Lead with Clarity and Confidence in Issues around Sexuality
Get the training you need to care for LGBT+ people and those who love them
Problem and Stakes
Positive & Negative
- I don’t know how to balance faithfully honoring God with radically loving LGBT+ people.
- Even if sometimes I can have a good conversation with an LGBT+ person, I don’t know how to lead my staff/board/congregation to do the same.
- I don’t know how to balance all the complexities involved in faithfully loving LGBT+ people.
- How can I show radical love AND be faithful to the Bible’s teaching on sexuality AND be sensitive to most LGBT+ peoples’ negative experiences of the church AND be sensitive to the psychological and traumatic experiences they’ve had internally and with their families?
- I don’t know how to faithfully engage in ministry and leadership without getting sucked into the polarizing culture wars that I know are not nuanced enough to faithfully display the presence of Jesus.
- I am losing LGBT+ people from my congregation because they don’t feel like they belong here.
- I am losing the parents of LGBT+ loved ones from my congregation because they feel like they have
- The parents of LGBT+ loved ones in my congregation who stay with our church have strained relationships and don’t know how to show support to their loved ones.
- My leadership team is as polarized as the culture on these issues. We can’t have a civil discussion of the Bible or of how to show compassion and care.
- We don’t know how to teach on sexuality without either being condemningly judgmental or unfaithfully enabling sin.
- We don’t know how to train our staff or small group leaders or our youth group on how to be faithful to Jesus and also radically love our LGBT+ adults and youth.
- I am and we are ignorant of the trauma that LGBT+ people have endured from their families and the church. We don’t know how to care for peoples’ psyche’s that have been burdened by not being able to talk about their experience with others who love them.
- I don’t know how to equip parents of LGBT+ loved ones to care well for their kids?
- I don’t know how to create a church/ministry culture that blesses our LGBT+ friends, family members, neighbors, and coworkers.
- I don’t know how to balance the grace of the gospel AND the Bible’s teaching on sexuality AND the reality that so many LGBT+ people have experienced horrible church hurt AND what therapy has taught us about wise development for LGBT+ people.
- I don’t know if it’s possible that the challenges of losing LGBT+ people and their families and their friends might be reversed, and our church/ministry could become a place where LGBT+ people would want to follow Jesus with us.
- You want to multiply this list out. One way to do that is to look over the testimonies you have collected over the years from churches and ministry leaders, parents, and LGBT+ people themselves. Describe the problems that they had that PostureShift has solved.

Guide—Empathy and Competency
PostureShift, and our Intensives are designed to solve each of these problems. We understand these problems and have been ministering to churches and ministries like yours for over 30 years. These issues are complex and confusing. It is often as difficult to get a leadership team unified as it is to actually minister to our LGBT+ loved ones and their parents.
Over these 30 years, Posture has integrated a deep understanding of the whole Bible’s teaching on sexuality with the best wisdom of psychology and therapy (submitting to the authority of Jesus) and informed by thousands of real life experiences of LGBT+ people and their families and churches.
Ex: Church leader that now has confidence over how to talk about and lead on this subject
Ex: Church leader who now has staff unity on this issue
Ex: Church leader who has seen LGBT+ people find Jesus and discipleship in their ministry
Ex: Church leader who has seen parents relationship with their LGBT+ loved ones restored

Paint the stakes
The cost of not getting trained is significant… The culture is polarizing worse and worse. Your church/ministry will drive people away. You will lose LGBT+ people, their families, and people who have friends who are LGBT+ and now they cannot invite them. This will reduce the evangelistic energy of your people and discourage them from thinking that they can speak up about their faith.
Your church will distance itself from the world that Jesus has asked us to reach.
But, if you book a PostureShift Intensive…
You will feel more confidence in leadership in this complicated set of issues.
Your staff and leadership board will be unified.
You will have a plan to care well for LGBT+, their parents, and their friends. You will have healthier, deeper conversations.
You will see greater missionary zeal and success within your people.
You, your leadership, and your congregation will know how to respond to polarizing issues about sexuality in their daily lives and relationships with neighbors, co-workers.
