Summary
Today we talk with Carl Trueman about his latest book, Strange New World: How Thinkers and Activists Redefined Identity and Sparked the Sexual Revolution. In a time where much cultural conversation focuses on gender identity, we often wonder, "How did we get here?" Carl offers insight into how our culture has been formed and what we can do to help bring the beauty of God's design back to our communities.
