Sexuality Archives - Stand Up For The Truth: Recent Episodes
David Fiorazo
Mary welcomes Thomas Littleton to this edition of SUFTT to talk about the descent into compromise over LGBTQ inclusion theology in conservative – yes, conservative – churches. Thomas Littleton is an ordained Southern Baptist minister and evangelist with over 4 1/2 decades on the streets of such places as New Orleans, Atlanta, and New York City (while in New York he worked with David Wilkerson’s Times Square Church, author of The Cross and the Switchblade). He has also done extensive outreach at America’s beaches, university campuses, and foreign fields of Eastern and Western Europe and Central and South America. He has a long history engaging the Arts and LGBT community through heading a Christian Arts based ministry in NW Georgia and worked on the front lines of the AIDS health crisis of the mid 80s and 90s. Littleton knows the origins, methods and goals of the LGBTQ activist movement and the faithful Biblical response for believers anchored in the power of the Gospel by the CROSS and resurrection of Jesus. We talk about his fight for truth over the last dozen years to hold high the standard of the gospel and the truth that can transform any sinner by the power of the Holy Spirit.

[Original airdate: 9/11/23] Terra Koslowski and Josh Parise, Founder/Director or Ephesians 5 Ministries talk with Nate Danser, Vice President for Ministry Outreach at Pure Life Ministries about the connection of pornography addiction and the demand for human trafficking. Human trafficking is the second largest criminal industry in the world. In order to eradicate it, we must address the demand and issues contributing to the demand. Many people want to join the fight against human trafficking, but don’t realize that their own secret sinful behaviors, might be part of creating the problem. Sexual sin is prevalent in the church, but those involved tend to struggle in secret believing the lie that it’s a harmless small sin. Nothing could be further from the truth! It is a serious issue that destroys lives, families, churches, and victimizes others. Nate has served at Pure Life Ministries since 2009 after finding healing from habitual sexual sin in their residential program in Dry Ridge, KY. In addition to discipling other men through their recovery journeys, Nate oversees audio and video production and social media for Pure Life Ministries as well as hosting their weekly podcast, Purity of Life.

Mary welcomes back Jim Farrington of First Stone Ministries whose primary purpose is to lead the sexually and relationally broken into a liberating relationship with Jesus Christ. In this podcast, we look at the perpetuation of twisted gender-bending ideology across different media. From a new documentary featured at Sundance Film Festival, to a second documentary about the search for manhood in a culture that doesn’t value it, we certainly are living in a time when Satan has ratcheted up the fight against humans who are made in God’s image. Of course it is deeply spiritual at the core and the ministries that come alongside these unhappy victims are on the frontlines of the tough fight for men’s – and women’s- souls.

Play EpisodeTODAY’S GUEST: author Rusty Thomas of Operation Save America, public speaker, and author of the book, Biblical Strategies to Abolish Abortion. In 1985, he founded Elijah Ministries, a teaching, preaching, and writing ministry dedicated to imparting a Biblical worldview to the Church of Jesus Christ.
Until the church is just as concerned with God’s justice and righteousness in the earth as it is God’s love, grace, and forgiveness, the current trend – modern holocaust – will continue until America has gone the way of other empires that murdered their babies and paraded their sin like Sodom. *Biblical Strategies to Abolish Abortion is available on Amazon. If you want a copy or multiple copies for your church or group, please email your address to Rusty Thomas at rtosa13@yahoo.com.David and Rusty Thomas discuss the spiritual roots of abortion in this life and death battle that the church began to lose by opening the door for exceptions. We also talk about the need for today’s pulpits to again be “aflame with righteousness” as they were 200 years ago; the Kansas vote on abortion restrictions and how the left has deceived the public and changed language. We also challenge the church to stand on the authority of the Bible on this and every issue.
“We have no idea how much abortion has impacted the credibility of the Church in America. When we say, “Abortion is murder” but we don’t act like babies are actually dying, our words ring hollow” –Rusty Thomas
“We have endured about a half a century of slaughtering pre-born Image-bearers in the United States of America… now totaling in the dozens of millions, it can only occur in a nation at war with God and His Word. Child sacrifice has a long and dark tradition amongst mankind…” Pastor Jeff Durbin

Kinsey’s promotion of sexual activity at any age laid the groundwork in the 1940s for the normalization of adultery, homosexuality, and transgender movement today, and could logically lead to destigmatizing pedophilia. People need to understand the facts and history about Kinsey that have been downplayed, denied, or whitewashed.

Most people forget the American Psychological Association (APA) in 1973 removed homosexuality from the DSM-2 (The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders) due to pressure from gay activists. Will they do the same with pedophilia?
And just a few years ago the American Psychological Association even launched a task force designed to remove the “stigma” associated with polygamy, even going so far to give the lifestyle its own politically correct term – “consensual non-monogamy.”
The earliest Gay Pride parades included NAMBLA (North American Man-Boy Love Association) members who later were prevented from marching. For years there have been efforts to erase age of consent laws, a goal of the LGBTQ+ platform since the 1970s.

Sherry Vill, 55, alleged on Monday that Cuomo grabbed her face and kissed her cheeks in front of her home in 2017.
"I know the difference between an innocent gesture and a sexual one," Vill said during a virtual press conference. "I never felt as uncomfortable as I did the day Governor Cuomo came to my house. His actions were very overly sexual, highly inappropriate and disrespectful to me and my family."

What could the Left possibly want after same-sex marriage and transgenderism? Try polygamy. The media laughed off groups like FRC when we warned about that 15 years ago. Now, a decade and a half later, with American parents in the fight of their lives over girls' sports and city councils endorsing three-person relationships, it turns out we were right. The LGBT's fight was never about marriage -- it was about every sexual and social norm.

We are bombarded with sexual ideas and images. The world would have us believe any kind of sexual gratification is normal and healthy. Satan would have us believe the lie that we deserve to be happy - which includes acting on any form of sexual expression to fulfill our lustful desires.
From Hollywood and the media to Television and the Internet, we can't get away from the assault of sexual imagery. But as Christians, it's what we do with those temptations and how/if we act on them, giving into sin. Don't give up, there is hope!

Sexual intimacy between a man and his wife are a great gift from God. This relationship is a human representation of the deep intimacy Jesus wants with His bride, the church. When a man and his wife are sexually intimate there is a deep physical, emotional and spiritual bonding that God blesses.
But as Satan often does, he takes something beautiful from God and twists it to deceive people. Today, rampant sexuality has led to destruction and disaster: abortion, broken marriages, divorce, and sexual brokenness and even gender confusion.
Pastor Mike Abendroth of No Compromise Radio joins Mike and David to discuss the beauty of biblical sexuality and the snare of sexual sin that has led to dramatic moral decline in our nation.

The American Psychological Association recently released a study calling out what it perceives as the dangers of traditional masculinity warning that it leads men to hating women and LGBTQ people. As men are "marketed" to by corporate America we see confusing messages on what it means to be a man these days.
Are we to be the strong, silent, rugged, macho guy? Or the sensitive, nurturing, submissive guy who sits back quietly and just accepts things the way they are?
If we listen to the world we will be continually confused about what it means to be a man. But not surprisingly God's Word has a lot to say about what real men are.
This morning, Mike discusses this issue with Dave Wager of Nicolet Bible Institute. What does it mean to be a man of God in today's world?
We also look at an interesting perspective from a Christian musician who says that youth these days are being conditioned to worship their own self-image, and since the world is sending wrong messages to our youth about what their image should look like it is leading to dire consequences for an entire generation.

God created men and women equal but uniquely different. In His master plan, men are to be strong and loving leaders and wives are to respectfully submit to their husband's leadership. The Christian church in America needs real godly men, but at the time when they are needed most many are confused about what it means to be a true man of God. The world and its institutions that hate God have successfully minimized and redefined manhood, reducing many men to confused, quivering bowls of jelly instead of principled, strong leaders for the church and their families. And some believe that church leadership is also responsible for accommodating this feminizing of Christian men because they are not teaching us what it means to be Godly leaders of wives, families, and communities.
Pastor Carl Gallups joins us to discuss how society's emasculation of men is infecting American Christianity, leading to dire consequences.

There is no doubt we live in a sexually-charged society. God has given us clear definitions and teachings about sexual relations and gender, but society has brought confusion, and many people - young and old - are suffering the consequences. Homosexuality is practically accepted and promoted and young people especially, are facing depression and emptiness because they have become confused about their God-given gender.
God's Word gives us all the knowledge and instruction we need to correctly understand sexuality. It provides the answers to everyone's questions but for some reason, with our culture rapidly deteriorating and even sincere Christians facing sexual challenges, some believe that the church has been generally silent.
Are pastors responding to sexual challenges within the church and society? And if not, why? Daniel Weiss of Brushfires Foundation joins us to share the findings from a comprehensive study about if and how pastors and churches are meeting the challenges of church members and society regarding sexual questions and confusion.

It is interesting how two people can view the same exact facts and evidence, yet come to two completely different conclusions based on those facts. Born-again believers look at the wonders of this world and the created universe completely convinced it was all crafted by an amazing God. But atheists and skeptics look at the same evidence and facts and conclude that it all happened out of random chance and chaos.
As the world started introducing ideas such as free sexual expression in the 1960s and gender fluidity in the 2000s, they touted the benefits of experimentation while we as born-again believers saw serious dangers. In our final, segment, Mike and David will share some of the effects of this movement to see who was right.
But first, Carl Kerby of Reasons for Hope Ministries joins the program to talk about how Christians can use the evidence of creation all around us to point people to the truth of God and His Word.

Watch television for any length of time and you are sure to see ads for new medications promising to make your life better. And while many of these drugs have dangerous side effects, the Pharmaceutical Industry continues to make billions of dollars peddling the latest "cure" for the latest problems of life. Anti-depression medications have saturated the market and record numbers of American children are now being medicated for ADHD. Today, Mike and David discuss the dangers of over-medication and the long term effects on mental health.
On a related subject we look at two interesting, yet very sad articles that are becoming all too common in these days. First, the number of young girls struggling with "gender identity" is skyrocketing; and second, a professor in Sweden is under attack for stating something so obvious that only a fool would argue that he is wrong. Is there a connection between over medication and the intellectual insanity permeating every aspect of society?

Jack Phillips, the Colorado cake baker, won his appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court yesterday in a 7-2 ruling some are calling "narrow." Phillips was fined and nearly put out of business by the State of Colorado for refusing to use his artistic abilities to produce a wedding cake for a homosexual couple. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in his favor and chastised the State of Colorado for its mocking of his Christian faith.
But was this a "landmark" decision that will have long term impact or a limited ruling that leaves more questions than answers? We'll discuss this with Dave Wager of Nicolet Bible Institute and Silver Birch Ranch. We will also talk about things that differentiate true Christians from the world - including how we handle life's trials and troubles.

We first check in with Tina Marie Griffin, Counter-Culture Mom to discuss ways to protect our children from poisonous movies, games, and social media, as well as the graphic sexualization of public school children. We also touch on Boy Scout & Girl Scout Alternatives: Trail Life USA, “a Christ-centered outdoor adventure, leadership, and character development ministry.” And a parallel organization for girls, American Heritage Girls, good to know given the ideologies (such as Planned Parenthood) driving the Girl Scouts these days.
The disturbing subject of segment 2 sounds like some twisted plot in some Hollywood movie, but there is actually a movement (on-line community) that seems to justify senseless killing of innocent people because they have been rejected in their sexual advances toward women. It is known as "INCEL Movement" which stands for "involuntarily celibate," and there have been at least 32 deaths linked to them so far. This rotten fruit is a result of pornography and the sexual revolution.

Freedom is a precious gift; a gift that must be cherished and protected against those who would seek to enslave us. While Christians around the world suffer from increased persecution, and we here in America see our freedoms being threatened, there is an even more precious freedom we must guard and protect: The freedoms given to born-again Christians by the grace and Spirit of God.
Twice in his first letter to the Corinthian Church Paul warned about the importance of tempering freedoms with responsibility. He said regarding what we consume that all things were lawful, but not necessarily beneficial and warned against the things we consume becoming our masters. Today in America there is much that vies for our attention and affection. How do we enjoy the freedoms of this life as disciples of Jesus without allowing ourselves to be led into bondage to them?
Dave Wager of Nicolet Bible Institute and Silver Birch Ranch has written and taught extensively on how we find the correct biblical balance between enjoying good things God has given us while not elevating them to a place of 'worship" in our lives.

We start with a basic truth: All humans are sinful and rebellious against God until the grace of God opens our eyes to our sin, leading us to confession, repentance and believing in Jesus Christ as our Savior and Lord of our lives. If not for the grace of God, any one of us could be deceived into believing the lies we hear throughout our culture and even in the church. Many of us who have been enlightened and saved by faith will struggle with temptation and sin until the day we die.
Today we tackle the growing confusion regarding sex, gender, identity, and sin and what we can do to lead others to the truth of God and His Word. For twenty years, Mike Levenhagen of Reclamation Resource Center has been dedicated to speaking the truth in love to those not only imprisoned to homosexual or gender-related lies, but also to those who struggle with heterosexual lust and adultery. Check out the podcast and hear Mike's testimony.

As we become a post-Christian nation the natural effect is that absolute truth becomes a thing of the past, replaced by "individual morality". As we have systematically ushered God and His Word out of government and public education, we are seeing a generation of youth deceived and manipulated because they have been taught that God is a myth and it is up to them to make the world a better place.
Our youth have been led to believe they are being empowered to lead this world when in reality they are being conditioned for slavery to serve the elite of the new world order who consciously or not are serving the father of lies, Satan himself.
In our final segments we will look at how government and media are polluting the minds of our children through harmful legislation and television series such as "13 Reasons Why" which documents suicide among teens and has reportedly led to more suicides by youth who watch the series.
But first, where did we start to lose our children and what can we do to fight and reverse the influence of the radical left that has its fingers everywhere including education, government, media and increasingly even mental health care? Dr. John Rosemond joins us to discuss the dilemma and what we can do about it as parents.

Millions of people celebrate Valentine's Day today and the influences of this world have men and women spending billions of dollars on flowers, chocolate, romantic dinners and getaways. And the man-made vision of a fat little cherub firing arrows at people inducing love seems to reinforce a faulty belief: that love is something that happens to us without a choice, like a chemical reaction or a feeling we just cannot fight.
But what exactly is love according to God's Word? What should a strong, loving marriage look like? And why do nearly half of all marriages end in divorce? This sad reality even strikes professing Christians. Where are we going wrong?
We're joined by Pastor Jeff Solwold of Calvary Chapel in Madison, Wisconsin to discuss God's definition of love and His guidelines for a joyous marriage that glorifies Him, one in which honors one another. How do we as committed Christians have strong marriages even when things do not go according to our human desires, expectations, and plans?

We face an enemy who is crafty, experienced, and evil; Satan is 'the father of lies.' Ever since his unsuccessful rebellion against God at the beginning of time he has honed his craft, finding innovative ways to attack the children of God in hopes of discrediting the gospel message.
Today, Christians face increasing discrimination and ridicule in our nation. Fueled by Hollywood, media, public education, and a progressive government, we are seeing the rights of religious expression and worship attacked on several fronts. Cities and states are passing laws forcing Christian churches and organizations to choose to either approve of and support immoral, unbiblical values or risk being shut down.
But the enemy we face is clever and devious and never puts all his eggs in one basket. He is also stirring up problems within Christian churches and ministries by attacking our compassion for others. Churches and ministries are committed to ministering to anyone seeking help or hope. But the enemy has sent "spies" into our camp attempting to undermine our work. We are seeing frivolous lawsuits aimed at discrediting and even shutting down faithful warriors for Christ in order to intimidate the church.
In our second segment, we share the sad story surrounding Ravi Zacharias, a respected Christian leader dedicated to sharing the gospel and loving others, who was falsely accused of sexual improprieties even though it appears he did everything he could to be above reproach.
In segment three, we touch on the opening arguments of the Supreme Court case involving Christian artist and bakery chop owner, Jack Phillips, who is simply asking not to be forced to take part in gay marriages.
In our first segment we check in with Tina Griffin of Counter Culture Mom to discuss how we protect our children against the horrible influences of movies and video games. We also discuss the increased sensitivity to sexual harassment in our nation and the downside of 'guilty until proven innocent.'

It is difficult to pick up a newspaper or open the internet without seeing another example of how media, schools and businesses are falling all over each other to comply with the demands of the LGBTQ in order to be "gender inclusive." And with the sudden exposure of sexual harassment charges against men in high positions, it is a safe bet that the LGBTQ will ride this wave to push its agenda of gender "fluidity" even further until we become so confused and dysfunctional as a society that not much will make sense anymore.
At the De Pere, Wisconsin City Council meeting last week, we shared our concerns about the non-discrimination (transgender rights) bill ultimately passed by the City, and it was sad to see young student after young student state their name and their "gender identity" such as "she/her", or "him/his," "fluid," etc. The LGBTQ community, aided by their friends in the government and National Education Association, have so confused the minds of children that many of them are headed down the road of life believing the lies of man. Yet the beat goes on and gender dysphoria grows in the minds and hearts of our young people - tomorrow's leaders in our nation, and that includes our churches.
Why are today's young people so quick to embrace moral relativism? Joining us today is Alex Nitzberg who has studied the thought process of millennials and the radical LGBTQ movement in America.

There have always been problems with communication and understanding between generations. Every younger generation that comes along is viewed with skepticism by more elderly generations. But the gap in communication and understanding between today's millennials and older people is in some ways like nothing we have ever experienced.
While it might be easy to just think they'll grow out of it, it is important to understand that this younger generation faces serious challenges many of us have not faced; and they been raised in a public education system and media presence that has caused them to become skeptical about life as a whole.
We're joined by a Christian apologist, researcher and author who has studied millennials extensively: Dr. Alex McFarland. He has written a new book Abandoned Faith: Why Millennials Are Walking Away and How You Can Lead Them Home, about the questions and struggles of millennials and how we can reach them with the truth and hope of Jesus Christ.

There are no shortages of attacks on God's Word these days. The Bible warns us that in the latter days many strange beliefs would be presented as truth and many would fall for the deception just before the Lord's return. But is there one central theme of false teaching that is most ominous? We believe there is: Humanist thought and beliefs that replace God's doctrines with man-made doctrines; I wrote a whole book about this. The central theme of sinful man and his fall from God's grace was that our beliefs and desires are more important than God's.
In our first segment we discuss the incredible promotion of gender confusion in our society and we look at one sad story of a Christian parent who has decided to support her four year old son's supposed desire to be recognized and raised as a girl. Is gender transition a reality? Or a lie planted by the enemy to confuse people and draw them into Humanism: Self worship? In our second segment, we touch on religious freedom and the Johnson Amendment, as well as the reaction to President Trump's executive order yesterday protecting religious liberties for all Americans.

If you are old enough to remember life in America in the 1950s and 60s, you would remember the culture of entertainment was much different back then. You could actually watch television with your children without fear of them being bombarded with messages of perversion, violence, and overt sexuality. And you also trusted your public school to actually teach math, science, and history without indoctrinating your children into believing evolution, becoming little earth muffins, hating America, or being encouraged to explore sexuality in ways contradictory to biblical morality. As they say, those were the good old days.
But today our youth are inundated with sexual perversion and godless worldviews at every turn. It is a sad reality that the influence of parents wanting to raise their children with Christian values has become more and more difficult.
Joining us to discuss the filth that passes for entertainment, and the blatant systematic brainwashing of our children is Tina Marie Griffin of Counter Culture Mom.
