On 6 May 2015 Jensen's book You: An Introduction (2008) was banned from state schools by the New South Wales Department of Education and Communities on the basis of a "potential risk to students in the delivery of this material, if not taught sensitively and in an age appropriate manner."[3] The ban was lifted 18 May 2015.

In September 2018, Jensen launched a podcast, With All Due Respect,[4] which he co-hosts with Megan Powell du Toit, a Baptist minister. The podcast is the first for Eternity News, an Australian Christian news site.[5]
