The gay dilemma and your church, reaching out to those who struggle
Whether it’s a friend, family member, neighbor, or coworker, chances are you know someone who’s gay. You want to respond well, but you’re not sure how. How do you help and encourage other Christians struggling with same-sex attraction? How do you interact with those who have embraced homosexuality as a lifestyle, both in and out of the church? Through his years of ministry experience, John Freeman offers timely wisdom for engaging with people who experience same-sex attraction, whether in your church or in your community. Using biblically grounded principles, he guides you in having meaningful, productive conversations with people you meet who are struggling in this area.

“Our church has been using the minibooks by New Growth Press for many years, and we have almost every title produced. In our church’s counseling ministry, the clear, concise, and gospel-centered message of these minibooks has proven to be a useful tool for our counselors to help to bring about true heart change with their counselees. We also have them prominently displayed in our lobby for our church family to pick up and take with them at any time. One of the most attractive aspects of these minibooks is that they are ideal for people who don’t want to take the time to read an entire book but still want to get practical and sound biblical guidance on a particular area of struggle. We also find these resources particularly helpful for those who may be reluctant to ask for help on a topic that may be of a sensitive nature. We are grateful for these minibooks and how God is using them in the lives of so many in our church family.” Kris Hemphill, SoulCare Supervisor
