But the problem is that most Christians can't be seen to have moments when they lose control or even struggle. By being honest with the challenges he's faced, Lecrae is going to dive into the hard things no one else will face and talk about what life looks like when you go off the deep end. This show is not for perfect people or people who've never made mistakes. This show is for the rest of us who are just trying to pick up the pieces and find a way forward with vulnerability and honesty.","last_synced_at":null,"page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-deep-end-with-lecrae-6803373"},"episode":{"title":"Bible Scholar Schools Lecrae on LGBTQ+, Sexuality, and Gender","slug":"bible-scholar-schools-lecrae-on-lgbtq-sexuality-and-gender","published_at":"2026-02-20T10:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-deep-end-with-lecrae-6803373/bible-scholar-schools-lecrae-on-lgbtq-sexuality-and-gender","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-deep-end-with-lecrae-6803373","url":"https://289702f0-eba6-44cb-bf7c-b7ff937eb51c.libsyn.com/bible-scholar-schools-lecrae-on-lgbtq-sexuality-and-gender","audio_url":"https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/pscrb.fm/rss/p/traffic.libsyn.com/secure/289702f0-eba6-44cb-bf7c-b7ff937eb51c/Ep107_Preston_Sprinkle_DeepEnd_AUDIO.mp3?dest-id=5279650","summary":"Reclaim your faith from OCD.

In this episode of The Deep End, we go deep with Dr. Preston Sprinkle, biblical scholar, author, podcaster, and co-founder of the Center for Faith, Sexuality & Gender. Preston shares how a rigorous study of Scripture led him to unexpected conclusions on two of the most emotionally charged debates in the church today: women in leadership and LGBTQ+ sexuality. We talk about his new book From Genesis to Junior — an honest, real-time exegetical journey through what the Bible actually says about women and church leadership — and why he didn't know where he'd land before he started writing it. We also get into the nuance behind yes-or-no culture, why \"homosexuality is sin\" isn't as simple a question as it sounds, the 83% statistic about LGBT people raised in the church, and what pastoral compassion actually looks like when someone asks \"Did God make me gay?\" This is a conversation about truth AND grace — not one or the other.
