Hey friends, welcome to another episode of Theology Nara.

Okay, this episode is going to be, well, it's going to be controversial.

I mean, this is Theology Nara in almost every episode is controversial, I think.

But this one is particularly sensitive.

Let me just give you a brief backstory on how I got in touch with Julie Maxwell, Dr. Julie Maxwell.

First of all, she's a pediatrician in the United Kingdom and has been, in the last several years,

hey, I loved your book and body. I do have a slightly different perspective on your position on

pronouns, like using someone's pronouns, or as some people say, using someone's preferred pronouns.

Okay, so, and so let me just, first of all, share just as concisely as I can kind of my perspective

on pronouns, often going to ask, you know, should you use, should a Christian use a person's

preferred pronouns? No, I just want to acknowledge some people don't like the term preferred

pronouns. Some people say, just call them your pronouns or their pronouns.

And so I thought through this question for quite a bit, quite a bit of time and have, I have a

whole good chunk of my chapter in my book and body deals with whether Christians should use

someone's pronouns if they don't match their biological sex. Okay, so if a male wants you to

call them she or her or, or maybe they them, you know, as another part of this conversation,

you know, should a Christian comply to that. Now, some people would say that it's

lying to use the pronouns of a person that don't, that doesn't match their biological sex.
