In a little over a month, North Point Community Church will be hosting the controversial Unconditional Conference, a family conference for parents who have LGBTQ children. Notably, nearly all the speakers are gay-affirming and pro-homosexuality, some radically so. This includes not only ONE homosexual man who is ‘married’ to his ‘husband’ but TWO.
The conference is being put on by Embracing the Journey, a radical gay-affirming ministry that partners with North Point to counsel parents of struggling LGBTQ+ children. We’ve cataloged some of North Point Community Church’s and Andy Stanley’s LGBTQ-affirming stances and activities below.
We’ve previously reported that one of the speakers at the conference is Brian Nietzel, an open and unapologetically affirming ‘Gay Christian.’ Brian ‘married’ his partner Dan last year and now lives unrepentantly in a grotesque parody of a one-flesh union.
Crucially, Nietzel also founded the Renovus Network, a pro-LGBTQ+ advocacy group whose mission is to “Connect LGBTQ+ individuals to reclaim and develop their relationship with Jesus” and envision “a world where no one has to choose between their faith and sexual orientation or gender identity.”
Along with Nietzel, Renovus was co-founded by Gregory Cook, an openly gay man who serves on the board of Directors. Cook has been a leader with the North Point Community Church for the last 13 years. He’s joined on the board by gay-affirming North Point Pastrix Debbie Causey and gay-affirming ‘Embracing the Journey’ founders Greg and Lynn McDonald, also leaders at North Point.
But he’s not the one. Justin Lee, who ‘married’ his ‘fiance’ Michael Bower last year, will also be speaking.
For the last two decades, Lee has been an influential Christian voice for LGBTQ affirmation. He is the founder of the world’s largest LGBTQ Christian advocacy organization, (Gay Christian Network) the author of two books, and an internationally known speaker on faith, sexuality, and dialogue. Justin’s first book, Torn: Rescuing the Gospel from the Gays-vs.-Christians Debate, has been widely cited for its role in helping Christian parents understand and accept their LGBTQ kids.
It’s not surprising that North Point Church would have these two same-sex married men speak, it’s only surprising that there’s not more of them.

There's a contradiction in terms, there ...
This article is riddled with them.
Andy Stanley is a disgrace to his dear Father Charles.....
VERY contradiction!!!! Demonic truthfully
I don’t know of Charles Stanley but I’ll take your word for it.
North Point? Sounds like their compass is pointing straight down.
Charles Stanley was a true man of GOD.
His son Andy went far, far astray, whoring after the pagan culture.
And to the Christian faith.
This really is becoming the Church of GloboHomo.
Hopefully Andy will repent before it’s too late, but I doubt he will.
God’s watching these folks. The wages of sin is death. God is not mocked. God is gonna give them up and let them rattle on till their destruction. A lesson for non-homosexual sinners also. God judges fairly, with great mercy, but if one believes that they are sinless....look out.
Could be a double-entendre there. If so, they should remember, God is not mocked.
Well said.
Amen!
At least Franklin Graham is just as godly as his father Billy Graham was.
Stanley is a reprobate of the highest order. And his dad still affirmed him.
