102: Christopher Yuan | Transformation & Holy Sexuality

Grace Enough Podcast

Christopher Yuan joins me to discuss his journey from being an agnostic gay man in prison to a follower of Jesus, who now teaches the Bible at Moody Bible Institute and travels around the world with his parents speaking on faith and sexuality Questions Christopher and I Discussed: (1:48) I have briefly introduced you, but will share with our listeners a little about the work you do on a day to day basis? (3:03) What was life like for you growing up? (4:41) In your early 20’s, you came out as a gay man to your parents, which you and your mother write about in your first book Out of A Far Country, tell us more about that experience. (14:51) It was through realizing she was a sinner that your mom was able to begin loving and accepting you, but you went the opposite direction. You were in dental school and began making some really destructive choices. Tell us what happened that led you to read the Bible and a little about your journey from prisoner to Bible professor?............................. Quotes to Remember: “We were in the office [Dean of the Dental School], all four of us and my mom told the dean, ‘It’s not important that Christopher becomes a dentist. What’s more important is that Christopher becomes a Christ follower.” “She realized that nothing is more important than our children following Jesus, even more important than education, even more important than career.” “Before my dad left, he wanted to give me his very first Bible and I threw it in the trash can. That’s how much I despised it.” SHOW NOTES cont.
