Another installment of our interview project: Homosexual Christian? A contradiction in terms to some. Compatable terms for others. See what a gay Christian has to say about it in her own words. In this episode, Kay talks about how her struggle coincided with her coming to Jesus, as well as things she tried to change about herself . She talks openly about her experience with "reparative therapy". We take some questions that listeners emailed us. Relokate would like to thank Kay Adkins for her generous participation in this project. We hope this will stimulate listening on both sides of the issue and more healthy dialouge like this one in the near future. May we all seek the truth and pray the Truth seeks us. Enjoy.

3 of 3 The Content of Prayer This is one of the biggest barriers that keeps people from devoting themselves to prayer: "what do i pray?", and in this class we tackle that barrier head on. In this class we look at three intercessory prayers of Paul to find out what our priorities should be when we are praying for others. One of the ways our prayers become more useful and fervent is to pray what is in line with the will of God. We discuss what the "will of God" is according to Scripture and how we can reorder the priorities of what we ask Him for in our prayer life. There is much to unpacked in these three short but powerfully instructive prayers of the Apostle Paul.

1 of 3 "Theology of Prayer" We sat a hot microphone down in the middle of the class and hit Record. Enjoy the laughs, side comments, and cell phone interruptions as you listen in to this class. this is the first day of our study on prayer. we cover the "theology of prayer" or why we pray. We discuss the nature/attributes of God and a good portion of the class is devoted to two fundamental truths of prayer that are assumed before we ever pray: 1. God is sovereign and is in control of all things 2. Humans are morally responsible creatures. resolving these two seemingly paradoxical truths is critical to praying properly and healthily.

2 of 3 "The Method of Prayer" in this class we discuss how we actually go about praying. We limit our study to one type of prayer: Intercessory Prayer. Through Scripture we find a much different model for praying than what is commonly taught/modeled in western society. Prayer is more communal than most of us realize. Prayer is verbal and not just a mental act/emotion. Prayer is to be done in love and as an act of love. Prayer is to be done with faith. We touch on the importance of maturing in our prayer life, praying in tounges, the primacy of the body over the individual in prayer, and the role of faith. there is periods of question and answer in this episode so there are "empty" places on the recording. feel free to skip forward. Feel free to use the questions asked here as conversation starters for your small group. Enjoy!

Why does God seem to hide his face from us? What do we do in these times? This sermon deals with this difficult issue that all Christians face head on.
