Trauma, transgender pronouns, and the Bible Project

Sound of Sanity tackles different topics from everyday life, reminding regular Bible-believing Christians that we're not the crazy ones.

Nathan, Jake, and Ben have been very helpful in helping me think biblically and many things that they have said have been convicting to me and helped me follow Jesus. So if that’s the kind of thing you like you should listen to this podcast!

Also, they are good at making me laugh. Specifically anything that has to do with Walter and Gary.

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away ... Warhorn Media published an article on Stars Wars and feminism that attracted over 130,000 views, hundreds of tweets, Facebook posts, blog responses, Reddit forums, and more. Almost all of them angry. Some of them "joking" that the author should die. It got worse from there. With The Last Jedi making waves for its hardcore feminism, Nathan and Jake recount the full story, for the first time on record.
