RICHMOND, Va.--The book “Outlasting the Gay Revolution” by Dr. Michael Brown is creating quite a buzz in both the media and in conservative and church circles. Now, he will share more about his new work and his views on how Christians must not lose hope when faced with an ever-vocal homosexual activist community at the Safe Exit Summitnext month.
Brown, one of the most respected conservative voices in America, will serve as the keynote speaker for the third annual Safe Exit Summit, a two-day conference on Oct. 2-3 in Washington, D.C., co-hosted by Parents and Friends of Ex-Gays & Gays (PFOX, www.pfox.org), the nation’s leading advocacy organization that offers love and support to families and friends of individuals with unwanted same-sex attractions and gender confusion.
“We are thrilled and honored to welcome Dr. Michael Brown as the keynote speaker and know that he will challenge churches to become safe exits for those who are struggling,” said PFOX Executive Director Regina Griggs. “The third annual Safe Exit Summit is a wonderful opportunity for families and friends of homosexual and transgendered loved ones to come together for support, resources, education and awareness about the ex-gay community.”
Brown recently talked with World Magazine about why he decided to pen “Outlasting the Gay Revolution: Eight Principles for Long-term Cultural Change.”
“I felt that believers around the country needed a word of courage, needed a word of hope, needed a word of encouragement,” Brown told World Magazine. “We’re being told, ‘You lost the culture wars. You lost the battle about redefining marriage and homosexuality and transgender issues. You lost the battle. You’ve made a mistake even taking the stand, just like you made a mistake with slavery and segregation, the oppression of women. You’re misusing the Bible again. Throw in the towel, capitulate and just move on. Do the church work, but recognize you’ve lost the battle, especially the Supreme Court decision and all these other things.’ I [wanted] to write the book and encourage believers and say, ‘This is not the end of any battle.’”
The Safe Exit Summit will feature a legislator education day on Capitol Hill for those who are in support of ex-gays and individuals with unwanted same-sex attraction. Friday Oct. 2 will also feature a time of praise as well as a viewing of the video “Such Were Some of You,” produced by Safe Exit Summit speaker Dr. David Kyle Foster and followed by a Q&A with Foster and the Rev. Stephen Black. Then on Saturday, Oct. 3, numerous expert speakers will address several issues to encourage, educate and edify church leaders, family members and friends, as well as those struggling with sexual identity issues.
Those traveling to the Washington, D.C., area for the Safe Exit Summit will be connected with the host hotel upon registration. The hotel—close to the conference site—is offering attendees a discounted rate, a free breakfast and other amenities. Registration is still open, and co-hosting with PFOX is Voice of the Voiceless and Equality And Justice For All.
Brown is widely considered to be the world’s foremost Messianic Jewish apologist. Since coming to faith in 1971 as a 16-year-old, heroin-shooting Jewish rock drummer, he has devoted his life to fostering awakening in the Church, sparking moral and cultural revolution in society, raising up gospel laborers for the nations and reaching out to his own Jewish people.
He is the host of the nationally syndicated “Line of Fire” radio broadcast, the president of FIRE School of Ministry, and a professor of Bible and Hebrew Studies at several leading seminaries. Brown has preached in more than 25 nations and is the author of 25 books and numerous scholarly and popular articles. He has debated Jewish rabbis, agnostic professors and gay activists on radio, TV and college campuses. Read more at askdrbrown.org or view his columns for The Christian Post.
