Perspectives: LGBTQ+ Theology

As we wrap up our Perspectives series, Matt Stout and Tracy Rose explore LGBTQ+ theology through conversation, Scripture, and lived experience, asking what it means to move beyond a culture of "respectability" and toward boundary-crossing love. Through the story of Ruth and Naomi, we consider how covenantal love, chosen family, and life on the margins can expand our understanding of holiness. Rather than seeking mere tolerance, this conversation invites the church to recognize how courage, honesty, and community can reveal something deeper about the heart of God.
