Last night, Phoenix Seminary was pleased to host author and speaker Sam Allberry to speak on the topic “Is God Anti-Gay?” A global speaker for Ravi Zacharias International Ministries, Sam spoke with conviction, grace, and pastoral sensitivity on a topic of major cultural significance. From his personal experience as someone with same-sex attraction, he encouraged the church with the following seven points:

1. We can’t ignore the issue
2. We need to make this issue okay to talk about
3. We need to celebrate a Biblical view of sexuality
4. We need to honor singleness in our churches
5. We need to promote friendship
6. We need to provide good pastoral care
7. Remember that church is family

Time was given at the end for Q&A. The full video of Sam’s talk is available on our Facebook page and is posted below.
