Radical Gender
Description
Questions:
1. Who gets to tell you who you are? (whether you know it or not, you have to wrestle with
this daily!)
2. What holds your affection(s)? What is the object of your desire(s)? (The answer to this
question may help you with the first question!)
3. A mind-blowing statement: Something you never knew: You have a body! This is brilliant!
If you remember nothing else, remember this!
Why would I be saying these things? Today we are talking about gender: Radical Gender.
Every week we review what it looks like to follow Jesus:
Luke 9:23
23 And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take
up his cross daily, and follow me.
Last week when we talked about Radical Submission, you should have noticed that things are
getting harder! If you are going to follow Jesus, everything is on the table, including your gender.
Gender is a hard word: it’s getting more weird and complicated as time goes on. Some of you
would say your gender is Male and Female. However, we need to get to the core of this and
deal with it! We need to think about the questions above.
Let’s start with the waters that we swim in: The items in the list below all contribute answers to
“Who are you?” “What is the object of your affection?” and “You have a body.”

Eric's Story
Sexuality
Pastors Eric, Mark, Susan, Daniel, and other Village leaders open the Scriptures as the witness to God’s kingdom breaking into our lives. Scripture gives us more than abstract ideas. It is the Word of God, given to form us, confront us, comfort us, and teach us how to follow Jesus.
Each episode invites us to listen and respond. We are learning to understand the Bible more faithfully; we are also learning how to live as God’s renewed people.
Week by week, our pastors and leaders talk about the practices of Christian discipleship, including prayer, fasting, generosity, Scripture memory, worship, and life together. These practices belong to a whole life formed around Jesus.
The podcast also speaks to ordinary places where faith is lived; our relationships, finances, habits, struggles, joys, and decisions. The gospel speaks to what we believe. It also teaches us how to live in the present age as people who belong to the kingdom of God.
