It's 1000 days since the U.K government promised to ban conversion therapy but still hasn't. James and Dan reflect on their BBC Radio 1 documentary 'Tell It: From Gay to NonGay' and chat to the co-director of CURED, a BFI Flare Festival documentary about the activists who brought about a 1973 victory in the movement for LGBTQ equality: the American Psychiatric Association's decision to remove homosexuality from its manual of mental illnesses. Bennett Singer's movie perfectly explains that to 'cure' LGBQ+ people, we only need to be accepted.So why do Church and religion play a huge role in perpetuating stigma, discrimination and physical harm towards people because of their sexuality?We witnessed this trauma when we interviewed former Christian singer Vicky Beeching during our series about gay conversion therapy, 'Tell It: From Gay to NonGay?' and thanks to BBC Sounds, you can hear an incredibly moving preview from our series in today's episode.It's not an overly triggering episode, but we will issue a low-key trigger warning here just to be safe.Email us about 'conversion therapy' at any time, we're here to help - us@gaynongay.comLINKS:Listen to our BBC Sounds series.

Dan and James come face to face with someone in Northern Ireland who offers “talking therapy” – what many call “gay conversion therapy” – to people who don’t want to be gay. For James, who’s gay, it’s a difficult encounter. They also hear Vicky Beeching’s story. Vicky spent years trying to change her sexuality. Doing so, she says, made her seriously ill. Producer: From Gay to Non Gay Originally released in September 2019

Nature walks are therapeutic. Moose got the chills after a grasshopper visited us, and read Kat a Mary Oliver poem. Moose and Kat revisit the Nature Therapy walk with Moose’s therapist and experience Forest Bathing. What if our country’s leadership cared about its citizens like the Japanese government? Kat wants to give a compliment to her therapist using the H word. Michael Passons shares on Jonah and the Whale Podcast that his sexuality was the real reason for leaving the group, Avalon. What is your opinion of conversion therapy? Kat is frustrated by Chynna Phillips’ California Preachin’ recent episodes about how homosexuality is a sin. We wonder if Carnie Wilson is going to offer a response? Would you bake a cake for a gay weding? Does sexual abuse cause homosexuality. Moose advocates for RAINN and shares some statistics. Both Moose and Kat have opinions about Vicky Beeching’s book. Let’s not put God in a box.Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/katandmoose)

This weeks false teacher is Vicky Beeching. She was a fairly big name in the contemporary worship scene and becoming bigger until 2015, when she "came out" as a lesbian, and set her feet on the path of teaching a false doctrine that you can be actively living in a homosexual lifestyle and still be a Christian.

Dan and James come face to face with someone in Northern Ireland who offers “talking therapy” – what many call “gay conversion therapy” – to people who don’t want to be gay. For James, who’s gay, it’s a difficult encounter. They also hear Vicky Beeching’s story. Vicky spent years trying to change her sexuality. Doing so, she says, made her seriously ill. Producer: From Gay to Non Gay

This is an encore of Episode 51. Vicky Beeching is a writer, speaker and equality campaigner named by The Guardian as "arguably the most influential Christian of her generation." Previously, she worked as a songwriter and worship leader throughout her twenties and half of her thirties and her songs are some of the most-sung in churches around the globe. When she came out as gay, all of that changed. On today's episode, Vicky talks about coming out, living with chronic illness, and the importance of Pride. Vicky has degrees in theology from Oxford University and has recently returned to academia part-time, alongside her writing and speaking, to do a Ph.D. Her first book, Undivided, is out today with HarperCollins. Find out more about Vicky at vickybeeching.com. She's across social media @vickybeeching. Queerology is on Twitter and Instagram, @queerologypod.

Their gospel is one of slavery to ones sel-made identity (read idol), where yours is one of freedom in Christ. I originally wanted for the affirmation arguments to be true, but now I consider them utterly appalling. They effectively deny Christ's power to save us, and create a clean heart in us. A "clean heart" needing to be created after all requires the current heart to be filthy.   And no; I'm not some individual that has been brainwashed by "gay-cure" therapy, which is just the other side of the coin of the heresy that dominates LGBT identitarianism (Pelagianism). I also don't think my experience is universal, the struggle is life-long for most, nor do I think I'm somehow a special Christian, merely one who has been changed by the awesome power and love of God. The call from Christ is a love that preaches self-denial (Mark, Luke and Matthew all have Jesus telling people to "deny" themselves in order to "follow" Him Matthew 16:24, Luke 9:23, Mark 8:34) not of self acceptance as Beeching espouses. Jesus destroyed the false God in my heart and changed my nature. I'm not perfect by any means (there is still sin in my heart in thought, word and deed that pops up), but I know God can change anyone, for He did change and is changing me.'  

The Christian religion is divided on issues of sexuality; not least the degree of acceptance and inclusion offered to gay men and women of faith. Amid the fierce theological arguments are stories of individuals torn between their faith and sexual orientation. Stephen Sackur speaks to Vicky Beeching, a popular Christian singer-songwriter, turned public advocate for LGBT rights, whose remarkable story has seen her described as one of the most influential Christians of her generation. Has she found peace after years of turmoil? (Photo: Vicky Beeching in the Hardtalk studios)

EPISODE 45 // False teaching is a reality and more common than most imagine. How should it be dealt with? We take a look at David Robertson's exchange with Vicky Beeching and draw some conclusions. We continue with our study of John 4, 'God is Spirit,' what is the significance of this statement? Notes https://theweeflea.com/2018/06/25/undivided-an-open-letter-to-vicky-beeching/ https://theweeflea.com/2018/07/17/the-soft-and-hard-intimidation-of-the-church-a-revealing-24-hours/

On tonight's programme we look at the backlash coming from the Presbyterian Church in Ireland's decision to not allow those in same-sex relationships to be full members of the church. We also discuss Vicky Beeching, the upcoming Revoice Conference and the position large sections of the visible church are taking on LGBT issues.

Vicky Beeching, the former CCM artist who came out as gay in 2014, has just released a new book called 'Undivided: Coming Out, Becoming Whole, and Living Free from Shame'. On tonight's programmes we compare what she says in the book with the Scriptures.

In the world of Christian music, Vicky Beeching was one of its biggest stars, but she had a secret, something she’d hidden away for over 20 years: she was gay. In this inspiring interview, Vicky takes James O’Brien through her journey, discovering a talent for music at a young age, her struggles reconciling her feelings with her faith, and a life-threatening illness that changed everything.

For this week's podcast, Madeleine Davies spoke to Vicky Beeching, who was given an award last year by the Archbishop of Canterbury for her outstanding contribution to contemporary worship music. Her new memoir, Undivided, tells her story of coming out, becoming whole, and living free from shame. You can read the interview in this week's Church Times.

Vicky Beeching was the darling of the Christian worship scene. For a decade she wrote hit albums and toured American mega-churches, leading worship for thousands of people every week. Her songs become some of the most sung around the world. But from the age of 13 Vicky had kept a secret. She was gay.   When finally at the age of 35 she came out, the evangelical Church she loved turned on her. Boycotting her music, they ended her career over night. This was backed up with an unrelenting flood of online abuse. We chat with Vicky about the importance of wholeness, vulnerability, authenticity and the radical and inclusive love of Jesus.   Interview begins at 8m 2s If you want more from Nomad, check out our website, and follow us on Facebook and twitter.

Vicky Beeching is a writer, speaker, and LGBTQ equality campaigner based in London. After a career as a very well known Christian worship leader, her career in the evangelical church was stripped from her when she came out as a gay Christian three years ago. Since then, she's become an icon for queer Christians across the world, and just released her book, "Undivided: coming out, becoming whole, and living free from shame." In this interview, we cut up (per usual), and we also talk about the book, our journies, and also our hopes for the future. I know you're going to love this.

Today, author, broadcaster and LGBT equality campaigner Vicky Beeching is my guest. Today we talk about her new memoir, 'Undivided', and Vicky shares with us the experiences of growing up as an LGBT Christian, how keeping this a secret from even those closest to her had an impact on her emotional, physical and mental health, especially as she moved into public Christian ministry in her twenties.  Vicky bravely shares the story of how she came close to committing suicide and what ultimately stopped her from doing so, and we explore just how damaging conservative theology around homosexuality, and purity culture, can cause such damage to our physical, emotional and mental health. We also discuss how Vicky faced the challenged of a diagnosis with ME and fibromyalgia, which limited the time and energy she could give to her work and relationships, and how this impacted the writing of her memoir. Vicky and I also discuss the creative process of writing a memoir, and why it's so important to have a support network in place during that creative process, as well as the impact her own experiences had on her songwriting process during her career as a worship leader. This an interview about the challenges of being an LGBT Christian, the damage of purity culture, trying to find your true identity, living with mental illness & suicidal thoughts, living with chronic illness, and how to pour yourself into the creative process and tell your story. But ultimately, Vicky's is a story a challenge and an inpsiration to all of us trying to find the courage to be true to our own story and live as our authentic self. This is one of the most treasured, honest and moving interviews I've ever done, with someone who has become a beloved friend, about one of the best books I've ever read. Take a listen, and then go here and buy the book.
