Part 1 | Cultivating Community During The Holiday Season. Dr. Jonathan describes why the holidays were hard for him and the steps he takes to address the challenges of the holiday season.
When approaching the holidays, he explains, it’s important to remember that for many people they are not always pleasant. Marketeers position the holidays as times of fun, laughter, and joy surrounded by people you love. But Gay People very often spend the holidays merely surviving them. The painful memories of relationships lost can deter them from any meaningful celebration. The key to remember is the Gospel draws us into a community.
Book Tip Real Identity by Thaddeus Barnum. This devotion is a helpful tool for exploring identity issues by looking at the drama of Genesis. This book is not about sexual identity but human identity. So it is a work useful for anyone, whether gay or straight. You can find a link to the book through Christianbook.com.
