Ep 960 | Unraveling Cru’s Troubling LGBTQ Curriculum

Today, we cover recent updates to Cru’s questionable gender and sexuality curriculum, which was recently called out by Rosaria Butterfield. Cru's curriculum, called "Compassionate & Faithful," offers staff members guidance on concepts like "same-sex attraction" and pronoun hospitality. The problem is that this "guidance" seems to be quite ambiguous — if not entirely misguided. We also break down some confusing points, such as the belief that Christians who struggle with same-sex attraction can identify as "gay Christians" and that same-sex temptations are not inherently disordered. We also explain the trap of compassion many of these organizations have fallen into. But there is hope, and it comes in the truth of the Gospel — that all can repent and allow themselves to be saved by the grace of God. We also cover Cru's history of questionable CRT curricula and explain why it is essential for believers to raise a respectful ruckus to stand up for biblically accurate ways to view each other. --- Timecodes: (00:34) Intro (02:40) Background on Cru & Rosaria Butterfield's comments (07:33) WORLD article (14:37) What's in the curriculum?
