In what sense is God’s sexual ethic not just true, but also beautiful and good for the world?
That’s the question Sam Allberry (author of Is God Anti-Gay? and a founding editor of Living Out, a ministry for those struggling with same-sex attraction), Rosaria Butterfield (author of The Secret Thoughts of an Unlikely Convert and Openness Unhindered [20 quotes]), and Jackie Hill Perry (spoken word poet and hip-hop artist) take on in this new seven-minute roundtable video.
Perry considers how pursuing holiness leads to human flourishing; Butterfield thinks about how bearing God’s image informs Scripture’s sexual morality; and Allberry reminds us what the Bible actually is—the story of a Creator more committed to our joy than we could ever imagine, not an arbitrary list of prohibitions.
Watch as they open up about their own struggles with sexuality and share how the Lord has used his Word to show them the goodness of his sexual ethic.

We need one another. Yet we don’t always know how to develop deep relationships to help us grow in the Christian life. Younger believers benefit from the guidance and wisdom of more mature saints as their faith deepens. But too often, potential mentors lack clarity and training on how to engage in discipling those they can influence.
Whether you’re longing to find a spiritual mentor or hoping to serve as a guide for someone else, we have a FREE resource to encourage and equip you. In Growing Together: Taking Mentoring Beyond Small Talk and Prayer Requests, Melissa Kruger, TGC’s vice president of discipleship programming, offers encouraging lessons to guide conversations that promote spiritual growth in both the mentee and mentor.
