Evangelicals: Have you ever wondered, "Why do we actually believe being queer is sinful?" Maybe you felt guilty just for thinking it. Because questioning the pastor, the church, or the Bible wasn't just discouraged, it felt like cracking a door open for something dangerous. And with your eternal soul on the line, how do you honestly wrestle with questions that could cost you your friendships, your family, maybe even your income?
You are in good company.
What you're feeling is real. You've been rewarded for going along, for keeping things humming. What catches most of us off guard is discovering that our belonging was always conditional, predicated on silent agreement. Not questioning earned you affirmation, dinner invites, and slaps on the back.
And yet. You still have questions.
Those questions are holy. Sacred, even. And where they lead you matters just as much as the journey itself. There is more capacity to love than you've been handed. The fear and potential loss are real, too. I'm not going to minimize that.
Here's what I want to offer:
A closed, private gathering to process your questions alongside others in a similar place. All those things the church, the Bible, and our leaders have handed us over the years that we might not want to carry any longer. Registration is private. The location is not public. Safety is the priority. We have several times to gather, and space is limited to ensure the quality of conversation.
