Following up on last episode's talk about same-sex-marriage, John Stonestreet and Aaron Atwood dig deeper into the subject and look at how the same-sex marriage debate is undermining religious liberties. They discuss what the most appropriate response for the church is to this issue. John suggests that the church needs to address same-sex-marriage through: Standing strong on the definition of marriage as being between one man and one woman. Not letting marriage be redefined by divorce. That issue is one that also undermines the sanctity of marriage in a huge way. Being front and center with grace and hope for the LGBT community, recognizing that we are all sinners in need of grace and that we are no less in need of Christ's sacrifice than the gay community.

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.
