Same-Sex Attraction and the Gospel: How Christians Should Respond (S5E5)

Описание: What do you do when someone you love experiences same-sex attraction? What if you are invited to a gay wedding? How should Christians think about homosexuality, sexuality, and identity with both conviction and compassion?

In this episode of Open Bible, Open Life, Pastor Kyle and Pastor Spencer start where Christianity starts, not with sexual ethics, but with the gospel of Jesus Christ. From there, they walk through what Scripture teaches and how the church can respond with clarity, courage, and care.

This conversation is especially for Christians who feel the weight of real relationships. A son or daughter. A sibling. A close friend. A coworker. These questions are not going away, and you are not alone in asking them.

In this episode, you will hear:
Why the gospel must stay central in conversations about sexuality
How to think about same-sex attraction, orientation, identity, and behavior
Practical wisdom for engaging loved ones with tenderness and truth
Why God’s design is for human flourishing, not shame
A hopeful vision for holiness, growth, and obedience that leads to joy
