Biola’s Gender Policy Overhaul: From Side-B Ambiguity to Biblical Clarity?

from Theology Mom || All The Things · host Krista Bontrager

In this powerful 2-hour conversation, I talk to Christian counselor, Andrew Rodriguez (@psychobible). We expose the critical gap between doctrine and practice at Christian institutions — using Biola University as a real-world case study. Includes a discussion about Rosemead Psychology’s stance on “conversion therapy.” 🔥 We read Biola’s old vs. new gender & student care policies line-by-line. ⚖️ Compare their public statements of faith with actual campus culture ❌ Unpack the red flags in “The Dwelling” — Biola’s official LGBTQ+/SSA ministry 🗣️ React to clips from a Preston Sprinkle’s chapel talk & Side B framework 🛑 Why “gay Christian,” “sexual orientation,” and “safe space” language undermines transformation Parents, pastors, youth leaders — this is your roadmap for: • Crafting biblically sound policies • Training leaders to respond in the moment when a teen says, “I think I’m gay/trans” • Avoiding the Side B drift that leaves students stuck, not sanctified #BiolaUniversity #ChristianDiscipleship #GenderPolicies #SideB #LGBTQandChurch #BiblicalCounseling #YouthMinistry #ChristianParents #TheologyMatters
