Inverted Orthodoxy 416- LGBTQ and serving in the church

Welcome to the Inverted Orthodoxy Podcast! We're Blake, Kyle, and Doug the pastors from Living Springs, here to take you on a weekly adventure through the twists and turns of faith. Got questions? We've got answers, and sometimes more questions! Join us as we explore, celebrate, and embrace the beautiful complexities of belief. This weeks episode tackles the following question:

AER for episode 414 - Doug mentioned that we should be reading scripture through the lens of Christ. Christ loved everyone he encountered and didn’t turn people away - should this not apply to the question of lgbtq+ serving in our church? Jesus called people to walk with him and serve him before he checked their ‘appropriateness’, tax collectors, fisherman, etc. They grew through their relationships and service to him. If we’re reading scripture through the lens of Christ and have made accommodations for people who are divorced and remarried, as you mentioned, why is lgbtq+ different?
