I'm your host Scott Ray, Dean of Faculty and Professor of Christian Ethics Talbot School

of Theology here at viola University.

And I'm your co-host, Sean McDow, Professor of Christian Apologetics at Talbot School

of Theology, Biola University.

We're here with our special guest today, Dr. Jennifer Morris. I've known Jennifer for some time through our affiliation with the Acting Institute.

She is the founder and president of an organization called the Ruth Institute headquartered in Louisiana and

the will Jennifer I'll let you articulate the the purpose and goal the Ruth

Institute in just a moment but our listeners I think would also,

I think be interested to know, you have an academic background. You have a PhD in economics.

I taught at George Mason University for several years before starting the Ruth Institute and

moving into a ministry of travel and speaking and writing, particularly in this

area of serving particularly women who have been the victims of the sexual revolution.

So we're also featuring your new book entitled the sexual state, which we'll get into more of the details on that as our discussion goes along.

But first, tell our listeners a bit about what is the Ruth Institute and what is its mission.

The Ruth Institute is a global nonprofit organization that equips Christians to defend their beliefs about marriage and family and human sexuality

so that we can create a culture of lifelong married love.

And we do that through events like this, a podcast, website, personal appearances by me, and also publications and events that we put on.

Okay, let's turn to your book here. I love the talk. put on the

the book here I love the title of this entitled the sexual state you got a

picture of the on the cover of what looks like a sort of view of the church but it could also be it the ideologies are destroying lives and why the church was right all along.

So tell our listeners who are the victims of the sexual revolution.
