In her new best-selling book "Love Thy Body," Nancy Pearcey argues that modern culture commits one huge fallacy--denigrating the value of the body. This mistake lies at the heart of how our secular culture thinks about some of the most common ethical issues of today, such as euthanasia, abortion, and transgenderism. Scott and Sean interview Pearcey about how the church can offer a humanizing worldview that embraces the value and dignity of the body. 

Best-selling author Nancy Pearcey has been heralded as "America's pre-eminent evangelical Protestant female intellectual" in The Economist). She is professor and scholar in residence at Houston Baptist University. With Chuck Colson, she was the founding editor of Breakpoint radio program. She has spoken in the US Capitol, White House, Princeton, Stanford, and has appeared on numerous radio and television spots.
