Discussion Questions
7 questions1.Jackie speaks from experience about the ways the church has both helped and harmed people navigating same-sex attraction — sometimes through overt cruelty, sometimes through silence, sometimes through oversimplified solutions. Which failure do you think is most common in the communities you have been part of?
2.She distinguishes between welcoming someone into a community and truly knowing them — bearing their burdens as Galatians 6 commands. What would it cost a local church to move from the former to the latter? What would have to change?
3.Romans 15:7 commands us to "welcome one another as Christ has welcomed you." How did Christ welcome you — at what cost, and without what conditions? What would it look like to extend that same quality of welcome to someone whose sin or struggle is most different from your own?
