Sexuality Counseling in the 5 Streams: TMA Conference Workshop on the 5 Types of Counseling for SSA

Here's my presentation at the inaugural conference of the Transformation Ministries Alliance June 22-24, 2023. I review the 5 streams of views in the church regarding homosexuality and gender identity: Condemnation, Affirmation/Side A/Revel, Accommodation/Side B/Resist, Mortification/Side Y/Renounce, and Transformation/Side X/Rebuild. I describe the types of counseling unique to each stream, and I argue for why Transformation is the best, and how Reintegrative Therapy serves as a helpful tool in Transformation and how it can be applied to clients coming from any of the streams!
