At Rez, generosity is part of following Jesus. We never talk about it with pressure or guilt, but always with a peaceful invitation. Our community gives as an outworking of God forming a non-anxious, generous, and abundant heart within us. If you would like to give to support our work, click here: bit.ly/3jeStQs

Welcome to Resurrection’s Follow-Up podcast, where we follow up with things we’ve been exploring as a parish together. In this special episode, we bring you insights from a season of discerning stewardship at our church through a series of sermons on generosity, a prayer guide for generosity, and updates from the kid’s classroom.

We’ve designed a devotional guide that you can download to help you grow in generosity or listen to sermons below on why we give. Get the booklet and join us in giving at https://www.rezaustin.com/give

On this episode, I (Fr. Shawn) sat down with a good friend Zach Lambert, founding pastor at Restore Austin, to talk about sexuality and the church.

We talked about sexual minorities in the church are not an issue to be managed but beloved people, images bearers of God. We discussed how to live in disagreement, how to create space to let others work things out, and how to hold our views with humility, reverence, love, and respect for one another. Then we talked about it’s hard to even talk about sexuality in the church, and addressed other dynamics involved in this topic.

In the end, we landed on how this conversation doesn't have to be a source of anxiety or concern, but is actually a matter of good news for the church that should be an inclusive, loving, respectful, safe, and supportive place to encounter the love of God and learn to follow Jesus for everyone.
