Summary

Alisa Childers recently had Dr. Christopher Yuan on her YouTube channel to discuss various problems they see in what they call "Side B Christianity," and my name often came up in their critiques. They also offered several critiques of the Exiles in Babylon 2024 conference, which I hosted last month. In this episode, I work through their conversation and respond to several things where I believe they have misrepresented what I actually believe. My goal in this episode is not to attack Alisa or Christopher, nor is it to stir up disunity; rather, I simply want to clarify what I believe about important matters related to sexuality and gender, especially in places where others are claiming I believe things that I actually don't. Here's the original YouTube conversation between Alisa and Christopher: https://youtu.be/aRNC9b_SZto?si=-5-dCclHfD-ySeFR Support Theology in the Raw through Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theologyintheraw

0:06.4	I'm going to do something that I don't do often,
0:10.3	but I do do periodically time to time I want to respond to a fairly lengthy dialogue between
0:17.5	Alyssa Childers and Dr. Christopher Yuon that they had on a list of Childers podcast, YouTube channel that I watched a couple
0:26.8	weeks ago. I always debate whether I should do these kind of response podcasts or videos because it's not typically my
0:37.4	amo. I get you know criticism for me is just Tuesday like it's just it's just a
0:42.4	part of it's a rhythm of my life. It's just
0:44.4	something that for anybody who decides to write publicly to speak publicly you
0:49.7	just you're you're going to get criticism especially if you dive into controversial topics like I typically do.
0:55.0	So it's not, it's not, it's not abnormal for me to wake up in the morning and someone says,
1:01.0	hey, did you see what someone's saying about you, whatever so and so you know 90 plus 95 plus
1:06.3	percent of the time I just don't you know I'm like yeah cool you know

1:22.4	consider but I do I did decide to respond to this
1:28.0	conversation with Alyssa and Christopher you on I guess largely because partly out of respect for them, like I actually really
1:36.8	respect them as thinkers, as Christian leaders. I think they have a lot of good to offer the church.
