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.

Fr. Shawn McCain Tieres follows up with Dr. Erik Eklund and Tashara Angelle on the course they taught about reading the bible. Have you ever read the Bible and thought, "I have no idea what this is talking about?" Well, you're not alone. The Scriptures are a beautiful, historic, living, and complex collection of ancient texts. As Christians we believe that the Bible is the authoritative witness to the Word of God, Jesus Christ, given for us to "hear them, read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest them" (as the famous prayer goes). How do we do those things? How do we discern what the Bible means and how it illuminates our lives? If you've missed a class or are looking for its resources, go check out our adult formation page.
