Episode 5 | Gospel Betrayal

In this episode of You Still Belong, Dr. Nathan McWherter pulls back the curtain on the "Rotten State of the Church," specifically regarding the treatment of the LGBTQ+ community. This isn't just a discussion on theology; it’s a deep dive into the Biology of Disgust.Why does the church treat certain sins as "unnatural" while overlooking others? Why do we treat humans made in the Imago Dei (the Image of God) as "contaminants"?We explore the "Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse" in marriage and how that same contempt is divorcing the church from the very people Jesus would be eating dinner with. I am writing a book on how the church weaponized disgust and how we find our way back to Jesus.
