As a follow up to my last post (who attends your church?) we should also ask, ”Who is coming to dinner?” This question was asked to me. Why do we talk only about the church service and the attendance of people with “alternate” lifestyles? The church is made of people, not buildings [...]
In a recent conversation with a friend I heard of a man who was asked to leave a local church because he was a cross-dresser and was unwilling to change his clothes when he came to church. Obviously each situation in a local church is different and should be handled [...]
Let me begin this review by saying that this is a very difficult subject that involves many heated emotions and hurt feelings; when anyone broaches the subject of homosexuality and Christianity, sparks fly. Yet, I was relieved to find that Wesley Hill was not only honest, he was also authentic [...]
I’m not a fan of how the church has traditionally dealt with homosexuality. Personally, I do believe that it is sinful, but the church seems to treat it differently than other sins. Some churches even try really hard to ‘cure’ people of their homosexuality. This book seems to be an [...]

I’ve been waiting for today for a long time. I’ve always been a big fan of the conversations that The Idea Camp stirs up, and this will be the first time I get to attend one of the events in person! Then I started running The Idea Camp blogging series [...]

Why did this week’s blogging series have to be one of the most awkward that I’ve ever been a part of? Seriously… I was blown away by how much people opened up during weeks like PORN WEEK and ABUSE WEEK. But now it seems that we’re talking about homosexuality, I [...]

What I’m about to share is something that turns my stomach. I’m not writing today to debate what’s right or wrong about homosexuality. There are theologians who are way smarter than me that do a good enough job with keeping that discussion going. I don’t want to talk about whether [...]
I’m pretty excited about this project! Not only is it probably one of the biggest blogging projects that I’ve had the opportunity to organize, but it’s probably one of the most needed conversations in the church today. I recently shared that The Idea Camp is running an event this September [...]

Last summer in Uganda I heard about an injustice that absolutely broke my heart for a couple of reasons. First, because of what was being done to take advantage young men and women (really boys and girls). And second, because the church was being used as the tool to make [...]

The look of judgement that came when the question was asked indicated that she already had her mind made up that my position was unacceptable. She had a secular humanist worldview, and I had (and still have) a strong Biblical Christian worldview. And yet regardless of these fundamental differences, we were [...]
