Episode notes
Biblical Definition Shapes Response
- Jackie and Preston agree marriage is a God-ordained union between one man and one woman rooted in Genesis and reflected in the New Testament.
- They argue this design gives marriage a theological weight that shapes whether Christians should visibly affirm other unions.
Pray And Seek Wise Counsel
- Pray and discern whether attending a same-sex wedding is the wisest way to show compassion rather than assuming it's always sinful.
- Treat attendance as a wisdom and conscience issue and seek counsel rather than issuing blanket rules.
Set Clear Pre-Attendance Boundaries
- If you consider attending, have a private conversation first to clarify you do not view the event as a wedding and won't publicly affirm it.
- Ask the couple to accept that boundary before you attend to avoid public confusion about your beliefs.
