"You can't love others until you love yourself." "Just pursue what makes you happy."

I'll explain why self-love isn't Christlike and how Christians, according to the Bible, are supposed to view ourselves.  Copyright CRTV. All rights reserved.

Dr. Christopher Yuan tells his story of transformation from an agnostic gay man to a redeemed Bible professor.

Dr. Yuan gives insight into the biblical definition of sexuality and how Christians can lovingly approach this topic with others. Afterward, I give my takes on North Korea and the epidemic of suicide. Also: Another "Thing I Don't Get." Copyright CRTV. All rights reserved.

Ep 6 | No, Christians Aren't Called to "Social ...
Christians are undoubtedly commanded to do good works, but why put a secular, progressive label on what the church has been doing through the power of the gospel for centuries: caring for the weak, feeding the poor, and fighting for the oppressed? The idolatry of social justice is actually distraction from the centrality of Jesus and his death and resurrection. I explain why. Also: Q&A and tribute to Barbara Bush.

Ep 5 | The Only "Racial Reconciliation" the Chu...
The cancer of "intersectionality" has started to seep into the church. It defines people by their individual, racial, ethnic, class, and gender oppression rather than who they are in Christ. Such worldly doctrine is antithetical to the gospel and is unnecessary for (and even counterproductive to) unity between the varying dimensions of humanity. Jesus is sufficient for that.
