How can self-denial lead to flourishing?

Julie Rodgers speaks about homosexuality, the Christian faith, celibacy and community. Her Message is about intimacy and sharing each others burdens. I have many friends caught in the “in-between” of this discussion. Many friends in ministry who are scouring the word for answers on how to reconcile things that were so black and white in the church, but now seem to be gray. I love what Julie says here. This is a great speech.
