Third Annual WPN Conference

Gender and Sexuality


November 14, 2017


10:00am Navigating the LGBT Issue with Grace and Truth Based on his book, "Loving My (LGBT) Neighbor, Glenn shows how these do not make up a monolithic community but persons with different characteristics and needs. This informative and sensitive presentation breaks down the letters of the LGBT acronym helping us to love with grace and truth. PowerPoint slides.

1:30pm Marriage as Gospel from Genesis to Revelation Sometimes we become so wrapped up in the cultural jargon of our day that we can lose sight of the forest for the trees. Glenn takes us through the over-arching Biblical narrative beginning with the marriage of Adam and Eve and culminating with the marriage feast of the Lamb. PowerPoint Slides.

3:30pm Manhood as Social Construct In this provocatively titled presentation, Glenn explains how manhood is developed differently than womanhood. From this perspective, he explains the challenges we face today in passing along genuine masculinity to the next generation. PowerPoint slides.
