Reposted from @affirmingyouthministries It’s okay to be a follower of God or a self identified Christian and to be and out and proud queer person loving whoever you want and living your life. It’s not only okay, but it’s good and beautiful and needed. Our ministry exists to spread this good news to queer youth❤️ . . . . . . #queer #queertheology #lgbtq+ #lgbtqia #transgender #transvisibility #transpride #transgender #queertheology #trans #queeryouth #gayteen #gaychristian #gayicon #queerchristian #gaypride #nonbinary #affirmingyouthministries #affirmingtheology #youthministry #affirmingyouthministries https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn-9CFxMjxh/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Justin Lee

Am I the only one who practically binge watches all of Justin Lee's YouTube videos? I mean, come on. He's awesome (if you ask me, at least.) First off, he discusses these subjects in such a way that literally ANYONE could understand them. Second, he's persuasive enough that I'm fairly certain he could turn my homophobic parents into allies. Finally, he's just freaking hilarious. Seriously, check him out:

40 day prayer for transchristians

"He himself gave me true understanding of things as they are: a knowledge of the structure of the world and the operation of the elements; the beginning and the end of epochs and their middle course; the alternating solstices and changing seasons; the cycles of the years and the constellations; the nature of living creatures and behavior of wild beasts; the violent force of winds and the thoughts of men; the varieties of plants and the virtues of roots. Wisdom of Solomon 7: 17-21So God created man in his own image; in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. Genesis !:27.Treat others as you would like them to treat you. Luke 6:31.Heavenly Father, God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, what are the roles of transgender and nonbinary people in the Christian liturgical year? We ask in Jesus' name, Amen!"0 day prayer

✝️❤️🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ We have been hosting online affirming youth groups for almost three years now and it never ceases to amaze us how resilient the young people that find us are. In the face of non-affirming Christianity they still want to believe and explore their faith. In order to find us they have to search the internet, fill out a form, and have the courage to show up by themselves to an online youth group where they don’t know anybody…just so they can worship in a safe affirming environment…ID: a tweet that says, “I am constantly amazed by queer Christian’s. To look in the face of a religion that has told us that we don’t belong so many times and to still say ‘God loves me as I am’ is a powerful thing.”. . . . . . #queer #queertheology #lgbtq+ #asexuality #lgbtqia #transgender #genderfluid #nonbinary #genderqueer #transgender #genderqueer #queertheology #trans #queeryouth #gayteen #gaychristian #queersupport #youthsupport #queerchristian #lgbtqhistory #nonbinary #affirmingyouthministries #nonaffirming #homophobic Reposted from @affirmingyouthministries https://www.instagram.com/p/CpMQbxoszwY/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

In light of the overturning of Roe Vs Wade I see that a lot of people are…

Angry at Christians…

Yeah…

So I’m going to give you some cool places to hang out with Christians who don’t think that being gay is a sin and that women are incubators!

There is also the r/gayChristian subreddit but that place is often raided by anti-lgbt+ Christians and Muslims so it isn’t really safe

20220521 Tentang Kesepian

Am I lonely?

Apakah aku benar kesepian?? Tadinya aku pikir tidak. Karena aku suka menyendiri. Aku suka baca buku. Aku suka menggunakan waktuku untuk menonton. Baca komik. Main Game. Baca Alkitab. Dengerin Kotbah. Terlalu banyak kegiatan yang aku suka saat bisa kulakukan sendiri. Kayaknya nggak deh Tuhan.

Tapii Tuhan ingatkan. hey.. kamu masih suka gak kalau kamu diperhatikan? Kamu masih suka ga kalau dikagumi orang? Kamu masih suka ga kalau kamu jadi pusat perhatian? Kalau kamu masih suka "cari panggung", untuk mempertontonkan kesepianmu, mempertontonkan kemandirianmu. Untuk mempertontonkan betapa kamu seorang yang hebat.

Kalau kamu masih suka dengan itu semua. Berarti kamu adalah orang yang kesepian.

Kamu baru bisa dikatakan sebagai orang yang tidak kesepian, saat kamu bisa mengangkat telepon dan menjawab kata2 dari orang yang kamu selalu ingin hindari. Saat kamu bisa memberkati orang2 melalui perkataanmu yang penuh kasih. Dan menyemangati mereka yang sedang putus asa. Menyemangati mereka yang sedih.

Saat kamu bisa memberikan waktumu untuk ada bagi mereka diluar sana yang sedang kesepian.

Maka saat itulah, kamu bisa berkata bahwa kamu tidak lagi kesepian.

Mungkin nanti ada saatnya dimana kamu bisa begitu kecapekan, mendengarkan semua orang-orang yang mendatangimu, karena kamu begitu penuh dengan kasih.

Saat itulah kamu boleh menyepi, mengisi kembali hatimu dengan Kasih Tuhan, mengisi baterai mu yang kosong.. agar kamu kembali penuh.

Dan bisa kembali mendengarkan jiwa-jiwa diluar sana yang kesepian.
