How should the Adventist Church provide pastoral care for LGBTQ individuals while staying faithful to biblical teachings? 

In this episode of ANN In-Depth, Sam Neves sits down with Dr. Willie Oliver, director of Family Ministries for the Seventh-day Adventist Church, to discuss the Church’s response to same-sex attraction, identity, and the power of grace. 

They explore the distinction between attraction and practice, the role of pastoral care, and how church members can show love without compromising biblical truth.

The Seventh-day Adventist Church has been an established denomination since 1863. It is a global Christian family with over 21 million members who hold the Bible as the ultimate authority. We are believers who promise to help people understand the Bible to find freedom, healing, and hope in Jesus.
