About ALL in

A podcast about Christians, the Church, the Bible, our Faith and what we need to do to affirm and include the LGTBQI community - especially those who are seeking Jesus and who want to be involved in the Church. We believe the Bible is God's word - through the ages and for today. We should study it, understand it and apply it to our lives. Hosted by Graeme Codrington, with a masters degree in theology, who was ordained in the Baptist Union of South Africa many years ago, yet changed his conservative view that the LGBTQI community are in deed sinners in need of salvation. After 15 years of studying the scriptures, investigating this topic, speaking with people and engaging with this community, we believe that God made some people gay and that we should accept and embrace the LGTBQI community as God's creations, loved by Him for who they are, not for who they are meant to be. In our podcast episodes - We'll take you through the evidence found in Scripture, and seen through church history and traditions. - We'll ask what this means for churches - what it looks like for churches to affirm the LGBTQI community, and what we should be saying and doing. Together with what this community should be hearing. - We'll be sharing some of the stories LGBTQI Christians who love Jesus, and who love the church - even though the church has, in the most part, been so hateful to them. These are people who are desperately seeking Jesus and we must hear their stories. - We'll also share some of the stories of people who love Jesus, but hate the church - so that we can hear what the church should be doing. And then, of course, there are those stories of people who used to love Jesus but who know hate Jesus and the Church, because of what the church has done. We need to hear those stories too.

   Ep 21: Four Stages of Faith

   As we inch towards Season 2 of AllIn Pod, here are some insights into the stages of faith development, moving from Simplicity to Complexity, then deconstructing to Perplexity and ultimately resolving to Harmony. Brian McLaren might have the best work on these four stages in his book, "Faith After Doubt". Listen to his discussion with Pete Enns and Jaryd Bayis on "The Bible for Normal People" here: https://thebiblefornormalpeople.com/episode-174-brian-mclaren-the-four-stages-of-faith/

   BONUS: We Are Church: Part 2b of the Bible and LGBTQI inclusion series: What the Bible says about marriage

   This is the second half of Part 2 of our series on LGBTQI inclusion. Please listen to the first half before this one - it gives important context about how I believe we should read and understand the Bible. It should be in your podcast feed just before this episode. This was recorded at the We Are Church gathering on 28 August 2022 in Waverley, Johannesburg, and focuses on what the Bible says about marriage. This second half looks at what Jesus and Paul (and the rest of the Bible) actually say about marriage. It's way less - and a little bit more - than you think. It's not as obvious as it is made out to be, and it definitely does not exclude same sex marriages.

   BONUS: We are Church: Part 2a of the Bible and LGBTQI inclusion series: How we should use the Bible

   This is the first half of Part 2 of our series on LGBTQI inclusion. Please listen the first part of this series before listening to this podcast episode - it should be the previous file in this podcast feed. That looks at the seven "anti gay" passages in the Bible, and shows clearly that we have misinterpreted them. This podcast is the audio feed of a video  that was recorded at the We Are Church gathering on 28 August 2022 in Waverley, Johannesburg, and focuses on what the Bible says about marriage. This first half looks at how we use - and misuse - the Bible, and the importance of looking at the character of God (as revealed in Jesus) for our theology. The second half of this message focuses on what the Bible says about marriage, and will come into your podcast feed next.
