The Naked Gospel
The Naked Gospel explores what it means for humans to be sexed image bearers who are made by a relational God.
To that end, we have candid and raw discussions about relationships, sexual ethics, theology, pornography, sex trafficking, singleness, marriage, and everything in between.

Same-Sex Attraction, Celibacy, and Intimacy: Art Pereira
Every person wants to be known by others, and everyone knowns what loneliness is like—regardless of sexual orientation or theological position. Art Pereira works for Revoice and is same-sex attracted. Art lives a life of celibacy, but he refuses to believe that a life of celibacy is the same thing as a life of loneliness. Art joins us to discuss relationships within God's family.
