| 34 years ago I realized three simple truths: – Most Christians know WHAT they believe. – Some Christians struggle to LIVE what they believe – Other Christians wonder how to DEFEND what they believe. Most Christians know what the Bible has to say about sex and marriage. But many Christians are bound by porn, homosexuality, adulterous behaviors, or deep emotional wounding. Many other believers are confused about what to say to their gay loved ones, or their transgender friend, or their “Woke” co-workers. Many others want to know how to speak to the culture about these issues, both as Apologists and Evangelists. We Love All Three Groups. That’s Why We’re Here We Serve All Three Groups. That’s What We Do.. Here’s How: Weekly Podcast In our weekly podcast Christians in a Cancel Culture we discuss how to explain and defend the Christian position on abortion homosexuality, racism, transgender, and progressive Christianity. We feature interviews with experts on these topics, and we explain why each issue is a vital one, and how to talk about it clearly and Biblically. Click HERE to see this week’s podcast with Wynn Thomson titled Prodigal: A Transformed Life, the testimony of a man’s journey out of homosexuality. Weekly Facebook Live Meeting In our weekly Sound Doctrine Bites Facebook Live meeting, we tackle todays “hot topics” by looking at what scripture has to say, and how we can say it, too. Topics have included: Are We Being Persecuted? What Makes You Think We’re In The Last Days? Am I A Christian Nationalist? Should I Call Him ‘Her?’ – The Transgender Name Dilemma Is “Gay Christian” Ever An Acceptable Term? And our latestG: Rittenhouse and Racism – What’s The Takeaway? As you can see, we don’t shy away from controversial subjects, because these days, we don’t believe we can afford to. The World wants answers; Christians want to give them; we want to help. To Partner With Us Click HERE Biblical Counseling Services We continue to see an average of 20 people each week for one-on-one counseling sessions in our Tustin office and, thanks to the miracle of Zoom, we now serve clients throughout the US and in Canada and Australia as well! Our counseling is designed to give guidance and hope: To husbands who want to quit using porn To wives who’ve discovered a husband’s infidelity To men who wonder what to do with their attraction to the same sex To women who identify as men To parents of gay or transgender children We regularly get referrals from Focus on the Family, the Christian Research Institute, and local churches. We take the trust of our clients and our referral sources seriously, and we are honored to walk with people coming to us for help. Media Appearances I’ve been happily scrambling since last June to keep up with the interview opportunities that have come up since the release of my latest book Christians in a Cancel Culture. Two recent interviews I’ve especially enjoyed have been with Brittany Valdez, who has a gift for getting into your head with sensitive and pointed questions (click HERE to see interview) and Dr. Mike Spaulding, pastor of Calvary Chapel Lima and host of The Transforming Word radio show. Click HERE to view the terrific talk we had just last night! Speaking Opportunities Last month I was thrilled to testify in West Palm Beach Florida at the annual Freedom March, alongside other men and women who realized we’re created for something more than a gay or transgender identity. Awesome opportunity! (To view this open air event click HERE) I was also happy to speak to the monthly apologetics class at the Orange County Rescue Mission’s “Village of Hope” (click HERE for a video of the presentation) and to the Presbytery Meeting of the Southern California Assemblies of God Region 9 pastors and leadership. (see HERE) Will You Join Me? That’s what we do, and that’s who we serve. Since today is Giving Tuesday, if you feel our work is something you’d like to be part of, we need your partnership more than ever! Won’t you take a minute to consider becoming an ally by making a gift today of any amount? Your support will enable us to continue providing free online content, free consultations to pastors who want to address these issues in their own churches, and low cost or free counseling services to people who cannot afford to pay. (No one is turned away for lack of funds!) To Partner With Us Click HERE Thanks for being there! I so appreciate your prayers and your friendship, and I hope your Christmas will be hugely blessed. Sincerely, Joe |

Hello Mr. Dallas- I have been listening to your podcasts appearances and have been so blessed by your wisdom. I was sharing your talk with a doubting brother, who is a psychologist. I figured he would check you out on Wikipedia as a quick way to familiarize himself with you, so I did so myself. I was a little discouraged that you are described as a proponent of conversion therapy as your work is so much more than that and I wonder if you like that label. You can contact Wikipedia to change the info if inaccurate. "Conversion therapy is the pseudoscientific practice of attempting to change an individual's sexual orientation from homosexual or bisexual to heterosexual or their gender identity from transgender or nonbinary to cisgender using psychological, physical, or spiritual interventions. There is no reliable evidence that sexual orientation or gender identity can be changed, and medical institutions warn that conversion therapy practices are ineffective and potentially harmful.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] Medical, scientific, and government organizations in the United States and the United Kingdom have expressed concern over the validity, efficacy and ethics of conversion therapy.[11][12][13][14][15][16] Various jurisdictions around the world have passed laws against conversion therapy." I am a Christian woman and my husband and I keep trying to lean into learning about things that go so against today's culture- in and out of the church. It is so hard to convey God's design for personhood. Keep on speaking out in wisdom and kindness.
