Summary

Is it okay to come out and call yourself a “Gay Christian,” as long as you don’t act on your desires? If someone struggles with same-sex attraction or gender confusion, can they accept those as part of their identity, adopt preferred pronouns and even identifying as “trans?” According to Side B theology, the answer to both of these questions is yes. These are ideas that are being heavily promoted in conservative evangelical circles, and Christians really need to be aware of what’s coming to a church near you. In today’s episode, Alisa and Natasha give a quick primer on what side B theology is, who are some of the main players, and share some concerns for you to consider as you think through these questions for yourself.

But first, an announcement and our tips of the week.

1:13.0

Well, I want to start by acknowledging that our regular listeners hear about our unshaken conferences all the time and probably wonder why we include announcements about them every week.

1:21.0

So I just want to explain that we have new listeners who are coming in all the time and even people who listen to us often don't necessarily listen to every single episode. So we just want to be sure that everyone gets the news of what we're doing somehow.
