Episode notes

The speaker reflects on past failures in making assumptions that led to alienating and hurting some church members due to their political and sexual orientations. Subsequently, the speaker underwent significant changes, particularly in addressing politics and sexuality. The speaker emphasized the importance of framing conversations on politics through the lens of Jesus, encouraging curiosity and humility in discussing different perspectives within the church community.

“I have sensed a need from God to be courageous in these moments and recognize that not everyone's going to be happy with what I'm saying.”

In this episode, Rich Villodas, Pastor of New Life Fellowship (a large, multi-racial church in Queens, NY), offers wisdom for discipling our diverse churches on tough topics like sexuality.
