For too long, six Bible verses, known as the “clobber passages," have been used to justify discrimination against LGBTQ+ people. But what if those verses have been misunderstood, mistranslated, and misused?
Join pastor and author Colby Martin for a one-day intensive workshop exploring what the Bible does and does not say about homosexuality. With open minds and softened hearts, we’ll dive deep into Scripture, challenge harmful beliefs, and discover a more compassionate, faithful way forward.
“The UnClobber Workshop was transformative for our church,” says Rev. Jackie Putnam of Fourth Presbyterian Church in Greenville, South Carolina. “Colby’s blend of scholarship, wisdom, curiosity, and humility was exactly what we needed.”
If you’re ready to leave behind bad theology and embrace love, understanding, and truth, this workshop is for you.
Colby Martin is the author of "UnClobber: Rethinking Our Misuse of the Bible on Homosexuality" and a leading voice in progressive Christianity. Learn more about his work at colbymartinonline.com.
