We are currently in the Friendship Series. The first week I asked you to draw a friendship timeline. That laid the foundation of looking at past and current friendships, as well as noticing healthy and unhealthy themes in this area. Last week we discussed gossip. This week we are going after another sin that is sure to bring friendships down - jealousy. Andy Stanley describes the problem with jealousy in his book Enemies of the Heart - "Jealousy is dangerous. It's dangerous because it shapes our attitudes toward other people. It's hard to actively love someone you're jealous of. It's hard to serve (or submit to) someone who's a constant reminder of what you're not. Eventually, jealousy takes control of our attitudes toward people who have done nothing more than pull ahead of us in a race they're not even aware of." Scripture: Proverbs 27:4, "Wrath is cruel, and anger is overwhelming, but who can stand before jealousy?" James 3:13-18, "Who is wise and understanding among you? Let them show it by their good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom. But if you harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast about it or deny the truth. Such “wisdom” does not come down from heaven but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic. For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice. But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. Peacemakers who sow in peace reap a harvest of righteousness." Three Rs to eliminate comparison: RECOGNIZE REPENT REJOICE Process: Ask God if there is anyone in your life you need to recognize and repent of jealousy Challenge: Pray over the person you are tempted to compare or notice a jealous spirit come over you when you think of them.  Consider sending your friends a text or note telling them why you are grateful for them. Resource: In my book, Image Restored, the last counselor cornerstone activity is called the Community Wheel. If you own the book, I suggest you use that activity throughout this friendship series.

Lying to ourselves to feel good about ourselves keeps us from doing what's good for ourselves.

Andy Stanley recently did a outreach conference at his church Northpoint on how parents should approach having a child that identifies as LGBTQ+ which sounds like a great idea on paper. However the event didn't exactly do what it promised and we're discussing what happened.  Support the show

Andy Stanley seems to contradict himself in his recent “Unconditional” conference. Andy invited gay married speakers to speak at the conference and subsequently speak against such unions. Bro T and Dr D discuss how churches can deal fairly with families and children who identify as LGBTQ+.

From Andrew Tate to Andy Stanley, the voices of our age have either redefined marriage--emptying it of value--or given up on marriage altogether, casting it as an oppressive net evil. Where are the Christian voices standing up for God's design? Right here. Josh Bingaman joins us to rediscover God's design of marriage, addressing modern misapprehensions/myths, what critics get right(?), and why the oldest institution is still worth defending.

If our money could talk, what would it tell us? You might be shocked to find out that what our money would say is pretty close to what Jesus did say—and what we should still consider today. Does our money add meaning to our lives or is it the meaning of our lives?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today is the long-awaited response to Andy Stanley's LGBTQ sermon at the Unconditional Conference. We go in-depth with what exactly Stanley said in his sermon about Christianity in relation to LGBTQ issues and "identities" and his statement that Rosaria Butterfield and Dr. Christopher Yuan, who have an abundance of wisdom on this topic, have nothing to say to parents struggling with their kids' LGBTQ "identities." But what does Stanley get wrong by claiming that homosexuality is an identity, and why does it matter? We answer these questions and underline one of LGBTQ-affirming Christianity's biggest faults. --- Timecodes: (03:43) Background (07:36) Dr. Al Mohler's WORLD (12:59) Reaction to Unconditional Conference (18:32) Response to Stanley's sermon (38:29) Laure Perry, Christopher Yuan, Rosaria Butterfield, Becket Cook (52:02) Dr. Michael Brown & Andy Stanley (56:40) Gender confusion: Stanley vs. the Bible (01:03:00) God's definition of marriage --- Today's Sponsors: A'Del — go to adelnaturalcosmetics.com and enter promo code "ALLIE" for 25% off your first order!

Statistics show that one in five Gen Z children are identifying somewhere on the LGBTQ spectrum. One in five. Parents must realize that all of our children are dealing with this issue, because even if our kids aren't personally struggling in their sexuality, their friends are. This issue affects every parent and every child.    The church needs to have a loving and truthful approach for families facing this issue.   One of the largest and most influential churches in the United States, North Point Community Church, pastored by one of the most influential ministers in the world, Andy Stanley, just went on the record telling us about his church's approach. Stanley's message, along with the Unconditional Conference for parents of LGBTQ identifying children held at North Point, signify a substantial departure from where the evangelical church has stood on this issue.   Does Stanley have the right approach? Is it Biblical? Should we be concerned?   Catherine's guest in this episode has been ministering to parents of children in the LGBTQ community for many years because she is one. As a mother of a same-sex attracted daughter who has embraced an LGBTQ identity and union, Melinda Patrick is precisely the kind of parent that the Unconditional Conference was trying to reach. But she has deep concerns about this conference and Stanley's teaching.   Together, Catherine and Melinda break down the troubling aspects of this conference and the message that Andy Stanley presented to his church.   Melinda's Bio: Melinda Patrick is the Director of Parent Support for His Wonderful Works and is host of The Bridge Between Us Podcast: Loving Your LGBTQ Identified Child While Not Compromising Truth and The Even While Podcast: Living Well in the Midst of Waiting. Melinda has parented a same-sex attracted child for twelve years and is passionate about helping moms and dads build strong relationships with their children while not compromising truth.   RESOURCES MENTIONED/REFERENCED:   Melinda Patrick's Website Melinda Patrick's email address: melinda@melindapatrick.org Melinda Patrick's Instagram Page The Bridge Between Us Podcast: Loving Your LGBTQ Identified Child Well While Not Compromising Truth The Even While Podcast: Living Well in the Midst of Waiting His Wonderful Works: Hope Healing and Freedom   Catherine Segars email address: catherine@catherinesegars.com   “The Number of LGBTQ Identifying Adults is Soaring” (Axios/data from Gallup) “The Train is Leaving the Station” by Albert Mohler Jr. Andy Stanley's Response: “I Love My Church” Greg & Lynn McDonald: Embracing the Journey The Unconditional Conference Debbie Causey's Website The Freedom March   SCRIPTURES REFERENCED:   John 3:16-21 Matthew 10:34-36 John 18:37 John 14:15 John 15:14 John 15:1 John 8:30-31 Matthew 18:7 Matthew 7:21-23 2 Corinthians 6:14-18 Romans 6:23 Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

Ken welcomes back author, journalist, and poet, Rick Pidcock. Recently, Andy Stanley sponsored an event called the Unconditional Conference designed specifically for parents whose children "come out" as Queer or LGBTQ. He expressed his deep concern for the ways in which the church has been complicit in creating family conflict that causes parents to choose their church and their theology over their children. On the popular online site Baptist News Global, Rick published two in-depth articles addressing the conference and the conservative critics who surfaced attacking Stanley for embracing this marginalized community. These critics include Al Mohler, Mark Driscoll, R.C. Sproul, and Focus on the Family. Ken and Rick share their own journeys in changing their minds. Rick traces much of the conversation around father wounds. Rick has also written about the crisis of the war between Israel and Palestine.

Is it normal for Christians to experience seasons of doubt? The truth is, doubt can hit any believer at any time, even Christian scholars like Gary Habermas! But are you prepared to do the hard work of combating those false ideas to seek the truth, when so many people in our culture today are jumping ship and taking the easy way out? In this midweek podcast episode, Frank addresses a handful of listener questions surrounding a variety of topics including overcoming our doubts, the legislation of morality, apologetics in the public school system, and much more! Frank will also touch on questions like: Why shouldn't people who are same-sex attracted identify as 'Gay Christians'? Can doubt sometimes be a GOOD thing? Are religion and morality the same? What's going on with Andy Stanley? What do you say when someone calls you transphobic? If you've got objections to the faith, don't panic! For every objection, you can find a reasonable response from people who have struggled with the very same objections, but only if you take the time to look! There's plenty of faulty objections to go around, but as Frank explains, the key is to follow the facts--not your feelings.
