Christianity & LGBTQ Issues
Of all the issues I write and speak about, I am most widely known for my decades of work at the intersection of Christian faith and LGBTQ issues.
Scroll down for my blog posts on these two topics. In addition:
- My book Torn is the best introductory resource I know of for Christians who are new to the LGBTQ conversation and want to understand better.
- You can bring me to speak to your church or group—not only on LGBTQ issues, but also on topics like forgiveness, rebuilding lost faith, and handling division and disagreement.
- I have an ongoing LGBTQ & Christian video series on YouTube to answer many common questions.
- For more on the Scripture arguments, my Bible and Homosexuality page offers a deeper dive.
