In this episode of The Deep End, we go deep with Dr. Preston Sprinkle, biblical scholar, author, podcaster, and co-founder of the Center for Faith, Sexuality & Gender.

Preston shares how a rigorous study of Scripture led him to unexpected conclusions on two of the most emotionally charged debates in the church today: women in leadership and LGBTQ+ sexuality. We talk about his new book From Genesis to Junior — an honest, real-time exegetical journey through what the Bible actually says about women and church leadership — and why he didn't know where he'd land before he started writing it.

We also get into the nuance behind yes-or-no culture, why "homosexuality is sin" isn't as simple a question as it sounds, the 83% statistic about LGBT people raised in the church, and what pastoral compassion actually looks like when someone asks "Did God make me gay?"

This is a conversation about truth AND grace — not one or the other.

Topics covered:

• What faithfulness to Jesus really looks like
• The debate over women in church leadership (complementarian vs. egalitarian)
• Primogeniture, Genesis 1–3, and what Adam's creation order actually means
• Same-sex attraction, celibacy, and navigating hard pastoral questions
• Why Preston refuses to give thin answers to thick questions
• The danger of cultural Christianity and sound-bite theolog
