A nationally renowned writer and social critic, Mark Bauerlein is Senior Editor at First Things and Professor of English at Emory University. Since the Supreme Court's recent decision to legalize gay marriage, people have been wondering how Christians will respond to this culture shift. How will Christians react to this new ruling? Will some continue to claim homosexuality is a sin? Our second hour guest, Dr. Denny Burk—professor, pastor, and author of What is the Meaning of Sex? has been a steady voice speaking into the current social climate through interviews and articles on the topics of gender and sexuality.
