Today we're joined by author, pastor, and Bible professor Dr. Christopher Yuan to discuss his incredible testimony and new video curriculum "The Holy Sexuality Project." We start off with his story of transformation from an agnostic gay man to a redeemed Bible professor. Not only did God turn his unbelief into belief right from a prison, but God also freed him from the bondage of drugs and promiscuity. Can you be a Christian and practice homosexuality at the same time? We answer this question and dive into why the biblical model for marriage is so important. Then, Dr. Yuan breaks down "The Holy Sexuality Project" and why it’s so important to talk with our kids about biblical sexuality in appropriate ways.
