On The Charlie James Show on Tuesday, September 29, 2026, host Charlie James expresses criticism of progressive Christian denominations, specifically targeting an Episcopal sermon that framed the biblical figure Lazarus through a queer lens. He then discusses recent CDC survey data indicating a sharp decline in American teenagers identifying as LGBTQ+, characterizing the previous rise as a temporary social trend. Later, caller Ben from Travelers Rest shares an experience from Furman University involving a campus presentation that reinterpreted the biblical story of Joseph and his coat of many colors through a gender-nonconforming lens. James and Ben criticize these theological reinterpretations, with James concluding that such shifts drive believers away from mainline denominations.
