How Parents of Gay Kids End Up In The Closet | GOF40

The closet is generally associated with LGBT+ persons who have yet to share their sexuality with family or friends. But there is another closet seldom talked about – the one parents retreat into after learning about their child’s identity. So in this episode, I discuss the parental closet and offer some guidance on how to move out.

This Episode’s Topic: Parents and the Closet

To better understand why this issue matters, I talk about some of the stories I’ve heard from parents of gay teens or adult children. I also challenge the church in addressing the parental side and give several points to think through when you find yourself trapped in the closet.

Concepts Discussed:

Bill Henson’s Latest resource, “Guiding Families of LGBT+ Loved Ones”

Theology On The Street – Gospel Center Life Part 3

I continue to press into the tension present in the Gospel-centered life by exploring Romans 8. We look at Romans 8:16-25 and note Paul’s observation about the relationship between suffering and glory.

Smitty’s Tip of the Week – Book Recommendation

David’s Murrow’s book, Why Men Hate Going To Church is quickly becoming a game-changer for me. He writes about the troubling trend of the gender gap present in most churches. He offers helpful, practical advice on what small churches can do to address this trend.
