The Side B Trap: Why “Gay Christian” Is Not the Freedom Christ Offers | ATT#222
1w ago01:16:25Tap to summarizeIn this timely conversation, Brady Cone (founder of Calibrate Ministries) joins us to discuss the Side B approach to ministering to those who struggle with same sex attraction. Several major Christian institutions use the Side B approach to disciple college students, including Biola University and CRU. Brady draws from his own journey out of the LGBTQ life to explain what Side B actually teaches, how it differs from both Side A and biblical discipleship, and why labeling ourselves by our attractions undermines the full freedom the gospel provides. We explore the real-world impact of Side B on identity and one’s walk with Christ. If you’re walking this road yourself or walking alongside someone who is, this episode offers biblical clarity, compassion, and the lasting freedom found in Christ alone.

Aug 1601:13:50Tap to summarizeSchools are changing fast—far beyond reading, writing, and arithmetic. Dive into a thought-provoking discussion on the challenges parents face in navigating today’s public school system, including the impact of Social Emotional Learning (SEL), the Whole School, Whole Community, Whole Child (WSCC) model, and controversial policies like California’s AB495 and Illinois’ mandatory mental health screenings for grades 3-12 starting in the 2027-28 school year. As Christian parents, we’re called to steward our children’s hearts and minds (Deut. 6:6–9; Prov. 1:8; Eph. 6:4).
