An evaluation of the sexual identity construct, part one, on this edition of Truth and Love.

I'm Dale Johnson, and you're listening to Truth and Love, a podcast of the Association of Certified Biblical Counselors,

where we seek to provide biblical solutions to the problems that people face.

I'm so delighted to have with me today, Seth Lehman. Seth is new to our listeners, but I'm so excited to introduce all of you to him.

Seth, is the senior pastor of Noblesville Baptist Church in Noblesville, Indiana, where he has served for 14 years.

He's a graduate of Faith Bible Seminary with an MDiv, the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary,

and he's currently a Ph.D. student here at Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary.

He's also an ACBC certified counselor, and Seth is married to Karen, and they have nine children.

Seth, I'm so glad and delighted that you are here talking about this subject of sexuality,

sexual identity constructs, and how we as counselors can think thoroughly through the worldview behind it.

So thank you for being here.

It's great to be here.

Now, you've done a lot of work in your

PhD studies here, and I do think it's important. Like we have a lot of people saying in the

biblical counseling world how to address these types of issues with sexuality and the

ideas of homosexuality and transgenderism and how do we approach these things and their debates about,

you know, she would use their preferred pronouns and all this kind of stuff. I think as we think

through some of these issues, we definitely don't want to neglect biblical truth as it relates to

putting off and putting on and how we address sin in the hearts of people. That's not what we're

saying. What we're saying.

What we're trying to say is we want to look at a worldview that's behind some of this.

So we're not neglecting any of that.
