About this listen
Is it OK for me to be both LGBTQ and Christian?
If I accept my LGBTQ identity, am I living in sin?
Is it possible to be LGBTQ and truly follow Jesus?
For many Christians, the answer to these questions has felt like a heartbreaking NO—leaving them feeling isolated, ashamed, and forced to choose between their faith and their identity. In this compassionate and empowering guide, Chase Faulkner and Steven Todd Bryant share their journeys and offer five transformative strategies that blend theology, psychology, and spirituality, helping you find peace with yourself and with Christ—without fear, shame, or compromise... just as God created you!
Remember: GOD'S LOVE IS LOVE. Love is the essence of God's nature. God's nature doesn't change based on whom you love.
What Readers Are Saying:
"A modern update to Christianity."
"Best book on the subject."
"'Jesus & the LGBTQ Christian' hit home for me. It's like the authors are speaking directly from my own experiences—dealing with the pain that comes from growing up in a non-affirming faith environment."
"Read 'Jesus & the LGBTQ Christian' if you're looking for healing, acceptance, and a faith that speaks to your authentic self."
What you will learn:
Find Healing and Wholeness: Discover transformative strategies to overcome religious trauma and embrace the fullness of your God-given identity, free from the constraints of celibacy, guilt, or shame.
Experience Unconditional Love: God's unwavering love is part of God's character and is not contingent upon your sexual orientation or gender identity.
Build Affirming Relationships: Surround yourself with people who celebrate your authentic identity, providing a nurturing environment where you can thrive and belong while distancing yourself from people who trigger guilt, shame, fear of rejection, and judgment.
Navigate Scripture with Confidence: Equip yourself with tools to interpret scripture in a way that affirms your LGBTQ identity, reflecting God's view of you as fearfully and wonderfully made, empowering you to reconcile your faith with the person God created you to be.
Embrace Your Authentic Identity: Embrace your unique identity and approach God's throne of grace with confidence, shedding the weight of church and family expectations and embracing the fullness of who you are in Christ.
The authors explore the often-debated Clobber Passages and address the wounds of religious trauma, such as anxiety, depression, discrimination, guilt, shame, internalized homophobia, and suicidal thoughts, dismantling harmful teachings like "Homosexuality is a Choice" and "The Only Option for LGBTQ Christians is Celibacy." If you or someone you know has experienced harm from religious teachings or struggles with accepting LGBTQ identity, this book can offer a lifeline.
The urgency of this message is critical: In the U.S. alone, over 1.8 million young people seriously contemplate suicide annually, with at least one attempting suicide every 45 seconds. "Jesus & the LGBTQ Christian" offers a beacon of hope, providing practical advice and comfort free from judgment or conditions.

Just What I Needed
As I listened to this book, I felt a sense of peace in knowing that it's ok to be bisexual. Listening to this book has given me the strength to be bi and Christian. Thank you Mr. Chase.

This was bad
This is the first book I have given a one star review.
To sum of this book, If you don’t like something the Bible says, just reread and reinterpret it til it says what you want it to. If you love being a victim of any action or even people’s lack of actions, this is the book for you. This is a great example of a man who wants to be coddled, wants everything with no consequences or judgment, and wants unconditional love and affirmation regardless of his life choices. As a gay man and ex-christian, this book bothered me on a deep level.
Put it the work of finding people who don’t just accept you unconditionally, but accept the things about you that cannot be changed(like your sexuality) but challenge you to question beliefs, unlearn religious ideology, and decide to listen to facts and reason, and not blindly living with the beliefs and fears that have been pasted down to you. Only you can decide what you believe and what you fear. And it’s your job to flush those out. It’s time to do the work.
