ALMOST ALL Speakers at Andy Stanley’s Upcoming ‘Christian’ Conference are LGBTQ+ Affirming!
Protestia ^ | 5 months ago | Protestia Staff

Next fall, North Point Community Church is hosting the Unconventional Conference, where Andy Stanley will be a keynote speaker. The conference is being put on by Embracing the Journey, a radical gay-affirming ministry that partners with North Point that offers counseling to parents of struggling LGBTQ+ children.

In recent weeks Protestia has uncovered that not only is Stanley gay-affirming, but rather several ministry heads are as well. We wrote how when parents come to them with concerns and counseling regarding their struggling LGBTQ+ children, North Point recommends an affirming ministry for the parents, and affirming, progressive, all-gay counselors for the children.

Because much of the leadership at North Point is Gay affirming, the speaker list refects this, with almost all of them being pro-homosexuality in one way or another.

Greg and Lynn Mcdonald are both affirming. Their organization recommends all pro-queer resources and endorses books about why the bible celebrates homosexuality, rather than condemns it.

Andy Stanley is affirming, according to testimony by three pastors, as well as the ministries he allows to flourish in his church.

Debbie Causey is an affirming, pro-gay pastrix at North Point who celebrates affirming ministries and is a board member of the pro-LGBTQ advocacy group Renovus.

Justin Lee is the founder of the world’s biggest pro-LGBTQ advocacy group, and regularly promotes homosexuality as an excellent and normative orientation.

Rev. Dr. David P. Gushee is a pro-LGBTQ affirming author who wrote a book about it Changing Our Mind: Definitive 3rd Edition of the Landmark Call for Inclusion of LGBTQ Christians with Response to Critics

Dr Michael Sytsma sits on the board of Directors of Pro-LGBTQ organization Embracing the Journey and has appeared with North Point staffer Ryan Gray on the church’s Care Network several times as a teacher.

Brian Nietzel is a gay man married to his ‘husband’ and is the founder of the pro-LBGTQ advocacy group Renovus, where several members of North Point Church sit on the board.

There are also some speakers who are very suspect, and most are likely affirming, but we were unable to verify completely.

David Quinones – a parent of a gay son and a frequent speaker at Embracing the Journey, he builds bridges that foster healing and reconciliation between the church, lgbtq+ individuals, and their families. He recently created a Family Care Group for family members of gay kids.

Al Causey is Debbie’s husband and the Adult Ministries & Ministry Services Director at Gwinnett Church, one of North Point’s satellite churches. We don’t have any record of him being personally affirming, but if not, he’s a wolf and a coward for allowing his wife to have this ministry and not openly rebuking her.

John Ortberg: endorsed the book ‘Embracing the Journey” and was recently let go from Menlo Church after it was revealed he knew his son was a pedophile, but still allowed him to volunteer with the children’s ministry.

Pastor Chris Clark is a leader of a pro-LGBTQ+ Embracing the Journey support group at Saddleback Church, and has a daughter who he refers to as his trans “son”

Said Jesus NEVER.

Last week our pastor said if the gender in your head doesn’t match the gender between your legs you are mentally ill.

Can’t we all just get along? The answer is no. Jesus says we will be persecuted when we stand up for Him.

Andy Stanley, Rick Warren, and others of their ilk are to the evangelical church of the 21st Century what Bromley Oxnam, Harry Emerson Fosdick, and their cohorts were to the mainline Protestant denominations of the 20th Century: anti-Biblical infiltrators with the goal of moving their churches to secular humanism with a Christian veneer. In the last century, liberal Protestants received financial and legal support from noteworthy leaders like John D. Rockefeller and John Foster Dulles. You must wonder if similar estate figures are supporting the modern heretics.

There have always been charlatans, such as the authors of the Gospels according to Andy, Rick and Joel. But I never expected the ranks of the gullible to be so high.

Some take pastors and churches like these as an example of the great falling away predicted in Scripture as a forerunner of the end times. Maybe. But remember that at the time the mainline Protestant denominations were overtaken by modernism and neo-orthodoxy (basically a milder form of modernism), they were a dominant institution in Amrrican society. No longer. In any large city, many people in the general public know who their Catholic bishop or archbishop is but far fewer know who is the Episcopal bishop. The mainline Episcopalian Church has sunk to under one million members. Ditto for the mainline Presbyterian, United Church of Christ, United Methodist denominations. Barring the Second Coming, the ministries of Rick Warren, Andy Stanley, et. al., will be gone upon their passing, and their churches but a memory.

This is the IGOs and NGOs, Federal and State government, corporations and estate figures all working together and orchestrating their atheistic neopagan fascism they’ve been shoring up for over seven decades. This truly is the great reset and just sad to see come to fruition.

Charles Stanley’s false doctrine has led his son to this logical conclusion. Charles Stanley’s extreme unconditional Eternal Security is exactly the opposite of what Jesus Christ and his Apostles preached. They warned us to continue “abiding in the vine”. Charles said nothing can ever cause you to “not abide”. Andy Stanley’s sodomite Christianity merely living his father’s doctrine

So Charles Stanley is Andy’s father? I’ve heard of him but don’t know much about the guy. Was he like a TV preacher like Jimmy Swaggart or something?

Yes. He was the driving force behind churches preaching the false doctrine of once saved always saved (OSAS).

It cannot be gay-affirming if the LuggButt community is endorsed. Aside the “just let me live my life gays”, the rest are groomers and pedos.
