Summary
As Baylor University faces controversy over recent LGBTQ-related campus events and questions about whether Christian institutions are experiencing theological drift, a larger issue emerges beneath the headlines: What is love? Increasingly, Christians are being told that the loving response is affirmation—but does Scripture define love that way? Baylor becomes a case study for a broader conversation affecting churches, schools, families, and individual believers.
In this episode, Alisa explores one of the biggest underlying questions shaping the church today: Is love merely acceptance and celebration, or does biblical love sometimes require difficult truths, correction, and courage?

| 0:00.0 | Are Christian colleges drifting toward LGBTQ ideology and is Baylor University the latest casualty? |
| 0:16.9 | Well, for the first time in its history, Baylor approved an event called All Our Neighbors, which was |
| 0:21.9 | supposed to be a counter event to a TPUSA meeting that was also happening on campus. |
| 0:28.1 | Now, this first came to my attention when a video was shared on social media from one of the |
| 0:33.3 | speakers, and we're going to watch that video together a bit later in the show. |
| 0:37.2 | I'm going to catch you up with all the details about what's going on at Baylor, and then we're going to watch that video together a bit later in the show. I'm going to |
| 0:37.6 | catch you up with all the details about what's going on at Baylor, and then we're going to |
| 0:41.3 | focus on the bigger idea that often underlies the drift that we see both in institutions, |
| 0:48.7 | but also in the hearts of people. It's a good wake-up call, a good discernment check for all of us. |
| 0:54.1 | Today's show is brought to you |
| 0:55.5 | by WeHeart Nutrition, a Christian-owned high-quality supplement company. Go to WeHeartnutrition.com |

| 1:07.5 | all the details in a moment, but first, I want to let you know about an event |
| 1:11.5 | that's coming up in July. Toward the end of July, it's called Cross-examined Instructor Academy. |
| 1:17.6 | This for about the last 10 years has been the event that I look forward to most every single |
| 1:23.6 | year. I can't even believe it's been 10 years that I've been going to CIA. I first went in |
| 1:29.0 | 2016, and it is truly what launched what I do today. And what it is is if you're somebody who |
| 1:35.1 | loves to study apologetics, you love to dive into the reasons why we believe the Bible is God's |
| 1:41.0 | word, that Jesus is who he said he is, that Christianity is true, and the best |
| 1:44.9 | explanation for reality, you know that sometimes that can be a bit of a lonely place, especially |
| 1:50.5 | in churches. I don't know exactly why this is the case, but often there's a bit of resistance |
| 1:55.4 | to apologetics in churches. And so people who love apologetics often feel kind of isolated and alone, |
