This week we were joined by theologian and author Andrew Bunt as he talked to us as a church on the subject of identity. Andrew has a powerful testimony of finding his own identity in the midst of being same sex attracted and dealing with confusion around gender. Out of these life experiences comes a rich teaching of how we define who we are, and what happens when we allow others or ourselves to m...

He is obsessed with what people think of him, and as a result fai...
