Published
Dr. David Bennett has a doctorate in theology and is a postdoctoral research fellow in Oxford University's Theology and Religion Faculty. He is an author and theologian covering various topics, including theology, desire, beauty, gender, theodicy, suffering, ethics, and sexuality.

In this episode, we explore David's transition from a Christian-hating gay activist to a Jesus-loving celibate Christian. I ask if celibacy should apply to all gay Christians and what LGBT inclusion in the church should look like.
