0:00.0	Hello, friends. Welcome back to another episode of Theology in the Raw. I have on the show today,
0:04.8	Ed Shaw. Ed Shaw is the author of a few books. The one that I'm most familiar with
0:11.2	is Same-sex Attraction and the Church. Subtitle is the surprising plausibility of the
0:17.2	celibate life which raises lots of questions. And Ed is a Christian who does experience Same-sex
0:25.0	Attraction. He's also a pastor. He's the co-founder of a brilliant organization in the UK called
0:31.4	Living Out. Living Out is very similar to the Center for Face Sexuality and Gender. I would
0:36.8	consider living out like a sister organization to the organization that I help run. And Ed is a
0:42.2	co-founder of that organization. They continue to do just amazing work addressing pastoral and
0:50.4	relational theological issues of surrounding sex, sexuality, and gender in the church.
0:55.6	Ed also, and we talk about this, but he's coming out with a new book called Purposeful Sexuality,
1:02.3	a short Christian introduction that book releases in the States on March 23rd. I believe it
1:08.8	is already released in the UK or soon to be released. But Ed is just a kind, humble, wise
1:15.9	person. I just have learned a lot about Ed from his books and just by observing him over the
1:22.5	years. He's just, I mean, truly is like a model Christian. He makes no claims to be perfect. But
1:30.4	I just, I think he's really just a wonderful human being. And we talk about a lot of stuff related
1:34.0	to sex, sexuality, desire, marriage, church, community, and all that fun stuff. If you would like
1:40.8	to support this show, you can go to patreon.com forward slash Theology Naraugh and become part
1:45.8	of the theology in the rock community and get access to premium content. I have lots of stuff
1:53.2	that I write about and talk about on Theology Naraugh that is only available to my Patreon
1:59.3	supporters. So if you want to support the show, patreon.com forward slash Theology Naraugh,
2:03.0	support the show for as little as five bucks a month. Also, we did have some audio issues or
2:09.7	internet issues in this podcast. Oh my gosh, almost lost my sanctification. My internet cut out twice
