Ep 943 | Alistair Begg Doubles Down on Gay Wedding Advice...

What this episode covers

Today we're discussing the controversy surrounding Pastor Alistair Begg and his recent statements on gay weddings. In a recent podcast, Pastor Begg responded to a question about attending a "transgender" person's wedding, saying that he does recommend going. Naturally, many were upset by this advice, but Pastor Begg doubled down in a sermon, comparing this situation to the story of the prodigal son. We explain why this parallel misses the mark and answer the questions: What is the actual Christian approach to the issue of gay weddings, and how should we respond to teachers who get it wrong?
