J.D. Greear Addresses Listing Pronouns, Clarifies 2019 Comments on Sexual Sin

September 12, 2022 by Staff

In the latest episode of his “Ask Me Anything” podcast, former Southern Baptist Convention president J.D. Greear elaborates on the controversy of listing one’s pronouns. The pastor of The Summit Church in Durham, North Carolina, addressed the topic back in November 2019. But since then, he says, his thinking has “crystallized” and even “matured.”

Greear also apologizes for “any confusion” caused by his word choice about sexual sins during a January 2019 sermon.

J.D. Greear on Pronouns: ‘There Can Be No Ambiguity in Our Testimony’

While discussing pronouns in 2019, Greear used phrases such as “generosity of spirit” (citing Andrew Walker) and “pronoun hospitality” (citing Preston Sprinkle). Now he clarifies that Christians must “be honest about what the Bible says,” noting, “There can be no ambiguity in our testimony to the world.” Yet believers must balance our defense of truth with our call to “win people” to faith, he adds.
