Join Ben and John Paul as they talk with Dr. Sean McDowell about teenagers, love, sex, gender, and relationships and Dr. McDowell’s new book and study, Chasing Love.

Show Notes and Quotes:

The option for a Bible-believing Christian is not to soften the teachings of Jesus. With that said, let the reason someone is upset with me not be because of the way I have or have not treated them but because of some position, I hold that I cannot compromise.

We must understand the theological side with sound doctrine and be able to articulate it in a clear way that reveals Jesus, but we must also put as much work into the relationship building that provides a fertile ground for those things to land on a little better.


Dr. Sean McDowell is a gifted communicator with a passion for equipping the church—young people in particular—to make the case for the Christian faith. He connects with audiences in a tangible way through humor and stories while imparting hard evidence and logical support for a biblical worldview. Sean is an Associate Professor in the Christian Apologetics program at Talbot School of Theology at Biola University. Sean has one of the leading apologetics blogs, which can be read at seanmcdowell.org.
