The Everybody Gospel

Why and How an Evangelical Church Journeyed from Judgment to the Inclusion of LGBTQ People

De: Francis Leeman

Narrado por: Michael J. Downey

Few issues are as controversial in the church today as the questions and debate surrounding the LGBTQ community. Pastor Fran Leeman and his church avoided all the controversy for decades and then were suddenly thrust into it. Fran boldly chose to invite his leaders and congregation into an intentional process of learning and conversation with no idea where the journey would lead. This is the story of that journey, with its revelations, twists and turns, unexpected destination. Whether you are working through these questions for yourself or trying to lead a church through these stormy seas, the story of LifeSpring Church will give you a lot to think about and offer you hope that as Christians today we can learn to love in the very ways that Jesus did. From Fran's personal honesty to his exploration of the debated Bible passages, The Everybody Gospel is a must for anyone wrestling with these issues.

Compassion and Love

This book should be mandatory listening. I will never understand the conservative view toward LGBTQ citizens of the world . Certainly this segment of our population have loved ones in this community. Bravo for you and your church for showing inclusion. Bravo for Michael J Downey for giving an outstanding rendition of your story.

Questions answered and a good listen!

This book is very insightful. Being raised a fundamental Baptist and being told everything we do is a sin this book has answered the same questions I’ve had for years and not just be about the LGBTQ. Michael J Downey is an awesome narrator and did an awesome job as always!
