Driving Home the Faith 2026.10.08

On Driving Home the Faith, Ken Craycraft continues his conversation with Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse, founder and president of the Ruth Institute, about her recent video examining the science and arguments behind so-called “conversion therapy” bans.

Dr. Morse explains how her video essay walks viewers through scientific studies, tables, and data to examine claims surrounding sexual orientation and whether it is genetically determined. Ken and Dr. Morse discuss the landmark 2019 study published in Science that examined the DNA of nearly 500,000 people and found no single “gay gene,” while acknowledging that genetic factors can play a role among many contributing factors.

The conversation then turns to the experiences that can influence sexual attraction and identity, including family dynamics, abuse, pornography, and other formative experiences. Dr. Morse argues that people who voluntarily seek counseling should be free to discuss these questions with a qualified therapist.

Ken and Dr. Morse also focus on the impact of conversion-therapy bans on the people seeking help, not merely the therapists providing it. They discuss how broad restrictions and potential legal consequences may discourage therapists from having conversations that clients themselves want to have.

The segment closes with a message for anyone struggling with questions about sexual orientation and identity: “Gay is not the final word about your identity.”

Dr. Morse's video, The Fake Science Behind Conversion Therapy Ban, is available on the Ruth Institute YouTube channel, and listeners are encouraged to follow the Ruth Institute's weekly newsletter for more of her research and commentary.

The Fake Science Behind Conversion Therapy Bans: Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse Part 2

Why do modern Western intellectuals often uncritically adopt fictional narratives of historical Islamic achievement while ignoring the shared ideological roots of radicalism and Marxism? On Driving Home the Faith, host Dr. Ken Craycraft welcomes back Robert Spencer—Director of Jihad Watch and author of The Tragedy of Islam: Failure and Excuses—to continue their in-depth analysis of Islamic ideology and Western geopolitics.

Spencer critiques historical revisionism regarding medieval Islamic science and culture, contrasting it with the actual historical timeline of Western Christian intellectual development. He and Dr. Craycraft explore how modern Islamic rhetoric frequently converges with Marxist cultural movements around a shared "ideology of grievance," examining the strange political alliances formed in Western media, academia, and public life.
