Episode 17 - Why Are You (Still) Gay - Part II of Martin Sedra with Justin
In Part II of Why Are You Gay?, Andrew and guest Justin Bullis speed-run through the rest of Martin Sedra’s unhinged sermon on “biblical masculinity.” From bizarre claims about pronouns and Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, to mocking trans people under the guise of “love,” Sedra’s message spirals into projection, fearmongering, and culture war cosplay. Along the way, Andrew and Justin unpack everything from Martin’s bootstraps theology to his laughable takes on nail polish, video games, and “house meetings.” And it all culminates in Sedra’s disturbing, manipulative performance of “washing his wife’s feet” after berating her into submission. This episode is a raw, unfiltered look at how pastors weaponize faith to normalize fear, control, and abuse—all while hiding behind the language of love.

Episode 16 - Why Are You Gay? - Breaking Down Martin Sedra - with Justin
In this episode, we dive headfirst into the tangled mess of Martin Sedra’s sermon on “biblical masculinity” — and it’s every bit as bad as it sounds. From mocking trans people, to confusing sexual orientation with gender identity, to cherry-picking scripture only when it suits him, Martin builds his argument on fear, outdated social norms, and a deep misunderstanding of the modern world.
It’s the weaponization of faith in action, and by the end, you’ll understand exactly why I call him a bad pastor and a worse person.
