Session 1: A Conflict of Visions — this first session introduces the course topics and explains how the modern, western worldview is in conflict with Scripture by dividing the body from the self which impacts issues such as abortion, gender, and sexuality.
Session 2: Complementarianism — this session explain how God created men and women equal in dignity and worth and complementary in role in the home, church, and society. It argues that form (our sexed reality) is integrally related to our function (our gendered reality).
Session 3: Homosexuality — this session explains how the worldview of the body/person split promotes homosexuality by negating the meaning of the body and how the Christian worldview unites them in accord with Scripture, thus promoting the biblical view of sexuality.
Session 4: Transgenderism — sessions explains how the worldview of the body/person split leads to transgenderism and explains how the Christian worldview provides a better path to understanding human nature and promoting human flourishing.
