Is There Room For Same-Sex People In The Kingdom of God? W/ Side-B Oxford Scholar Dr. David Bennett

In this episode, I sit down with Oxford scholar Dr. David Bennett to explore one of the most sensitive and important conversations facing the Church today: sexuality, same-sex attraction, and what Scripture teaches. Drawing from both his academic work and his own personal story, Dr. Bennett discusses the biblical vision of sexuality, the experience of same-sex attraction, the LGBTQIA+ community, and the Christian calling to celibacy. He also reflects on why many Christians have lost credibility when speaking about sexual ethics—often overlooking compromise within heterosexual relationships while holding LGBTQIA+ individuals to a different standard. With both conviction and compassion, Dr. Bennett offers a thoughtful, nuanced, and deeply pastoral perspective on a topic that is often marked more by confusion than clarity. Whether you're wrestling with these questions personally, walking alongside someone who is, or simply seeking to understand the biblical and human dimensions of this conversation more faithfully, this episode is for you. Dr. David Bennett is an Oxford scholar, author, and former gay activist whose work has helped thousands navigate these questions with both theological depth and genuine grace.
