TGC - 020 - Colby Martin - LGBTQ & The Church The Phil Drysdale Show

In this podcast I chat with Colby Martin who is a pastor from San Diego. Colby has been very outspoken on the topic of affirming the LGBTQ community and wrote a great book called unclobber which I think is one of the easiest to read, well studied and thought out resources for anyone who wants to understand how a Christian can hold an affirming position.

Here is some of what we talk about:

* Exploring who we really are?
* Do certain expressions of church stifle exploring our true identity?
* Why communities need to be safe places to ask questions
* Why the church is worth saving
* Why leaders need to be vulnerable and open
* The problem with linking our beliefs to our standing with God
* How to handle inter-church relations when there is so much difference of opinion?
* Why is homosexuality THE issue in the church?
* Why is it most people who change their minds on this topic have a loved one who is LGBTQ?
* Is there something we can do to make ourselves more open to changing our views on theological issues?
* Is this just a slippery slope?
