In America today homosexuality is widely condoned and accepted, even within some churches. However, many followers of Christ know this lifestyle leads to a dead-end and wish to live their lives in purity and holiness, yet feel conflicted and confounded by attractions toward their own gender. The shame and isolation around this issue can feel suffocating. We understand the difficulty and unique journey of a man or a woman dealing with same-sex attraction, while still remaining faithful to Jesus. However, this does not have to be such a lonely journey. For our brothers and sisters in Christ who may be struggling with this issue, we hope you find this website helpful.
 

And there are also many other resources available. Video resources, books, other specialized ministries and counselors, as well as you have the option to schedule a free, confidential consultation with Rev Garry Ingraham.

“Speaking of Homosexuality”  by Joe Dallas

Homosexuality and gay marriage stand among perhaps the greatest defining cultural battles of our age. There’s no escaping the inevitable conversations–so how does a Christian respond with love and biblical truth without adding fuel to the fire?

Drawing on nearly thirty years of counseling people struggling with homosexuality, former gay activist Joe Dallas takes readers through virtually every argument they are likely to hear in favor of normalizing homosexuality. He helps readers understand the views of LGBT people they may know and respond with clarity, confidence, and compassion. He shows the most effective ways to engage the subject on social media and in everyday encounters with guidelines for talking points, dialogue, approach, and tone, and even provides sample dialogue.

Anyone who has been searching for ways to have productive, loving conversations surrounding this critical topic will find this incredible resource a must-have.

“A Change of Affection”  by Becket Cook

The powerful, dramatic story of how a successful Hollywood set designer whose identity was deeply rooted in his homosexuality came to be suddenly and utterly transformed by the power of the gospel.

When Becket Cook moved from Dallas to Los Angeles after college, he discovered a socially progressive, liberal town that embraced not only his creative side but also his homosexuality. He devoted his time to growing his career as a successful set designer and to finding “the one” man who would fill his heart. His life centered around celebrity-filled Hollywood parties and he traveled to society hot-spots around the world–until a chance encounter with a pastor at an LA coffee shop one morning changed everything.        

In A Change of Affection, Becket Cook shares his testimony as someone who was transformed by the power of the gospel. His dramatic conversion to Christianity and subsequent seminary training inform his views on homosexuality–personally, biblically, theologically, and culturally–and his compelling book guides readers through this complex and controversial issue while revealing how to lovingly engage with those who disagree.

 Provocative, genuine, and deeply faithful, A Change of Affection is a timely and indispensable resource for anyone who desires to understand more fully one of the most common and difficult stumbling blocks to faithfully following Christ today.

“Love Into Light”  by Peter Hubbard

Homosexuality is one of the most controversial moral issues of our day. Headlines teem with stories of athletes “coming out”, politicians changing positions, and courts handing down same sex marriage rulings. Sadly, the church has often been afraid to talk about homosexuality. Many Christians feel confused and divided between the call to love and the call for truth. And many who struggle with unwanted same sex attraction feel alone and alienated by the church.

The time is ripe for God’s people to think and speak about same sex attraction in a way that is both biblical and beneficial. We must reject our fears and misunderstandings and see ourselves together, in need of the grace of Jesus. Love into Light is designed to move the church toward that end. Written from the heart of a pastor with a love for people and a sensitivity to our culture, Love into Light is your next step toward becoming more faithfully and helpfully engaged with people in your families, in your church, and in your neighborhood.
