But if we take a closer look, we find that it’s not clear what exactly “sexual immorality” even is. And if we think about it, those outside of high-control religious contexts don’t link issues of sexuality and gender together with “immorality” or “morality” is the ways that are typical of high-control religion. Why is that? What’s really going on when adherents of high-control Christianity appeal to “sexual immorality”? Listen to this week’s episode to hear what Dan has to say about these questions and more.

They discuss the historical and enduring influence of biblical metaphors, such as the 'city on a hill' and the 'new Jerusalem,' on American identity and immigration policies. The conversation spans from Ronald Reagan's farewell address to the formation of the Border Patrol and the symbolism behind the border wall, culminating in insights about the exclusionary rhetoric expected in the upcoming second Trump term. The episode also touches on the historical context of Chinese exclusion and the problematic aspects of apocalyptic literature used in justifying modern immigration policies.

But within this overarching understanding, men and women are perceived as expressing radically different sexualities. Within this world, how is male sexuality understood? What are its defining features? And what are the dangers that come with this way of perceiving male sexuality? Take a listen as Dan offers his thoughts on these and other issues in this week’s episode.
