Gay Rights & God’s Grace (Part 2): Judgment, Grace, and the LGBTQ+ Journey

Rev. Corbiey Ouellette Season 1 Episode 3

In Part 2 of Gay Rights and God's Grace, Reverend Corbiey Ouellette continues the conversation many are afraid to have—and even more afraid to approach with compassion. With deep personal reflection, raw honesty, and biblical grounding, this episode explores the complexities of gender identity, sexual orientation, and how the Church can do better at reflecting Christ's love—without compromising truth.

Reverend Corbiey shares emotional stories of friendships, youth ministry, and life-saving moments that were later tested by questions of identity and transformation. He challenges listeners—both conservative and progressive—to consider the motivations behind identity, the weight of condemnation, and how Jesus might respond if dropped in the middle of a pride parade.

This is not a message of compromise—it’s a call to clarity, humility, and love in the face of one of the most polarizing issues of our time.

  • Exodus 2:1–12
  • 1 Samuel 16:7
  • Galatians 5:19–26

Closing Thought:
Jesus didn’t excuse sin—but He also didn’t weaponize it. He sat with sinners, loved them first, and called them forward in grace. It’s time we learned to do the same.Show Notes:
