Nashville, Tn. – Belmont University, a private Christian college in Nashville, Tn., announced last week it had canceled an event hosted by Promise Keepers after the men’s ministry released a statement reaffirming its support for the Biblical, biological, sexual identity of male and female, man and woman, in the context of marriage. Belmont representatives cited a conflict in values.
Promise Keepers is hosting a series of events this year, titled “Daring Faith.” Events are scheduled for Houston, Memphis, and New York City, with additional stops in other cities across the country. Among these stops was Belmont University.
The events will discuss Biblical manhood and the difficulties of navigating the tension between our Christian identity and the often-antithetical identities of the culture in which we live.
As part of their mission, Promise Keepers offers guidance to men on how to respond to the current gender identity crisis in our society. The ministry released a statement for Pride Month that noted what it perceives to be the dangers of gender ideology and reaffirmed its long-held position that biblical marriage constitutes a union between one man and one woman.
“We affirm that marriage is designed by God to be for one man and one woman” and that “the path of following Jesus Christ is difficult and countercultural, but it is the path of LIFE,” notes PK CEO Ken Harrison. The statement also noted, “As fathers, husbands, grandfathers, and young men—we see the dangers of gender ideology and the harm it causes.”
Surprised by the decision, Promise Keepers Chairman of the Board and CEO, Ken Harrison reached out to Belmont leadership for a broader conversation about the influence of social norms and popular culture on the values of Christian Institutions. Promise Keepers is still waiting for a response...

You likely wont get a response because they know that they are wrong and can’t biblically defend their decision to compromise God’s word due to social peer pressure by immoral people who thumb their noses at the infallibility God’s word
The Camel is eating the tent-
Very well said. I liked this one too, from your article:
“Belmont representatives cited a conflict in values.”
But Jesus knows which ones belong to Him...
Thanks for your post =:^)
Well said Bob, God bless you!
What can you say? Do they have a lightning rod on top of their roof?
Oh goody another Trump hater
I expect the Holy Spirit is using this standoff in many ways for His good purposes.
Disgusting insults ……you should be ashamed
With views like this, I take issue with that statement.
It’s good to see the fence sitters (lukewarm) Christian entities being forced to choose light or darkness.
Ridiculous post.
Yep, we get sifted.
I am grateful to Promise Keepers for all they do and for their biblical stand.
Maybe Belmont will repent but if not they have been exposed.
If you all don’t think the wheat is getting sorted from the chaff, well, you’re wrong!
Belmont College isn't a Christian college.
It is a "Christian" college.
Xlnt summation. The u prob gets lots of fed money.
Wow, you’re really staking out a bold, nonconformist position.....
Nah, never mind. You’re just an idiot.

They need asbestos umbrellas. Because they are in fire and brimstone territory!
Take a close look at their chapel schedule. Everything but Scripture. Lent? Ash Wednesday? Healthy sex?
Belmont University is an apparent hater of the Bible, and of God.
