The DISTURBING Theology Of Doug Wilson

Can a marriage serve as a cure for deep-seated sexual sin? Join us as we tackle this provocative question by scrutinizing the controversial theology of Doug Wilson, founder of Christ Church in Moscow, Idaho. We dissect Wilson's troubling views on marriage and gender roles, such as his belief that women should be controlled by their fathers until marriage and that they should avoid questioning their relationships. Balancing this, we advocate for a healthier complementarian approach that champions mutual respect and communication. Additionally, we broaden our discussion to examine how these issues relate to broader theological concerns, including same-sex attraction and marriage, promoting equality and respect in all relationships.

Moreover, we unravel the flawed notion that marriage can fix sexual sin through a heartbreaking case where Wilson arranged a marriage for a man with a history of sexual abuse. Personal anecdotes and critical analysis reveal the dangers of expecting a spouse to heal profound personal issues. Highlighting the necessity of genuine repentance and transformation before entering marriage, we emphasize the vital role of discipleship and sanctification in true healing. Listen as we advocate for marriages rooted in self-giving love, accountability, and heart-level ministry, challenging harmful beliefs and encouraging a healthier, Christ-centered approach to sexuality and relationships.
