Did Jesus stay silent on abortion and homosexuality, or are progressive politicians twisting Scripture to fit a modern agenda?

In this LIVE FREE reaction video, Pastor Josh Howerton responds directly to James Talarico’s viral claims on Joe Rogan that Jesus “never talked about” homosexuality or abortion and that Christians have made these issues central for political reasons. Walking carefully through Scripture, this episode dismantles the argument from silence, explains why Jesus’ affirmation of Genesis defines marriage clearly, and shows how the New Testament directly addresses sexual ethics and the sanctity of life. If you’ve heard these talking points online and felt confused, this is the biblical clarity you’ve been looking for.

You’ll learn:
• Why “Jesus never said it” is a weak theological argument
• How Matthew 19 defines marriage and excludes modern redefinitions
• Why Romans 1 and 1 Corinthians 6 directly address homosexuality
• Whether abortion is truly absent from biblical teaching
• How cultural pressure reshapes theology and how to resist it
• Why the real issue is the authority of Scripture and the Lordship of Christ
This isn’t about politics. It’s about truth.
