Listen "24. LGBTI Christian"
Episode Synopsis
Rachel Gilson says she grew up knowing two things instinctively: she was romantically attracted to women and Christians were NOT ok with that. Smart, sophisticated, with a love for big ideas not small minds … Rachel Gilson sounds like she’s the poster girl for that common critique of Christianity - that it’s unhelpful and unhealthy for those with lesbian, gay, or bisexual orientations. But that is not her story.Rachel discovered that it was possible to walk a round that led between her same-sex attraction and a love of God. Her conclusions, including her life choices will surprise you. Yet Rachel’s quest to understand God and His opinion of her desires provide one of the most provocative, interesting and inspiring stories Undeceptions has had privilege to present.LINKSFor more on Rachel Gilson, check out her web site.And while you're clicking, have a look at the Undeceptions web site for all sorts of cool stuff related to undeceiving the worldSpecial thanks to Zondervan Academic, our show sponsorUndeceptions would like to encourage you to check out Zondervan Academic's latest publication, Collected Essays of N.T.
