Bridging the Gap: Conversations on Befriending Our Gay Neighbours is an interactive DVD resource put out by New Direction. Intended to be a catalyst for courageous conversations and fearless, love-based relational engagement with gay neighbours, BTG seeks to address prevalent questions, attitudes, and hang-ups that keep Christ followers from hanging out and being 'Jesus with skin on' for the gay people in their circle of influence. Visit the BTG blog. for more information and an ongoing conversation about the project.

Is it actually possible to live a gay lifestyle and follow Christ?
The question is not, “Can someone struggle with same-sex attraction and still follow Christ?” Rather, “Can someone full on embrace a gay/lesbian lifestyle and still consider themselves to be a fully devoted follower of Christ?” For some, it’s hard to understand how a God of love would condemn a same sex couple genuinely committed to each other in love. For others, they feel that the gay/lesbian individual who is pouring over Scripture and authentically trying to follow Christ, will eventually hit a wall of conviction and thereby forced to make a choice. Once and for all, let’s get all the cards out on the table. It seems like people are becoming more and more “understanding” when it comes to same sex attraction, but is there a hard line when it comes to Christians?
Talkback, etc.

This week on the Counsel Of Many: a lady wants to know if she's the only one out there who feels that her faith wouldn't survive if her daughter was abducted, sexually tortured and raped.
“My husband and I were talking about the recent news about the Tori Stafford case. Horrible, horrible story. Then as most parents, we began talking about what would happen if our 8 year old daughter was abducted, sexually tortured then murdered. My husband said that God would help us get through it and I said that if God allowed something like that to happen, then God and I would have a serious problem. As a matter of fact, I just couldn’t believe in a God that would allow such horrible things to happen to an innocent child. So, the bottom line is that as I’ve thought about it, I guess I’m saying that my faith wouldn’t survive this sort of horrific tragedy. Am I the only one? Does this make me a pathetic Christian?” -
Do you think it’s good to be a Christian in North America these days or not?
Apparently it was the Christians who helped Kris Allen beat Adam Lambert in American Idol this week. A recent Macleans article claims that 72% of Canadians say they have a “generally favourable opinion” of Christianity. At the other end of the spectrum, Islam scored the lowest favourability rating at just 28 per cent. Yet it appears that Miss California lost the Miss USA pageant when she said she wasn’t in favour of gay marriages because it wasn’t Biblical. (She is, however, in favour of increasing her cup size to enhance her topless photo shoots.) So, do you think Christians are getting a bad rap? Persecuted even? Also joining us is Andrew Grenville, Chief Research Strategist for Angus Reid Strategies. -
