Summary

Netflix recently released a documentary on the so-called “Ex-Gay” movement, highlighting its lies and all the damage it’s done to gay Christians. What are the pros of the movie? And what are the cons? My good friend Tony Scarcello and I evaluate this provocative documentary. Tony Scarcello is a pastor, speaker, and writer located in Springfield, Oregon. He regularly speaks at churches, camps, retreats, and conferences. Tony is also the host of the Regenerate Podcast and the author of the book Regenerate: Finding Jesus After Deconstruction. When he isn’t doing those things you can find him analyzing movies, reading theology, or spending time with his wife Kelsey, friends, and family. Faith, Sexuality, and Gender Conference - Live in Boise or Stream Online In the all-day conference, Dr. Preston Sprinkle dives deep into the theological, relational, and ministry-related questions that come up in the LGBTQ conversation.

0:00.0	Hello, friends. Welcome back to another episode of theology in the raw. I have on the
0:03.5	show today one of the most delightful human beings that I know Tony Scarcello. He's a pastor. He's
0:09.4	a speaker. He's a writer. He just published his first book called Regenerate following Jesus
0:15.4	after deconstruction that I highly recommend. He was on the podcast about a year ago talking about
0:19.4	the book. And it's just it's one of those books that's really hard to put down. Put down if you
0:24.1	or anybody you know is wrestling with some kind of deconstruction in their faith journey. I highly
0:29.9	recommend this book. In this episode, we do talk about the book a little bit at the beginning,
0:34.0	but we mainly focus on the new Netflix documentary, pray away. We look at the pros and the cons of this
0:42.7	documentary and discuss all things related to reparative or conversion or ex-gay therapy. And
0:50.1	I think you'll enjoy this conversation. Speaking of sexuality, faith, and gender, we are going to
0:56.2	have a faith sexuality and gender conference here in Boise, October 20th to the 21st. Encourage you
1:02.0	if you can. Grab a plane flight and get out here to Boise. It's an amazing town. You only have to
1:07.3	spend one night. You can get you out of here before four o'clock. You can jump on the next plane
1:11.7	flight home. Or we are live streaming the event as well. So if you can't come out here or you don't
1:18.2	want to sit in the audience, consider live streaming it with you. Just as an individual or with
1:28.1	a team of leaders or a discipleship group or a Bible study or involved in would encourage you to
1:33.6	check that out. You can go to centerforfaith.com forward slash events to get all the info on that
1:38.9	event. Also, if you want to support the show, you can go to patreon.com forward slash theology
1:44.0	into Ross. Support the show for as little as five bucks a month to get access to premium content.
1:48.6	Once a month, patreon only blogs and podcasts and interactions throughout the week. So again,
1:54.0	all the information is in the show notes. All right, without further ado, let's dive into Netflix's
1:59.6	right away with the one and only Tony Scarcella.
