John Stonestreet doesn’t want to talk about sex
John Stonestreet doesn’t want to talk about sex
Jul 29, 2026 12:12 PM

On the latest edition of Radio Free Acton, John Stonestreet, the President of the Colson Center for Christian Worldview, joins Marc Vander Maas to talk about the current cultural and moral malaise of the West and affirms the unique role of Christianity in the development and sustaining of western civilization. Stonestreet discusses the dangers and ultimate consequences of the West’s abandonment of its Christian moral principles and affirms the necessity of virtue as a panion to freedom. Additionally, in this program, Stonestreet is forced to discuss a touchy subject: sex. As the standards of sexual morality shift, no longer rooted objectively, we are forced to confront a subject that has remained at the forefront of liberty for those on the modern left. Stonestreet articulates a Christian biblical worldview in response to this modern view of sexual freedom and also the modern secularization in the West.

To whom is given: A new documentary on the Christian call to business
There is often a temptation among Christians to segment and categorize “Christian calling” into our own preferred buckets, deeming certain jobs, careers, or vocations as more worthwhile or “sacred” than others. Yet our public ministry doesn’t begin or endwithin the walls of a church building or the confines of a conversation about conversion. Ourpublic worship and witness is not limited to work and service within a specific subset of “Christian-oriented” businesses or institutions. In a new documentary from Values &...
7 Reasons Christians should consider supporting school vouchers
While it took Vice President Mike Pence casting the deciding vote, Betsy DeVos was confirmed earlier today as the Secretary of Education.
