Attraction and Orientation: Defining Our Terms by Caitlin McCaffrey

Attraction and Orientation: Defining Our Terms by Caitlin McCaffrey

In the dialogue on gay desire in the broader church, two terms rise to the surface: attraction and orientation. Lack of definition has caused much confusion and debate among God’s people. The stakes are high, because gospel clarity is lost or found for sexual strugglers based on how we define these terms as pastors, counselors, and friends. This is a gospel discipleship issue for the church today; therefore, precision and compassion are paramount.

On today’s episode, Caitlin McCaffrey dives deep into the importance of language. If the words we use to discuss these issues are not rooted in God’s Word, then we are building on a faulty foundation that will inevitably fail. She carefully walks us through how to think about two common, yet deeply misunderstood words.
