"Gay" Christian, must you date to be a faithful disciple? w/ Marco Casanova
Did you really just say there's no such thing as a gay orientation? 😂😂
Heterosexuality isnt that great for those of us who arent Heterosexual
Yes, "ex-gays" are fraudulent
So you're judging people who are trying to follow extremely difficult church teachings? There's a reason the church is in decline. Personally, I believe all loving relationships are honored by God, straight or not. And if you don't buy into that, you should be praising celibate lgbtq people for their discipline. Also Eden Invitation is great, and one of the few organizations keeping me even remotely involved in the Catholic church
pipe dream, never will be a 3rd party investigation, bickle has circled the field on this. long gone
Annette wasn’t playing 😂
She ain't playin games...
I think I saw her on Annie F. Downs...Thank you! ❤ Susi
Living Waters was the beginning of my release from the brokenness of SSA. Thank you, Andrew, for living out God's purpose for your life. I'm now involved with the Courage Apostolate of the Catholic Church.
Bless you friend!
I would love to see the Living Waters program one of the tools available through Couragerc.org.
Fresh Fire tonight! So want to be there! Interceding for you all!
I love this and have been proud to have been part of the Living Waters community! ❤
Beautiful ❤
Thank you, Andy, for your faithful witness, offered with reverence, humility, and strength, and ever a touch of playfulness that exemplifies joy in the presence of God, the suffering and overcoming Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
So good!
😂😂😂
Glory to God, who is faithful! Praise His holy and magnificent Name!
Beautiful! What God has done, what you have done in Him, It is Beautiful.
Awesome! That was great and a good invitation.
Love the Humor!
Thank you so much for this.
Ohh I’m so enthused. Definitely 👍! Will be in touch! Thank you for your ministry Dean I really was encouraged by your prayer!
What a comedy show at the beginning.
A day in the life...
Dogs are so special
Sorry for your loss! Much Love!!
Let people live their lives the way they need to live. It is not up to you to tell others how to live their lives.
Andrew, thank you for shedding light on the deception and danger of Revoice/Side B Gay Christianity, I’ve learned that embracing a “sexual orientation” paradigm and “celibate gay Christian” identity is unhelpful and limiting, like being encased in concrete with no ability to grow, and like trying to mix oil and water (the “gay” aspect surpassing allegiance to Jesus). I Had to learn to put off the gay aspect, as the Bible says in Eph. 4:22-24, to “put off your old self, which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful desires, and be renewed in the spirit of your minds, and put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.” Proponents of Revoice/Side B Gay Christianity are misleading unsuspecting ones into an anemic space of not understanding and addressing the underlying factors contributing to their sexual brokenness and disorder, including personal pain, wounds, unmet developmental needs, sin patterns, addictions, and emotional immaturity. They are not preaching the full Gospel of Jesus Christ: repentance, justification, healing, sanctification and transformation. They elevate a "gay identity" as a special sensibility for the church and something too precious to alter, and are offering vulnerable ones little or no hope for sanctification/transformation at their core, in their sexuality. Vulnerable ones are being influenced to remain in a static place of non-growth and limited relational capacity. Thank you for communicating truth and the transformative power of the Gospel!
How did this ignorant bigotry end up in my feed?
Thanks for following us!
Concise and poignant. Yes, someone using a gay self-label is not developmentally ready to marry.
lol
Yes, JESUS makes us better than we were before. Praise His holy Name! God continue to bless you and Annette and your ministry for the glory of God.
Thank you for the call to repentance! Yes a series! ♥️
My SWEET and OH SO INTELLIGENT friend! ♥️
I love the clarity
I’m signing up this weekend!
Hey Andy, glad to see you thriving. Fond memories of our UCLA/Vineyard days.
You all crack me up!
Andrew, I love your messages and what you are trying to do this month. Why reference and give recognition to what you are against. Your offering is better in and of itself. There is no need to reference anything other than that.
9:46 Maybe I’m wrong but I keep thinking about Paul the Apostle and his word on celibacy. If you’re not burning then don’t worry about it just do the work of the Kingdom. Years ago two people told me that I would have many people attracted to me and that has proven true I am too sexy for my shirt it hurts… lol remember that old song 🎵. I’m just in control by the power of the Holy Ghost now to use that same ability over food 🍱! God is going to really bless ds as he has in the past and through my creative career I sincerely hope to be one of many who can expand your ministry able to help the people who are suffering with broken boundaries
What a beautiful bride! She gives me hope!
I love this
Andy lives it...thank you. We persevere.
What would jesus say, I love you, come to me, I'm able to set you free.
23:39 Thanks for plugging my CrossCurrent, David! I'm in Pottstown, PA, LOL!
Excellent! Jesus was LED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT to be tempted! Being tempted is not a sin - it is a chance to win a battle!!!
Thanks for saying this outloud. Our shepherds have forgotten that they arn't ivory tower academics, they are shepherds. Utterly responsible for guiding and protecting us.
Does Mary play a part in your story? If yes, how so?
God has decided what sin is! The letter that he wrote back to the husband clearly showed that he was trying to cover it up and made veiled threats! The women should’ve gone to the police whenever this happened but abusers always threaten their victims!
This was so awesome, insightful, and so clear about every human struggle and especially the HOW to be real and seek the healer of our broken and wounded hearts!! A BIG encouragement for this struggler, needed to hear, thanks to you three and to the Lord!!
Congratulations Amanda and Rich! You have surrendered to Jesus and are persevering with Him. You are now on the cusp of a wonderful, deepening adventure with Him and each other. May He continue to bless you both! Andrew, thank you for highlighting this encouraging story!
Important points that I personally resonate with, were made in the latter half of this video: • I had built up “scaffolding as defense mechanisms and identity”, having lived homosexually, gender confused, and gay identified earlier in life, and knew in my heart of hearts that “something was amiss in me.” I had taken on walls and adopted a persona that wasn’t real. • I agree that it’s very difficult for a person to put aside the scaffolding because of the fear “is there anything of me going to be left if that’s gone?” Contemplating change can be scary, and my experience and sense of self as a man was underdeveloped and malnourished. I agree that “we do make peace with the things that afflict us and we’re hesitant to receive what can free us.” Thankfully, God worked in me a “holy discontent” that He had more for me, in relationship with Him and others, than what I was settling for. Living Waters was the catalyst that started major change in my life. • Andrew, I agree with you that change requires encounter with Jesus. This awakens the eyes of our heart to His loving, gentle and merciful character, and, thus, there is “a shift - body, soul, and spirit -- that frees us to say, ‘I actually am in great need.’” My homosexual identification was a defense against reality and having my real needs met. • I agree that turning toward Jesus involves turning toward members of His Body in community, and we cannot have one without the other, to experience “this sexual/moral shift and shift in identification”. We know Jesus through His body, the church. Warts and all, I experienced the love, kindness and acceptance of my pastor, therapist, and followers of Jesus in Living Waters and elsewhere. Over time I was able to lower my guard with trustworthy people and become more open, transparent and joyful.
