In this episode, Brady teams up with Josh Klein from @FreethinkingMinistries to respond to a leaked LGBTQ+ youth leader training video from North Point Community Church — led by the influential Andy Stanley.
We break down the language, theology, and cultural shifts revealed in the training and offer a biblical response rooted in truth and love. This is a critical conversation for anyone involved in youth ministry, Christian parenting, or church leadership.
