Summary

My guest for The Happy Hour #403 is Rebecca McLaughlin. Rebecca McLaughlin holds a Ph.D. from Cambridge University and a theology degree from Oak Hill College. Her first book, "Confronting Christianity: 12 Hard Questions for the World's Largest Religion" was named Christianity Today's 2020 Book of the Year! In this episode, we talk a lot about her book Confronting Christianity and how some parts of it wrestle with difficult history and topics. Rebecca also dives into conversations about LGBTQ+, and how it is an area that many Christians choose to bury their heads in the sand with. She talks about her own experience with same-sex attraction and how she reconciles her devotion to Christ with a desire she never asked for. I love when Rebecca says “One of Satan’s greatest tools against any of us is to make us feel like our particular temptation is one we can’t talk to our friends about.” For the full summary and links to the show, click the link below!

0:34.0	before we get to the show, I want to tell you about something fun that we're doing at the happy
0:37.7	hour. We are partnering with an organization called ICM, the Global Church Developer, and you guys
0:43.2	were building a church together in Northern Uganda. Now this church has been alive and well and
0:49.2	active for 30 plus years. Their pastor has been doing amazing work at their Karuma church,
0:54.8	but they don't have a building. And so we want to come alongside them. They have the land,
0:58.5	they have the workers, and we want to help bring in the funds to help them have a building where
1:03.0	they can continue to meet and do the work that God's asked them to do. ICM, the organization
