. He emphasizes that masculinity is more moral than muscular — it is about self-governance, responsibility, and building civilization, beginning in the home. The discussion highlights practical discipleship through family worship, catechesis, intentional fatherhood, and rites of passage that help turn boys into godly men. Event Highlight: This conversation is a preview of Pastor Josh Smith’s lecture on Biblical Masculinity at the inaugural Peter Jones Lectures: “The God of Sex – Male and Female He Created Them.” Date: June 5–6, 2026 Venue: King’s Church, Columbia (Irmo), South Carolina Featuring Dr. Peter Jones, Rosaria Butterfield, Mary Weller, David Alexander, and Pastor Josh Smith. This is a must-attend event for anyone longing to see the church recover a robust, biblical understanding of sexuality and gender. Register today at truthxchange.com ($50 includes meals). Highly recommended for fathers, mothers, pastors, and young men navigating today’s cultural confusion.

The Lie of Feminism: Rejecting God’s Design for Womanhood Rosaria Butterfield joins Joshua Gielow and Mary Weller to discuss her upcoming lecture at the Peter Jones Lectures. Speaking as a former casualty of feminist ideology, Rosaria traces the roots of modern feminism from Mary Wollstonecraft through American feminism’s embrace of career over motherhood, Planned Parenthood, and the rejection of the female body. Rosaria contrasts feminist autonomy with the beauty and authority of God’s creation ordinance in Genesis — male and female He created them — and shows how feminism serves as the gateway to the broader LGBTQ+ spectrum.  This episode is a  call for the church back to biblical womanhood, godly patriarchy, and the safety found under Christ and His church. This is essential listening for parents, young women, pastors, and anyone seeking clarity on one of the most pervasive lies of our anti-Christian age.

Is your child’s classroom becoming a new kind of cathedral? Dean Broyles (National Center for Law & Policy) returns to the show to pull back the curtain on the rapid rise of yoga and mindfulness meditation in public schools. While these practices are often sold as "simple stress relief," the legal and spiritual implications run much deeper. We dive into the intersection of the First Amendment and Eastern spirituality, asking the tough questions: The Neutrality Myth: Is it possible to strip the religious "DNA" out of yoga and mindfulness? Legal Frontiers: How religious freedom is being redefined—and challenged—in the modern education system. The Creator/Creature Distinction: Why these "secular" practices are fundamentally at odds with a biblical worldview.

Today, we're delighted to welcome a very special guest: The Rt. Rev. Eric Menees, Bishop Ordinary of the Anglican Diocese of San Joaquin in the Anglican Church in North America (ACNA). Bishop Menees brings decades of faithful ministry, including his service in Spanish-language congregations, his leadership in border church planting, and his role as a voice for biblical orthodoxy in a rapidly shifting ecclesiastical landscape. In this episode, Bishop Menees joins the discussion to address some of the pressing challenges facing the ACNA—from navigating internal tensions and questions of unity, to core doctrinal matters like the authority and sufficiency of Scripture, the ongoing debate over women's ordination to the priesthood, and other vital issues at the intersection of theology, tradition, and contemporary culture. We're grateful for his wisdom and courage as we seek to proclaim and defend the unchanging truth of the gospel in our neo-pagan age. Let's dive in.

In a culture that increasingly trades objective reality for subjective "feelings," where is the line drawn between education and coddling? In this episode of the TruthXchange Podcast, hosts Joshua Gielow and Mary Weller sit down with Dr. Everett Piper. Dr. Piper, the former president of Oklahoma Wesleyan University and author of the best-seller Not a Daycare, has spent decades on the front lines of the battle for the American mind. Together, they explore the devastating consequences of abandoning Twoism—the biblical distinction between the Creator and the creation—for the seductive, self-focused "Pagan Pill" of Oneism. In this episode, we discuss: The State of the Student: Why today’s incoming freshmen are more "fragile" than ever and how a lack of worldview "fences" leads to cultural anxiety. The Crisis in Higher Ed: How the "Oneist" blurring of boundaries has turned universities from seekers of truth into centers of indoctrination. A Call to Parents: Essential advice for families navigating the "demographic cliff" and the high stakes of choosing a university that honors the Truth. Romans 1:25 in 2025: How Dr. Piper’s viral message connects to the core mission of TruthXchange—exposing the exchange of the Truth of God for a lie. About Our Guest Dr. Everett Piper is a national leader in the fight for academic freedom and biblical integrity. A contributing columnist for The Washington Times and a frequent guest on FOX News, Glenn Beck, and The Tucker Carlson Show, Dr. Piper is known for his viral op-ed, "This Is Not a Day Care, It’s a University." He was also a featured speaker at the TruthXchange 2011 Think Tank, "The Oneist Pagan Pill." https://dreverettpiper.com/

In this episode of the TruthXchange Podcast, Joshua Gielow and Mary Weller welcome Rev. Ben Glaser of the Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church for a timely and eye-opening conversation on racial realism—a rising ideology gaining traction among young men and even appearing within local churches. Rev. Glaser recounts his experience addressing this issue on the floor of the ARP General Synod, the unanimous adoption of his statement rejecting racial superiority, and why multiple Reformed denominations have since followed suit. Together, the hosts and Rev. Glaser explore the cultural pressures fueling this movement, its theological errors, the danger of “racial complementarianism,” and how Scripture gives Christians a far better, more faithful way to understand race, identity, and unity in Christ.
