Today we're discussing the controversy surrounding Pastor Alistair Begg and his recent statements on gay weddings. In a recent podcast, Pastor Begg responded to a question about attending a "transgender" person's wedding, saying that he does recommend going. Naturally, many were upset by this advice, but Pastor Begg doubled down in a sermon, comparing this situation to the story of the prodigal son. We explain why this parallel misses the mark and answer the questions: What is the actual Christian approach to the issue of gay weddings, and how should we respond to teachers who get it wrong?\n\nGo to alliemerch.com to get our new Valentine's Day merch!\n\n---\n\nTimecodes:\n\n(00:37) Valentine's merch\n(01:30) Alistair Begg controversy\n(09:20) American Family Radio cuts ties\n(13:25) Alistair Begg's response to controversy\n(33:18) Commentary on the controversy\n\n---\n\nToday's Sponsors:\n\nSeven Weeks Coffee \u2014 Seven Weeks is a pro-life coffee company with a simple mission:\xa0DONATE 10% of every sale to pregnancy care centers across America.
