What is covered in this Leaders Digest?
There will be two sessions, as follows:
Session 1: Understanding same-sex
The first 30-minute video is an interview with Ed, which seeks to help us understand the SSA terminology, the nature and origin of the condition and how as pastors or leaders we might properly speak with someone struggling with SSA. We have deliberately started with one longer introduction video because everyone needs to appreciate all these basic aspects of SSA before engaging in discussion.
Session 2: Seeking out the right response to same-sex attraction
In the second interview we look more deeply at how we help those facing the challenges of being SSA and how churches can help these people live a healthy God-honouring life. More specifically, we open up the issue of homophobia, the need for intimacy in our lives, how those with SSA can find God-honouring intimacy and what that might mean for the church. We also explore how leaders might respond to a request by a same-sex couple that are in an established relationship and want to know if they can join the church.
