060 - I Disagree with Dave: Same-Sex Relationships
Description
Thinking Out Loud is a place to digest audibly the things we tend to think through silently. We'll look at a variety of complex issues from a variety of points of view, not necessarily to get to "right answers" but to build empathy and perspective.
This is our second episode in a series called 'I Disagree with Dave.' Today, Alex DeMarco is up and he disagrees with Dave on the nature of same sex relationships. Alex is fully affirming and Dave is not. As two straight men having this conversation, we absolutely wanted to point you in the direction of gay Christians who have wrestled through these topics themselves. Those resources range from affirming to non-affirming as well and you can find them here:
- God and the Gay Christian by Matthew Vines
- Bad Theology Kills by Kevin Garcia
- Same Sex Unions in Premodern Europe by John Boswell
- A Time to Embrace by Williams Stacy Johnson
- Changing Our Mind by David Gushee
- Gay Girl, Good God by Jackie Hill Perry
- Heavy Burdens by Bridget Eileen Rivera (and here is a link to my interview with Bridget)
- Sam Alberry
Alex has previous been on two other episodes talking about Christian ethics and the inerrancy of Scripture.
