Greetings!

I’m excited to invite you to two different online events we’re hosting at The Center for Faith, Sexuality, and Gender!

Grace/Truth Small Group Study

The first one is a 5-week virtual group study through Grace/Truth 1.0, which I will be leading. The first 1-hour gathering will begin on Tuesday, May 19th at 5pm PST (8pm EST), and we’ll gather again every Tuesday at the same time for the next four weeks after that (May 26, June 2, 9, 16). Invite your friends, family, and ministry leaders to join the group!

The only prerequisite is that you grab a copy of the Grace/Truth 1.0 book (paperback, e-book, or audio) and the videos (DVD or streaming), which are available at our store. (The videos are also available on Right Now Media.)

Books and DVD can take up to 10 days to ship, so please order these ASAP if you plan on participating. You’ll need to read and watch Conversation 1 before our first gathering, and then I’ll spend our time together working through the material and answering questions.

This event is FREE but space is limited. Click here to register.

Webinar: “How to Engage the LGBTQ Conversation”

I will also be presenting a FREE webinar on Monday, May 11th from 5:30-7:00pm PST (8:30-10:00pm EST) on how to engage those you disagree with on the topic of faith and sexuality. Almost every Christian these days finds themselves in conversations about sexuality with people they disagree with: parents with their kids, pastors with their congregants, friends with friends, and so on. Oftentimes, both sides speak past each other because they haven’t taken the time to understand where the other person is coming from.

How can we engage these conversations with a passion for truth and an unswerving love for others? Please join me on May 11th as I share my thoughts and then answer your questions!

Why Homosexuality Is not just an Issue

In one week, my book People to Be Loved: Why Homosexuality Is not just an Issue will be released. If I can be honest, I've got mixed feelings about this book. On the one hand, it's for an author whenever a new book is released.

Grace/Truth 1.0

Grace/Truth 1.0 is a five-week small group learning experience that introduces Christians to LGBT+ people, the language to use and avoid, a theologically faithful view of marriage and sexuality, and practical guidance on how to embody the love of Christ toward sexual and gender minorities. The book and accompanying videos (see below) are only available at the Center for Faith, Sexuality, and Gender’s online store.

My Nashville Statement

It is ironic and possibly prophetic that the Nashville Statement (NS) was published the very same day that I released a short film on LGBT people in the church titled Dear Church: I’m Gay. I think these two “statements” represent two brands of evangelical approaches to questions about faith, sexuality & gender. These two brands overlap quite a bit; they both agree that marriage is between a man and a woman and that all sexual relations outside this type of marriage covenant are sin. That’s a big overlap. However, there are many differences in tone, rhetoric, and how to go about this whole conversation. In some ways, the Nashville Statement brought these differences to light.
