Why Would an Evangelical Pastor Identify a Parishioner Attracted to the Same Sex a Gay Christian?

Regarding the question in the title of this podcast, I believe there are many reasons, which I discuss in this episode. At the top of the list is the lack of an in-depth understanding of sanctification in a born-again believer's life, and in the pastor's own life. The recent "fall" of a cadre of evangelical pastors proves that you can't pastor a church and disciple others beyond your own sanctification and continually moving forward in it. Sanctification is never static.  And neither is moving a church forward in spiritual maturity. My intent is not to condemn, but a call to unpack the core doctrines of the faith from the pulpit within the canon of Scripture - and not randomly. Because the core doctrines of the faith collectively are the rock on which we build our house, which will stand against the storms that rage against it. And I place the storm of the flesh's profane and sinful desires at the top of the list (Galatians 5:17). The house is our life in Christ. Email: [email protected]
