    Can Christianity Affirm LGBTQ Identity? w/ Dr. Hershael York

    It’s becoming common for Christian leaders and denominations to reject biblical authority when it comes to human sexuality and marriage. In a recent column in the Lexington Herald-Leader one Kentucky pastor goes so far as to bless the LGBTQ community. The column says Kentucky’s conversion therapy is an affront to the gospel of Jesus Christ. But does God really bless all sexual identities? We are joined by Dr. Hershael York, Dean of the School of Theology at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary and pastor emeritus of Buck Run Baptist Church joins to discuss this.
