This is a legitimate question with a legitimate answer. In this session, we will explore this topic equipping you and the leaders in your church to respond to this question with confidence. Steve Brannan Great Lakes Regional Director, Chi Alpha

“As ones who have been shown mercy, may we [Christians] demonstrate God's compassion toward those who embrace all things LGBTQ” writes Linda Seiler in Transformation. “At the same time, may we hold fast to God's Word, refusing to compromise on His sacred design for sexuality that images the gospel. Such compassion without compromise reflects God's heart and leads to transformation.” In this episode of the Influence Podcast, I talk to Seiler about her former desire to become a man, and how Jesus Christ transformed her from the inside out. I'm George P. Wood, executive editor of Influence magazine and your host. Linda Seiler, Ph.D., is an ordained Assemblies of God minister, a Chi Alpha missionary, and executive director of ReStory ministries. She is author of Transformation: A Former Transgender Responds to LGBTQ. ————— This episode of the Influence podcast is brought to you by My Healthy Church, distributors of Captivated.

On today's program, another person has sued the Assemblies of God and the denomination's college ministry Chi Alpha. The victim, who is blind, claims he was sexually abused by one of the Chi Alpha leaders over the span of five years. We'll have details. Also, Christians are often among the first to give to humanitarian aid nonprofits when a crisis hits—but where does the money go? We talked with some of the biggest ministries, like Samaritan's Purse and World Vision, to find out. And, Compassion International reclassified itself as an association of church with the IRS—meaning they no longer release public form 990s. We'll look deeper into what that means. But first, a legal victory for Child Evangelism Fellowship after their Good News Clubs were kicked out of public schools in Providence, Rhode Island last year.

We'll have details. Plus, popular pastor Alistair Begg—whose radio program was dropped by American Family Radio last week—is standing by his advice about attending an LGBTQ wedding. We'll explain.  And, the deadline for churches to disaffiliate from the United Methodist Church has passed…and the results are in. We'll look at how many congregations have left. We begin today with news that a Texas dad has sued the Assemblies of God denomination, its North Texas District, and its college ministry Chi Alpha, for negligence that resulted in the sexual abuse and grooming of his son. Stephen Holt sued in a state district court in Harris County, Texas, claiming that the Assemblies of God was negligent in allowing registered sex offender Daniel Savala to have access to children and for failing to warn families about his background and the dangers he posed.  FINAL THOUGHTS I'll be in California, Colorado, Tennessee, and Texas over the next month, and if you live in those states, I'd like to meet you.
