How to Reach LGBTQ+ For Christ & Make Friends, Not Enemies!

Episode Fifty-Six!! I explore the complexities of forming meaningful relationships with LGBTQ community members and unbelievers, both inside and outside the church. As a Christian who has lived as a gay man, I've had the unique experience of building friendships with LGBTQ individuals, and I share why it's crucial for the church to engage rather than avoid these connections We dive into the biblical foundation for this approach, guided by 1 Corinthians 9:19-23, and discuss practical strategies for creating genuine, non-judgmental friendships. I also touch on the challenges of navigating these relationships within the church, the importance of not giving away spiritual authority, and the impact of church hurt. Whether you're looking to build bridges or seeking guidance on how to approach LGBTQ friendships as a Christian, this episode offers valuable insights and a compassionate perspective on loving others for the gospel’s sake.
