Summary
Do we have a truly biblical view of masculinity and femininity? In this episode, Robert Bortins sits down with author and entrepreneur Dale Partridge to discuss how to bring the church back to the Bible, specifically on the topic of gender. Dale, the president of Relearn.org and Reformation Seminary and the author of several books, including People Over Profit, talks here about the modern church’s move away from biblical masculinity, the manliness of Jesus Christ, his decision to write the children’s book Jesus and My Gender, and the criticism he has received for several of his views. After their conversation, Robert turns toward current events, explaining Trump’s decision not to attend a GOP presidential debate and the SEC’s recent lawsuit against the crypto exchange Coinbase.
