I don't know if that's a good place to find unity. Again, let's find our unity in Christ and His holiness and His perfection.

Not on well, just this one part is sin, but a lot of people are actually giving into other parts that are sin and then we're okaying it by saying we need to be united.

Welcome to the Alisa Childers Podcast. Have you been hearing about all the controversies surrounding side A Christianity and side B Christianity?

If you're unfamiliar with all that's going on, we're going to bring you up to speed to discuss a biblical view of sexuality with a special guest today, Christopher Yuan, and what it might look like for a Christian who experiences the same sex attraction to faithfully follow Jesus.

Before we get to that, I want to invite you to subscribe to the YouTube channel and click that bell icon to be notified every time we release a new video because we have some really great stuff coming up.

Next week we're going to be talking with Rosaria Butterfield continuing our little mini series here on biblical sexuality. We're going to be talking about identity and how Christians should understand themselves in light of Scripture.

And maybe not so much in light of people like Freud or Darwin. So that's going to be a fascinating conversation. We've got a couple of book reviews coming up.

I'm going to be reviewing the making of biblical womanhood with Diana Williams from Southern evangelical seminary who's been on the podcast before to talk about Christianity and feminism.

We're also going to review Jesus and John Wayne with Anne Kennedy, also a former guest of the podcast who actually wrote a review of Jesus and John Wayne for the Christian Research Institute.

So we're going to be bringing you our thoughts on those books coming up. So definitely subscribe if you're listening on audio platforms.

If you leave a good review and share these posts that really helps get the word out to more people.

A couple other things coming up on July 19th. We have the another gospel participants guide six sessions on the search for truth and response to the claims of progressive Christianity coming out along with a video curriculum.

The pre-order for that is up on Amazon. Now already guys the video for this is amazing.

They rented out a beautiful coffee shop J. Werner Wallace joined me and John McCray from the What do you mean podcast joined me to discuss the claims of progressive Christianity to give your small groups at church a six week curriculum to walk through together as you read through the book another gospel.

So again, go to Amazon and you can take a look at that pre order link. It's called another gospel participant guide six sessions on the search for truth in response to the claims of progressive Christianity.

And now want to get to my guest today. Christopher Yuan graduated from Moody Bible Institute in 2005. He has a master's in biblical exegesis, Doctor of ministry. He got that in 2014.

He taught the Bible at Moody Institute for 12 years and his speaking ministry on faith and sexuality has reached five continents.

He's written some really great books that I recommend to you. He's been on the podcast before to talk about them. One is called out of a far country, a gay sun's journey to God, a broken mother's search for hope and also holy sexuality and the gospel sex desire and relationships shaped by God's grand story.

So Christopher, thank you so much for joining me today. I'm so thrilled to have you back on the podcast video this time. You are on is just when it was audio before.

Yeah, good to be on with you, Alisa. It's just really appreciate you and your in your voice. Well, likewise. And for anyone who may not be familiar with you, just orient us a little bit with your story. How did you come to faith in Jesus?

I came out of the closet in my early 20s, which I think is a little bit older than, you know, kind of the average today, which is usually, you know, teens or even before that.
