Welcome
Living Out is committed to helping churches to support same-sex attracted Christians and to teach wisely and compassionately on sexuality. There are a number of things that we offer to churches:
- We have a 10-point audit that leadership teams can work through to assess how well they are doing at being biblically inclusive, as well as highlighting areas to work on.
- We run the Living Out Course with a mixture of personal stories, biblical teaching, practical application and Q&A.
- We have a range of stories, videos and animations that you can download and show in your own church contexts to teach and inspire.
- We have a podcast series designed specifically for church leaders.
- We provide resources giving clear teaching on biblical sexuality, rooted in the gospel and framed by God's good creation and ultimate redemption.
- We provide practical teaching on how to listen well and respond with pastoral sensitivity.
- We are constantly developing new resources for churches which will appear here.
The Living Out Church Audit
The Church Audit is a tool designed to enable you to assess how biblically inclusive your church is and to make sure it is a community in which same-sex attracted and single Christians can thrive.
Living Out Training
At our in-person training sessions, the Living Out team share our stories as same-sex attracted Christians who hold to traditional/historic biblical teaching on sexual ethics. We'll unpack the Bible's good news about sexuality, consider how we can engage well with our culture, and discuss how we can respond to all this as Church.
Our training offers a positive biblical vision and practical steps forward as we seek to model both grace and truth in our Christ-like love for all those who experience same-sex attraction.
