Unapologetic with Mike Eppel

Mike discusses the five flaws of transgender ideology: 1) the design of the body proves there are only two genders, 2) transgenderism presupposes fixed genders, 3) biology is unchangeable but psychology is changeable, 4) sex is not assigned at birth, and 5) there is no basis for trans rights.

Mike preaches on 2 Peter chapter 3, discussing those who scoff at the second coming of Christ while providing a rationale for the apparent delay of Christ’s return.   

Mike continues his sermon series on 2 Peter, diving into chapter 2 which discusses false doctrine, the character of those who spread false doctrines, and the consequences that one can expect if they participate in false prophecy. 

Mike preaches on 2 Peter chapter 1, discussing how Christians are to confirm that they belong to Christ by following in His virtue. Additionally, Mike encourages the church to remember the truth that the claims of Christianity are not mythical, but grounded in the historical events witnessed by the disciples of Jesus. 

Mike takes a break from discussing the trans agenda to talk about the morality of Israel’s existence. Many people in the west believe that Israel is a nation guilty of genocide and oppression of innocent people, but this view falls apart under closer examination. On the whole, Israel is a virtuous nation that stands for the same objective democratic and moral principles that characterize the other great nations of the West.

Mike discusses how despite the culture’s insistence that the way to live a happy life is to “follow your heart,” there are several reasons that this is bad advice. The heart is selfish, deceptive, conflicted, and changing, making it a poor guide for leading a fulfilling life.

Mike begins the discussion on transgenderism by asking, "does love require approval?". With transgenderism on the rise in western countries, many people think that the best way to love gender confused people is by affirming their new identity as the opposite sex. While this approach may seem loving on the surface, it is anything but loving to encourage people to pursue their self-destructive ideas. 

Mike discusses how making homosexuality into a protected class is unjust because it offers rights to homosexuals that are not available to the normal population. Additionally, he reiterates the necessity for Christians to be involved in politics if they are to secure their ability to preach the gospel and prevent immoral policies. 

Mike invites his wife, Katie, on the podcast to discuss whether some political issues are more important for Christians to address than others. If some are more important, what are they? What makes them more significant than other political considerations? 

Mike discusses the biblical principles that can help guide Christians as to when it is permissible, or even morally good, for them to disobey the government. 

Mike delivers a sermon on the subjects of general revelation and natural theology, explaining that God, in fact, reveals himself to all beings everywhere. Those who deny God's existence or His moral law do not do so for a lack of knowledge about God, but out of an unwillingness to accept the knowledge that is plainly revealed to them. 

Mike discusses how the "Religion of Sex" has come to dominate nearly every facet of life, from the classroom to the workplace, and notes the totalitarian manner in which this new religion is being imposed upon the American people. Those who oppose this belief system are not tolerated; they are defamed, berated, and despised. 

Mike discusses the government's purpose for getting involved in marriage as well as the three approaches the government can take towards a given behavior (prohibit, permit, and promote). The government has no reason to endorse same sex marriage because such a union does not benefit society but, in fact, causes harm to it.  

Mike discusses the flawed reasoning by which the supreme court deemed same sex marriage to be a legal right in 2015. To interpret such a right into the constitution not only threatens natural marriage, but other rights such as freedom of speech and freedom of worship. 

Mike takes a break from the "Case for Biblical Sexuality Series" to present a sermon he gave on "The Great SURGE", a presentation that argues for the existence of the God based on the evidence found in the cosmos. 

Mike enters into a new phase of his discussion on the case for biblical sexuality, viewing the subject of same sex marriage from the perspective of a post-Obergefell landscape, where federally endorsed same sex marriage is a reality rather than a mere possibility. In this podcast, Mike addresses how such a reality came to be.

Mike discusses the challenge directed at Christians that they cannot legislate in favor of biblical morality because of the supposed separation of church and state. 

Mike responds to several challenges that LGBT activists make against opponents of same sex marriage, including:

1) Opposition to same sex marriage is hate speech 2) Opponents to same sex marriage are intolerant 3) Opponents to same sex marriage violate Jesus' command not to judge in Matthew 7:1
