Summary

In today’s episode, we talk about the unraveling of Biola University—once known as the Bible Institute of Los Angeles, now revealed as a flagship for social-justice Christianity. Seth is joined by journalist Megan Basham to break down her explosive Daily Wire investigation that exposed Biola’s endorsement of an LGBT club, its provost’s critical race theory roots, professors practicing divination, chapel speakers condemning white people, and the administration’s public stance against “gay conversion therapy.” Together, Seth and Megan dissect Biola’s attempted response on its Thinking Biblically podcast—where the university conspicuously avoided naming her or the article that sent shockwaves through its donor base. They expose the evasions, the ideological drift, and the spiritual cost of a Christian university that appears more committed to cultural approval than biblical truth. If you’ve wondered what’s really going on behind the curtain at Biola, this episode lays it bare.

0:00.0	The president of biola says the psychology department doesn't believe in or practice conversion therapy.
0:05.5	According to the culture and the way that phrase is defined, simply telling a teenage boy that thinks they're a girl, that they're not a girl, would be conversion therapy.
0:13.5	That's the funny thing about these statements is in the statement, he says we're going to align with federal law, but at the same time we're going to tell all students, even if you're here illegally, that not only are you welcome here, but you belong here. If you're
0:24.3	telling them, you belong here even though you're breaking the law, I would argue you are encouraging

1:35.7	emails, podcast conversations, phone calls to that institution.
1:41.2	Biola then posted a response to Megan Basham's article, which they refused to
1:45.6	acknowledge the source or the author on their thinking biblically podcast with the president
1:50.6	of the university. Megan and I are going to dig into their response and expose what the heck is
1:56.0	going on at this so-called Christian University. Okay, guys, Merry Christmas.
