The Fall of Sam Allberry and the Failure of Side B Christianity

About this episode

The episode discusses the implications of Sam Allberry's fall on Side B Christianity and explores deeper theological issues related to sexual identity and the church's understanding of biblical teachings.

In this week’s episode of the Podcast for Cultural Reformation, Pastor Nate Wright and Dr. Joe Boot respond to the fall of Sam Allberry and examine what it reveals about Side B Christianity, evangelical accommodation, and the church’s loss of confidence in biblical categories.   Rather than focusing on scandal, they address the deeper theological issues: sexual identity, sinful desire, sanctification, marriage, singleness, and the gospel’s power to truly transform sinners in Christ.
