    Alan Chambers Arrested: A Sobering Warning About Sin and Compromise

    Alan Chambers — former president of Exodus International — was recently arrested in what authorities describe as a child enticement sting operation. In this video, we respond to the news with both truth and grace, discussing sin, compromise, repentance, and the importance of gospel hope. This conversation also addresses how stories like this are often used in broader cultural debates surrounding sexuality, faith, and transformation in Christ. Rather than celebrating someone’s downfall, Christians are called to pray, remain vigilant against sin, and point people toward the redeeming power of Jesus. Topics covered: -The history of Exodus International -Alan Chambers’ theological shift over the years -The destructive nature of unrepentant sin -How Christians should respond biblically -Why gospel hope still matters -Ministries and testimonies of transformation in Christ Join us weekly as we strive help people embrace God's standard for sexuality!  Other ways to listen: https://linktr.ee/calibrateconversations #Christianity #Repentance #Truth

    Conversion Therapy or Gospel Transformation? She Was Transgender and Here's Her Story

    She planned to have a sex change operation. Today, she lives as a woman — and she has a dissertation full of research to prove her transformation wasn't an accident. In this episode of Calibrate Conversations, we sit down with Linda Seiler — a woman who identified as transgender and same-sex attracted from childhood — and Andrew Rodriguez, a licensed professional counselor, to tackle one of the most controversial topics in culture and the church right now: conversion therapy. Is it harmful? Is it even real? And what does the research actually say? We break down: * What "conversion therapy" actually is (vs. what the media says it is) * The Pila & Sutton 2021 longitudinal study showing measurable change IS possible * Linda's personal story of transformation through surrender to Jesus * Why the opposite of homosexuality isn't heterosexuality — it's holiness * How James 5:16 and community played a role in Linda's healing journey * What the church gets right and wrong about same-sex attraction This isn't a political conversation. It's a Gospel one.
