Summary

Sex change operations have been around for some time but with recent headlines about "Caitlyn" Jenner, transgender issues are a hot topic and something every Christian must be discerning about. So how should we think of our bodies? Is a sex change gender denial, body mutilation, or result of a mental disorder? If someone is converted after they've had a sex change … what then? Should they reverse the operation? Pastors, this is a show you can't miss. The probability of facing this scenario in your congregation is real and the malleable minds of covenant children are in need of godly wisdom to offset enticing, secular lies. As the Kinks said: "It's a mixed up, muddled up, shook up world," and they've never been more right.For this week's Bully Pulpit, the Alliance of Confessing Evangelicals would like to give away a couple free copies of Biblical Personhood and Gender Confusion.

0:00.0	Welcome to Mortification of Spin, bully pulpit, a casual conversation conversation about things that count with Carl Truman, Todd Pruitt, and Amy Bird.

0:57.5	Well, today we want to talk about a topic that hit the headlines, well, big time
1:02.9	three or four weeks ago, but was really occupying some of the gossip magazines for many
1:09.5	months now, and that is the sex change operation,
1:12.8	which the former Olympic athlete and one-time connectee to the Kardashian clan, Bruce Jenner,
1:21.1	has undergone. Most recently, of course, he appeared on the cover of Vanity Fair in a very scantily clad in a
1:29.7	very sort of provocative pose, and this created something of a media firestorm in terms of
1:34.5	discussion.
1:35.8	Now, transgender issues have been touted as the next gay issue, that these are going to
1:41.9	be the big questions of this decade. Many people now regard the gay issue that these are going to be the big questions of this decade.
1:45.6	Many people now regard the gay issue is essentially decided, done and dust it,
1:52.6	and we now have to address transgender matters.
1:55.9	So clearly this is going to press in on the church.
1:58.6	If your church has not been impacted by this already,
2:02.1	probably at some point in the next 10 or 15 years, the transgender issue is going to come
