How To Live A Rich Life As A Christian With Same-Sex Attraction - Rachel Gilson
Rachel Gilson serves on the leadership team for theological development and culture for Cru, and is the author of Born Again This Way: Coming Out, Coming to Faith and What Comes Next as well as Parenting Without Panic in an LGBT Affirming World: Discipling our Kids with Jesus’ Truth and Love.
I wanted to speak to Rachel after reading some of her brilliant writing about reconciling faithful Christian discipleship with same-sex attraction in a hyper-sexualised society where sexual preference is constantly discussed. I love how Rachel speaks on this topic and feel that she brings an important perspective to the table.
Some highlights from this episode include how Rachel converted to Christianity after being a staunch atheist, how to parent children about LGBT issues, and the helpful and unhelpful ways Christians discuss these sensitive issues.

    This is one of the greatest interviews and testimonies pertaining to the subject of coming out of same-sex attraction/homosexuality. I had never heard of her before. She's absolutely brilliant, and so eloquent in her reasoning; she really dug and gleaned God's wisdom on this, not allowing her own flesh desires to win over ultimate Truth. She said so many things that are so chock-full of God's wisdom, I need to watch it again and jot them down, because they're just really helpful for the sake of defending the gospel in general. She's quite an apologetics expert, actually. What a gem to stumble upon! I pray this gets more views and that many people who struggle with that will be saved by Jesus! Glory to God - may this be an instrument to bring more lost sheep into the fold of our loving Father 🙏 Also, you are a fantastic listener - you allowed her to talk, and listened intently without interrupting.👍

    It’s wild that people can be so thoughtful and critical about concepts, without applying that same rigor to their own belief in a massively warped mythology. You don’t need to feel dissonance about being homosexual just because one ancient mythological text implied that you shouldn’t be homosexual. It said a lot of things that Christians largely ignore. Oh yeah, and it’s just mythology.

    I thank you both for this episode. I'm a parent to neurodiverse kiddos, two of whom are teenagers who identify at LGBTQ+. As such, they refuse to join us at church. However, I've been trying to figure out how to still draw them to Christ. While one has bitter anger towards God and anything dealing with religion, the other actually likes to have religious discussions from time to time and feels drawn to God. Unfortunately, she doesn't feel safe at our church and is put off by mainstream Christianity. I'm trying to help them grow where they are, and while the understanding shared I think is beyond where they are now, I'll have to give these books a read for further wisdom into how to draw them to Christ wherever they are at.

      Thank you for sharing this, and thank you for your sincere efforts to draw your kids to God. Maybe you could reach out to Rachel and share this with her?

    The book of Mormon teaches that anything that persuade us to do good is of God. If we have an impulse, an inkling, or any thought of something we should do that is good, you can know it is of God.

    Although I don't experience same-sex attraction, I have found the principles that Rachel shares - of aligning our desires with God, transparency with Him, and the joy of precise obedience - to be so helpful in my faith journey.

    So glad I watched this video. I am certainly going to look for this. I am wondering if these cultures make accepting the restored gospel a bit easier. Here in the US when you tell someone that God and his Son appeared to Joseph Smith. Then later the original apostles appeared restoring the priesthood. The reaction is typically divisive I have had visions and dreams. Very few few and far between, but I do not talk about it as people will immediately think I need professional help and medication.

    • @forallthesaintspod
      @forallthesaintspod 5 днів тому

    • @debbiejones8604

    Bro Watson's story regarding his conundrum with the sister missionaries reminded me of my own experience. Many years ago I was able to serve a two week mission in the Columbus Ohio mission. They were going to be down one sister as one was returning home and another was not due for two weeks. A senior couple labouring in our tiny branch recommended me to the mission president. I was told that if I was unable to fill in as a full time missionary for two weeks the remaining sister would have to live in the mission home during that time. I was unable to go on a formal mission due to family disapproval and lack of funding. But this was wonderful way to get a small taste of missionary life.

    I disagree. Curate instead of disallow entirely. But if you can't curate what they are exposed to and help them interpret it... then delay until you can. But oversheltering them into isolation, isn't preparation or teaching them wise habits of self awareness. Racial identity? Did he really say that? Narcissism is pride... a substitute for an identity as a child of God and it disconnects into delusion instead of connecting to male people better. There is so much of pride we can avoid by centering our identity in Christ and family and as human with true empathy. Racial and ethnic identity are too easily hijacked by narcissism into evil abuses and dehumanizing (yes their is a trigger word for some.being conditioned into hate right now), dehumanizing or... de-empathozing or losing charity for other children of God. Love your enemies. Be in the world but strong enough to still follow Christ, not isolationist in pride. Narcissism is a counterfeit of love and is the polar opposite of charity. It is the antichrist opposite of the love Christ has for these people around us. This video is horrible advice. Teach Christ. Not this philosophy. Needs work. Try again.
