CWT 007: Understanding The Same-Sex Marriage Debate: John Stonestreet

Visit summit.org to receive unflinching worldview analysis of current news and events. Look for the email signup on the sidebar to the right. John Stonestreet is the senior content advisor for Summit Ministries and host of The Point, a daily radio show heard around the world. In his recent book, coauthored with Sean McDowell, Same-Sex Marriage, John and Sean unpack how those who follow Christ can faithfully answer the standard talking points for same-sex marriage, what God meant marriage to be, and why it is so important to defend the definition of marriage as an institution between a man and woman. The key to approaching this subject is not a contentious attitude towards those who believe in same-sex marriage, but a winsome perspective that is faithful to Christ, committed to truth and shaped by a love for God and others. Christians need to know that because Christ has risen, there is no such thing as "all hope is lost." They are still called to engage culture even if they are viewed as wrong, illegal and intolerant. This talk is from Summit’s 12-day Student Conferences (www.summit.org/conferences/) where young adults learn to defend their faith and confidently engage others in truth to shape culture.
