I’ve Changed My Mind About Biola University – Here’s Why (Special Update)
Special update: I share the latest developments at Biola University after the recent gender policy changes. I also react to Thaddeus Williams’ latest video and Megan Basham’s reporting. Toward the end, I explain the major shift in my view after realizing why Biola still employs staff and faculty across a wide spectrum of views, including those who are sympathetic to social justice, liberation theology, and DEI. This is the information that prospective parents, donors, and alumni need to know.
PROGRAMMING NOTE: I had originally uploaded a slightly different version of this video. I am reuploading it (24 hours later) with a new, slightly modified ending. I feel like this ending is more clear to what I was aiming to get at.

Pro-Life Feminism, Trump, IVF, and the Border: A Raw Conversation
In this powerful special edition of the Theology Mom podcast, I sit down with Destiny Herndon-De La Rosa, founder of New Wave Feminists for a rare, honest conversation across ideological divides. We discuss abortion, human dignity from womb to tomb, Trump, IVF, the border crisis, and why both believe real change happens through relationships, not politics. Respectful, surprising and some common ground you might not expect.

From Depressed Teen to Theology Mom: Two Women Who Changed My Life
At 15, I was a lonely, fatherless freshman drowning in depression. I had braces, curly hair, and zero friends. But two ordinary Christians noticed me—and my life changed forever. In this emotional episode, I reunite with two Christian women and talk about how God used them in my life. Thirty years later, we marvel at how God used regular people to help pull a broken girl out of the pit and into purpose. If you’ve ever wondered if your small act of kindness matters, this one’s for you. You don’t need a platform. You just need to notice the lonely person on the bench. One conversation, one prayer, one nudge from the Holy Spirit can alter someone’s eternity.

Biola’s Gender Policy Overhaul: From Side-B Ambiguity to Biblical Clarity?
In this powerful 2-hour conversation, I talk to Christian counselor, Andrew Rodriguez (@psychobible). We expose the critical gap between doctrine and practice at Christian institutions — using Biola University as a real-world case study. Includes a discussion about Rosemead Psychology’s stance on “conversion therapy.”
🔥 We read Biola’s old vs. new gender & student care policies line-by-line.
⚖️ Compare their public statements of faith with actual campus culture
❌ Unpack the red flags in “The Dwelling” — Biola’s official LGBTQ+/SSA ministry
🗣️ React to clips from a Preston Sprinkle’s chapel talk & Side B framework
🛑 Why “gay Christian,” “sexual orientation,” and “safe space” language undermines transformation
Parents, pastors, youth leaders — this is your roadmap for:
• Crafting biblically sound policies
• Training leaders to respond in the moment when a teen says, “I think I’m gay/trans”
• Avoiding the Side B drift that leaves students stuck, not sanctified

5 People Share the Gospel in 5 Minutes or Less (You Can Too)
Can you share the gospel clearly in under 5 minutes? You don’t need to be a pastor, theologian, or famous speaker to do it. I'm returning to finish up my 2024 teaching series on evangelism series. In this episode, I share real-life gospel presentations from 5 everyday believers — including a homeschool mom, a pastor, a politician, and more. Watch as they share the good news in 90 seconds to 5 minutes, using simple, memorable methods.
Each presentation is practical, repeatable, and designed for real conversations — with waitresses, scientists, strangers, or friends.
You’ll also learn:
• Why repentance is the missing piece in most gospel talks
• How anyone can turn any moment into a Jesus conversation
• How to train your kids, church, or small group to share the gospel confidently
Inspired by evangelism pioneers like Dr. Hugh Ross, this episode will equip and ignite you to fulfill the Great Commission — starting today.
Your next step: Pick one presentation, practice it this week, and watch God open doors.
