Creating Space for Costly Obedience: LGBTQ+ Identity and the Traditional Church - w/ Nate Collins


Listen Later

How can LGBTQ+ Christians faithfully navigate their identity while holding to a traditional Christian sexual ethic? Mike Erre sits down with Nate Collins, author of "All But Invisible" and founder of the Revoice Conference, for a raw, personal, and deeply theological conversation on gender, sexuality, and costly obedience. This is the first in an ongoing Revoice Series, spotlighting voices that are challenging the polarized narratives in the church by creating space for sexual and gender minorities within the framework of historic Christian faith.

Key Takeaways: •  Defining Revoice’s Mission – Supporting and empowering LGBTQ+/SSA (same-sex attracted) Christians committed to traditional views on marriage and sexuality. •  Rethinking Identity and Orientation – Exploring the concepts of secondary gender identity and how orientation can be more than just sexual attraction. •  Critiquing the Nashville Statement – Why denial of marginalized voices and language policing have left deep wounds in the LGBTQ+ Christian community. •  Life as a Gay Man in Conservative Evangelical Spaces – Nate shares his journey through seminary, marriage, and living openly while remaining committed to the traditional sexual ethic. •  Joy in Celibacy and Community – How the first Revoice Conference offered a glimpse of joyful resilience, belonging, and spiritual family.

Guest Highlights: Nate Collins – Founder of Revoice and author of "All But Invisible," Nate holds a PhD in New Testament from Southern Seminary and shares his story of being a non-straight Christian living in alignment with historic Christian teachings. His experience brings incredible depth, compassion, and clarity to one of the most pressing conversations in modern Christianity.
