Are you ready to unpack the controversial subject of biblical sexuality? This robust discourse kicks off with a fun chat with Malcolm, revealing his upcoming book and meet-up with historical icon, Malcolm X. While you might wonder what drink we'd share with any historic figure, prepare for a pivot as we plunge into the pressing question - Is the Bible Pro-Gay? As we traverse this convoluted terrain of sexual ethics, theological perspectives, and biblical views on homosexuality, we invite you to join us and engage in this intense exploration. But be prepared, as the discomfort might just be the catalyst for profound transformation.
As we proceed, we confront the church's history concerning sexual matters head-on. We then plead for Christians to lead with humility, curiosity, and openness to where the scriptures may lead us. As we close the conversation, we contemplate celibacy as the eventual goal for everyone and our mutual responsibility in supporting each other. Don't miss this episode where we candidly discuss the pressing issue of biblical sexuality and its myriad facets.
