Ep 25 // Pastor Stan Mitchell: The LGBTQ Community and Evolving Faith


Listen Later

We dedicate today's episode to Milo Winslow, trans activist in NE. He spoke at his city council to support fairness ordinance protecting the LGBTQ+ community and others from discrimination. It passed unanimously, but thousands of people petitioned and now it's on the ballet for November, which will not pass. Milo will be fiercely missed within the community; however, countless members of the LGBTQ+ community's still need help.   Please consider donating to the GoFundMe, but as allies, we must do more. We must support with our action. Countless other members of the LGBTQ+ community are fighting for their rights, and we must join them, not just with our words, but our actions.  Rest in Peace, Milo Winslow. You burned brightly and beautifully. We will do our best to honor your legacy and love as fiercely as you did everyday in action.  https://www.gofundme.com/f/milo-winslow-memorial-donation-fund Tonight's guest is Stan Mitchell who founded GracePointe Church in 2003 with a group of individuals committed to realizing a unique Christian community in the greater-Nashville region. In its first decade of life, the community was a home for those going through faith transitions and those who didn’t feel comfortable in traditional church settings. In 2015, GracePointe underwent a highly publicized process wherein it stated, publicly and absolutely, that LGBTQ+ people were welcomed, celebrated, and included at all levels of GracePointe's community. National media picked up on this, and GracePointe experienced a seismic movement in its own community as it stepped away from a core belief of mainstream Evangelical Protestantism. In 2019 Stan stepped away from serving as head pastor of GracePointe to provide more direct pastoral care to the LGBTQ+ community.   For more information on Stan Mitchell: https://www.facebook.com/stan.mitchell.58For more information on GracePointe Church: https://www.gracepointe.net/about-us
