Challenging Conversations Jason Jimenez

There's a big debate about whether God makes people LGBTQ. Some folks think being LGBTQ is part of God's plan and should be accepted, but others, especially in the Christian community, disagree. They believe being LGBTQ isn't what God intended and is a result of a fallen world. In this episode, Jason Jimenez pushes back respectfully on the idea that God makes people LGBTQ by offering a Christian perspective rooted in the clear and unchanged Word of God.

In this episode, Jason Jimenez uncovers and addresses various abuses of power within our judicial system and provides you with intel on action steps to eliminate these injustices.
