In Episode 005 of To Be Encouraged Bishop Julius C. Trimble and Rev. Dr. Brad Miller talk with Rev. Rob Fuquay from the St Luke’s UMC-Indianapolis about the resource that he wrote “Faithful and Inclusive-The Bible Sexuality and The United Methodist Church.”

The conversation is a deep dive into the issues surrounding human sexuality and in particular just what does the bible says about such matters.
