READ: 1 Corinthians 10.31 NLT 'So whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.' Life throws up many challenges for us in the 21st Century, and it was no different in Paul’s day. One of the issues that he had to face was that sometimes meat was taken to pagan temples as an act of worship before being sold by the butchers. Paul is quite clear that pagan gods were not true gods and so it really didn’t matter if the meat had been waved in front of them. But if someone were to point out that they had been presented in the temple then he concluded that it would be better not to eat it, out of respect for the informant’s conscience. It was a tricky issue but clearly a live one in Paul’s day and he had to find a careful way of handling it. The key principle in all of this was that whatever you do it needs to be done for the glory of God. Every day we have to make decisions. Most of them are simple and straightforward but, like Paul, we need to be clear about the guiding principle. We need to ask the question whether or not our actions will bring glory to God. It may be a question about a purchase, or a holiday, or a new job. There may be any number of possible ways forward but the key question is, “What will be most beneficial and pleasing to God?” On the face of it this might sound restricting and limiting, but because of the nature of God it is in fact the opposite of that. As we discover God’s will for our lives, we find true liberty. God’s desire is always to enable us to be more alive. QUESTIONS: As you make decisions today how will you test whether the outcome will be for the glory of God? PRAYER: Thank you, Lord, that you want to bless every part of my life. Help me to share every decision with you so that I might bring glory to you today. Amen

Hello everyone, and welcome to Exiting the A.S.A.P. Lane! Among the social issues that have faced America over the past several decades, few are equal to that involving the rights of the LGBTQ community. The Supreme Court decision, legalizing gay marriage in 2015, finally resolved the legal issues around gay marriage. Citing the Equal Protection clause and the Due Process clause of the 14th amendment to the U.S. Constitution, the court ruled that same-sex couples had the “fundamental right to marry” and that those rights extended to all 50 states. While this decision was widely celebrated among those who felt that this decision was long overdue, it by no means put to rest the much broader issue of discrimination, including acts of violence. This podcast series deals with the issue of stress and anxiety that so many find debilitating and difficult to deal with. This is an issue at the personal level and the society level that remains extremely stressful, anxiety-producing and divisive. I want to thank T. J. Stiga, a family friend for agreeing to be my guest on this topic. He didn’t make the decision to appear and tell his life story lightly. Needless to say, when telling one’s life story requires resurrecting unpleasant memories going all the way back to childhood, and doing it in a public forum like this, it is a decision not made without consternation. Welcome, T.J. and thanks for agreeing to be here today. Questions: As you know, one of the fundamental issues that always comes up in this discussion, is whether this is a chosen lifestyle, or one determined by everyone’s genetic makeup? You’re now 47 years old, when you think back on your childhood teen years, please talk about your sexuality and how it evolved? Have you ever felt any sexual attraction to women? You’ve told me about being bullied in school and the damage this did to your self-esteem and the feeling of not being worthy. There’s an old adage that none of us ever get out of high school. Are you still dealing with any of the teen-age years stuff? Have you officially come out to family and friends? There is a certain stereotypes about gay bars, please talk about that, and how that helped you deal with the “bullying and browbeating” that still continued, but, became a little more manageable after that? Please talk about the differences you’ve observed between gay men and lesbians and how lesbians often play a protective role? In terms of stress and anxiety, you had the added burden of your father dying when you were 7 and your mother marrying a man who verbally abusive to you, your mother and your sister.
