Metamorphosis is the podcast of Trinity United Methodist Church in Piedmont, Missouri, where we share the unchanging love of Jesus to change people’s lives.
What does the Bible say about LGBTQ people and relationships? It's more complicated than you might think when you dig into the historical, cultural, social, and linguistic contexts of the relevant verses. Why did King Asa and King Josiah expel "male shrine prostitutes" from Israel but not their patrons? Whom did Paul have in mind when he wrote about "arsenokoitai"?
Metamorphosis's host, Eric, doesn't try to change anyone's mind about same-sex relationships. Instead, he explores the contexts of the relevant Bible verses in an effort to create space for different Christians to think differently about LGBTQ people yet continue respecting each other's faithfulness and occupying the same spaces, denominations, churches, small groups, and ministries.
