AN UPCOMING FILM PROJECT BY AFA BOAST TGC’s KEVIN DE YOUNG AND A HOST OF MARK YARHOUSE FOLLOWERS TO PROMOTE “ANSWERS ON GENDER AND SEXUALITY ”
Rev Thomas Littleton 6/7/2020
The movement behind Revoice “LGBTQ Thriving in Historic Christian Tradition” ( aka conservative churches and denominations) is alive and well. One of the primary thought leaders is Mark Yarhouse. Yarhouse work is rapidly bringing the evangelical church into full synchronization with the American Psychological Association on the issues of LGBTQ or Sexual Orientation & Gender Identity (SOGI) . From his perch at Regent University and now at Wheaton College, Yarhouse promotion of the APA ideals of SOGI and religious counseling models to reconcile conflicted LGBTQ “oriented ” people of faith with their respective faith identities is the new gold standard for a growing herd of church and denominational leaders.
Casting aside the Biblical frameworks of repentance, salvation and transformation SOGI is now the new gospel of reconciliation (not TO God but to) how one feels about their orientation and desires and gender with their chosen ideals about God.The church is called to adapt, adopt and comply with the new constructs of LGBTQ sexual “orientation” ( fixed and unchanging) and gender identity ( fluidity). In short the voice of Revoice is the present and future apostasy of the church where ever it is embraced.
The American Family Association has long been a voice of opposition to the LGBTQ movement and its new found partner God’s Voice Conference and one of its leaders Stephen Black led the fight to expose Revoice and the Yarhouse errors. (NOTE Stephen is a personal friend of this writer and we teamed together on the first God’s Voice Conference in clear denunciation of the Revoice and Yarhouse influence in the church ). Stephen’s First Stone Ministries appeared to be committed to providing opposition voice to Revoice movement in 2018 as its organization oversaw the organization and funding of God’s Voice .
AFA AND GODS VOICE ALLIANCE AND NEW YARHOUSE and GOSPEL COALITION (TGC) PARTNERS.
The sudden alliance of AFA and God’s Voice Conference (GVC) appeared in March 2020 as GVC promoted AFA new Film “In His Image ” and AFA began promoting GVC.

(NOTE : This writers work exposed Revoice in 2018 by breaking the story in early May. I worked with many groups and media outlets in helping make this important issue THE front line story and concern for 18 months. It was the suggestion of this writer to put together a conference to address the issues related to Revoice for the church.I believed an effort was needed to offer the true transforming power of the Gospel of Jesus Christ to hurting people wanting out of LGBTQ and their families and to bolster the church ability to discern and debunk the false gospel of Revoice and Yarhouse. As a result of these efforts GVC was supported by this writer who helped in the leadership team, organize, support, fund and spoke at it’s early 2019 event.
Yarhouse / TGC / CTS / Tim Keller/Albert Mohler/ SBTS ties to Revoice were exposed at GVC. Some wonderful testimonies were shared like the mother daughter team of Francine and Laura Perry . YET meanwhile a key member of the GVC Team QUIT immediately after GVC 2019 while Revoice 2019 came more out of the Yarhouse closet with Yarhouse speaking and openly becoming a leader in the Revoice organization for a time. But by that time media coverage of Revoice was being impacted by forces within TGC and beyond. As interest in opposition to Yarhouse and Revoice and God’s Voice Conference efforts continued, this author remained in leadership on the GVC Team.I reached out to remaining leaders including Stephen Black to answer that interest with a 2020 conference possibly to be held in the South. The ongoing efforts to bring about a follow up GVC went without response for many weeks until they were finally met with the sudden and “irreversible removal ” of this author from the GVC leadership Team and the planning of the 2020 event was then going forward. Months later AFA began promoting GVC new event focused on “LGBTQ Tyrany”. Long story- perhaps for another time . Suffice to say some things and powers were moving in the background and something had CHANGED.- DRASTICALLY CHANGED at GVC, Now perhaps we can see some of what caused this change in the wedding of Yarhouse and Revoice ideology in the AFA/ GVC efforts.
The Perry’s are part of this AFA film project but this writer believes that their involvement and others, like himself does not reflect an endorsement of the TGC/ Yarhouse of Revoice message. They and some others likely would not knowingly endorse a partnership attempting to combine both the denunciation of Revoice and the wedding of GVC or AFA or any other such efforts with TGC/ Yarhouse, Revoice, Rethink or any such compromised ideologies being promoted to the church. The mingling and mixture is deadly and robs people and their families in LGBTQ related bondage of the true and infinite hope of the Gospel. Whatever motivations AFA and GVC leaders have -to combine these movements is not known. What is known is that these two opposite approaches to LGBTQ concerns in the church cannot find common ground as Revoice and Yarhouse ideology is antithetical to the Gospel. Pray for these organizations and for people like this author and others who are caught in the middle of whatever forces are moving this compromise.)
WHAT THIS NEW PARTNERSHIP NOW REVEALS
AFA WAS FIRST OBSERVED WORKING WITH TGC IN ANOTHER FILM PROJECT IN 2018
NOW THE SECOND AFA FILM PROJECT DETAILS EMERGE
Just recently the contributors to the AFA film project became available to the public. In addition to God’s Voice leader Stephen Black is the SHOCKING reality that the film contributors includes TGC and other spokespersons most closely associated with the promoting and mainstreaming of the Mark Yarhouse /Revoice ideology.
DOCUMENTATION OF THESE ISSUES WILL BE PROVIDED MORE IN FULL BELOW BUT HERE IS A SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE CONFLICTED PARTNERS AND THE PRO REVOICE /PRO YARHOUSE HISTORIES.
IMPORTANT TO NOTE ON TGC ENDORSEMENT OF REVOICE LEADERS AND IDEOLOGY:
TGC CO-FOUNDER D.A. CARSON IN 2018 PROMOTED THE BOOK "SINGLE GAY CHRISTIAN BY REVOICE "WORSHIP "LEADER AND SPEAKER GREGORY COLES.
THE BOOKS FORWARD IS BY REVOICE AND "SPIRITUAL FRIENDSHIP LEADER WESLEY HILL .
Single, Gay, Christian: A Personal Journey of Faith and Sexual Identity Paperback – August 22, 2017
by Gregory Coles (Author), Wesley Hill (Foreword)
"To say this book is important is a painful understatement. It is the candid, moving, intensely personal story of a gay young man who wants to live his life under the authority of King Jesus and who refuses to accept the comforting answers proffered by different parts of the culture. Superbly written, this book stands athwart the shibboleths of our day and reminds us what submission to King Jesus looks like, what it feels like. This book needs to be thoughtfully read by straight people and by gay people, by unbelievers and by Christians. It is not to be read with a condescending smirk, but with humility." (D. A. Carson, president, The Gospel Coalition, research professor of New Testament, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School)"
TGC HAS PUBLISHED AND CONTINUE TO PROMOTE REVOICE LEADERS ARTICLES AND TGC OTHER COFOUNDER TIM KELLER AND HIS WIFE ENDORSED THE RADICAL LIVING OUT LGBTQ CHURCH INCLUSION AUDIT AS LIVING OUT WAS ENDORSING REVOICE "FOR THEIR US AUDIENCE".
KEVIN DEYOUNG
Deyoung is a popular PCA and TGC leader. The PCA Covenant Theological Seminary in St Louis MO is where much of the Revoice movement was incubated. Deyoung is part of the PCA Committee Report which only last week gave cover to the entire movement which has already split the PCA .More reaction is to follow to this PCA apostasy on LGBTQ. Deyoung is a close disciple of TGC founder Tim Keller and TGC fully signed on to promote Yarhouse SOGI ideology in 2010.
(NOTE Yarhouse long history with TGC recounted by Yarhouse bio here. http://sexualidentityinstitute.org/sample-page/dr-mark-yarhouse/
“Dr. Yarhouse is the past recipient of the Gary R. Collins Award for Excellence in Christian Counseling (American Association of Christian Counselors) and the Chancellor’s Award for Excellence at Regent University. He was a past participant with the Ethics and Public Policy Center think tank in Washington, DC, and he was named Senior Fellow with the Council of Christian Colleges and Universities to conduct a study of students navigating sexual identity concerns at Christian colleges and universities. He has been a consultant to the National Institute of Corrections under the Department of Justice to address issues facing sexual minorities in corrections, and he was part of a consensus panel from the American Psychological Association on sexual orientation and gender identity change efforts that convened to provide input to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) in Washington, DC. Dr. Yarhouse is currently the Chair of the task force on LGBT issues for Division 36 (Psychology of Religion and Spirituality) of the American Psychological Association. He was recently invited to write the featured white paper on sexual identity for the Christ on Campus Initiative edited by Don A. Carson for The Gospel Coalition.”
STEPHEN BLACK
Black is or has been one of the key defenders of “ex gay” counseling and his ministry First Stone defends these ministries while he has condemned the Revoice movement strongly. Black and his ministry help organize Gods Voice Conference in opposition to Revoice but is now working with AFA and a team of Yarhouse, Revoice, TGC ideology promoters.
RYAN T.ANDERSON
Anderson is a Heritage Foundation leader but he worked DIRECTLY WITH Revoice leader Nate Collins in 2017 as Revoice was being planned and founded. Revoice founder Collins reviewed Ryan Anderson’s book for Christianity Today and other outlets in 2017. Anderson and Revoice leaders Nate Collins and Preston Sprinkle worked together in a panel in the “Q Ideas “forum led by Tim Keller disciple Gabe Lyons in 2017. Collins and Q Ideas history of this work with Ryan Anderson have been removed from Collins SBTS (TGCs Albert Mohler SBC seminary) academic resume’ where he studied and worked (for 14 1/2 years) teaching New Testament . Q Ideas no longer list the Anderson/ Collins/ Sprinkle panel event either.
SEAN MCDOWELL
McDowell is a leading Biola University Apologetics Department instructor. He works with Stand to Reason (STR) apologetics and several other organizations. Biola is FULLY SUBSCRIBED TO MARK YARHOUSE and McDowell promotes and interviews him. In 2016 Stand To Reason launched a version of Revoice CALLED Rethink in its LGBTQ conversations . On the topic of LGBTQ -“RETHINK APOLOGETICS is all based on Mark Yarhouse ideology.
JAMES WHITE
Apologist James White has recently become a big fan of Rosaria Butterfield who is one of the confusing speakers of the modern SSA/ Sexual Orientation / Gender Identity movement out of the TGC/ Yarhouse/ Revoice Stream. White’s daughter is the co-founder of the podcast “sheologians” which interviewed Nate Collins promoting Revoice in 2018. White is very close to the Masters Seminary / John MacArthur camp yet remains silent as an apologetic leader to the Master’s Seminary training of Revoice leader Preston Sprinkle.White is also involved in controversial Interfaith Dialogue with antisemitic, Holocaust denying, Hitler defending, Jew hating, Muslim leader Yasir Qadhi. Now White is working in the AFA project with Mark Yarhouse subscribers. Video Documentation Here

The AFA film project says it wants to address issues of Gender and Sexuality in the throws of the LGBTQ movement and it’s deepening inroads into the church.Yet it now shares the shocking DNA from the Revoice movement which is now splitting several denominations including the PCA. AFA and the God’s Voice Conference have come together with these key Revoice / Yarhouse idealist.
THE FILM IS “EQUIPPING THE CHURCH” WITH THE VERY SOURCE OF THE REVOICE MOVEMENT.

“An urgent message
In His Image·Thursday, May 28, 2020·
Every church in America is filled with hurting people asking these tough questions: Can you be gay and be a Christian? What if someone genuinely feels trapped in the wrong body? Did God make me this way? Is change even possible?
In His Image is a critical and urgent message designed to equip the church to answer culturally controversial questions about gender and sexuality. This feature-length documentary presents much-needed truth with compassion and clarity through the use of:”
- powerful personal testimonies
- careful Bible teaching
- scientific evidence
“Why: For years, we at American Family Association (AFA) have watched the momentum of LGBT affirming “churches” continue to grow with little or no pushback from Bible-believing pastors and churches. It is our deeply held conviction that, now more than ever, true followers of Christ must be ready to engage culture with truth and compassion by offering the gospel to those who are sexually broken.
Host: AFA is pleased to partner with Dr. Michael Brown, host of the daily, nationally syndicated talk radio show “The Line of Fire,” which also airs on the NRB TV Network. Dr. Brown is the perfect host for this topic. He’s the author of such books as Can You Be Gay and Christian?and Outlasting the Gay Revolution, and he holds a doctorate in Near Eastern languages.”
DOCUMENTING THE TIES AND THE PROBLEM WITH THE CONTRIBUTORS YARHOUSE TIES
YARHOUSE IDEOLOGY EXPLAINED
Yarhouse and his Center have moved from Regent to Wheaton
https://www.wheaton.edu/academics/faculty/mark-yarhouse/
Yarhouse consulting efforts are rooted in the secular and highly gay activist inhabited and Atheistic inspired APA. His work operates on the assertions of “SOGI”. His work with APA is interfaith ini it’s application. Among Christians Yarhouse works with Side A (Fully Affirming of LGBTQ Christian groups ) and Side B ( non affirming of LGBTQ Christian groups) as well as “everything in between ” according to Yarhouse own publications.His counseling goal is to help reconcile clients faith identity to their sexual and gender identity however that is needs to be navigated. For “side A Christians”this means the full acceptance of LGBTQ Christianity .For “side B Christians” this means Acceptance of LGBTQ Christianity with the caveat of “SSA but Celibate or “married in mixed orientation marriage gay and straight couples .Such “side B “believers are viewed as cross bearers own heros of the faith who deny their “unchanging sexual desires ” and remain celibate or marry with out sexual attraction to the opposite sex. Confusing yes but considered in the Yarhouse and Revoice TGC world to be a gospel success to be celebrated loudly

CAN THIS APA SECULAR /ATHEISTIC / ACTIVIST IDEOLOGY BE “CHRISTIANIZED” ?
TGC THINKS IT CAN AND NOW AFA AND GOD’S VOICE THINK THEY CAN COLLABORATE.
A DEEPER LOOK INTO THE AFA FILM CONTRIBUTORS

TGC reviewed Revoice founder Nate Collins book in December 2017 just before the public launch of Revoice.
In 2013 TGC had Nate Collins now founder of Revoice review Sam Allberry’s SSA but Celibate book for TGC. Allberry is another Yarhouse Disciple and founded “Living Out” with Ed Shaw and other TGC contributors who claim to be gay celibate Christians. At times the word games and flip flops deny this claim but in the end this is the category they inhabit at Living Out. TGCs Tim Keller spoke at the 2018 Living Out event in London as Allberry adn Living Out promoted Collins “Revoice for our US Audience”.

DEYOUNG’S PCA DENOMINATION AND REVOICE – THE SPLIT AND THE BAND-AID
THE PCA JUST RECEIVED THE WHITEWASH OF REVOICE FROM AN APPOINTED “COMMITTEE “INVESTIGATING THE ISSUES RELATED TO IT. DEYOUNG WAS A PART OF THE COMMITTEE WHICH UTILIZED THE RESOURCES, INCLUDING YARHOUSE WHICH IN FACT CREATED THE VERY CONCERNS WHICH BIRTHED THE PCA COMMITTEE IN THE FIRST PLACE.

Report of the Ad Interim Committee on Human Sexuality
Deyoung and TGC mentor Tim Keller were both part of the VERY compromised PCA Committee appointed in 2019 General Assembly to “Report” on the issues surrounding LGBTQ/ Orientation and Revoice. The Committee members all subscribe to Mark Yarhouse and have yet to denounce/ overtly condemn Revoice .

JAMES WHITE AND THE AFA FILM PROJECT
DISCERNMENT APOLOGIST FROM MACARTHUR FOLD IS IN AFA FILM WITH YARHOUSE PROMOTERS.
James White is a close associate of the Masters Seminary John MacAthur camp. Masters graduate and REVOICE LEADER Preston Sprinkle holds two degrees from MacArthur’s Seminary and and has YET to be called out by his mentors at Masters for his Revoice participation. Sprinkle speaks at Revoice and Yarhouse events and he and Yarhouse work in leadership with each others organizations. White has not spoken to the Sprinkle Revoice ties to date (as far as research can provide).
PRO MUSLIM INTERFAITH DIALOG MOVES IN UNISON WITH THE LGBTQ RIGHTS MOVEMENT IN THE CHURCH
White has his OWN ISSUES with involvement in Interfaith Dialog.
World View Weekend researcher Brannon Howse has exposed the radical connections and hateful rhetoric of an Interfaith Dialog leader INTERVIEWED by White and called for White to denounce it. This James White controversy continues to be a widespread issue and to date White has not altered his course.
Brannon Howse
“I am calling on James White to publicly denounce Muslim Brotherhood & Yasir Qadhi. Publicly apologize & repent for your interfaith dialogue with Yaser and for saying you sense a kindred spirit with him, giving a platform for his antichrist religion, and asking him to make a video from which Christians can learn about Islam. I am also calling on Phil Johnson of Grace to You to publicly repent and apologize for being all over social media for weeks & on a podcast defending James White’s interfaith dialogue with this reported Muslim Brotherhood aligned Jihadi preaching Imam.”
JAMES WHITE INTER FAITH CONTROVERSY IS WIDESPREAD CONCERN
WHITE DAUGHTER AND REVOICE
JAMES WHITE DAUGHTER INTERVIEWED REVOICE FOUNDER NATE COLLINS AND PROMOTED REVOICE ON HER “SHEOLOGIANS ” PODCAST IN 2018
“The upcoming Revoice conference has caused quite a stir in the conservative evangelical world. It includes speakers who call themselves gay, Catholics, “Spiritual Friendship” proponents, and language about “sexual minorities” that begs a lot of questions. So we decided to invite the founder of the conference, Nate Collins, a writer and former teacher at Southern Seminary, to come and answer some questions for us and talk about the conference. We might have more questions now than we did before, but we appreciate Nate taking the time to talk with us, and we hope this conversation encourages you to dive deeper in how we think and talk about this topic. It is not one that the church will be able to get on with without thinking more intensely about. Soli Deo Gloria!”

Robert Gagnon
ACCORDING TO THE AFA WEBSITE FOR THE “IN HIS IMAGE FILM” – MORE INFORMATION IS DUE OUT SOON.
About the Film:
“In His Image is a critical and urgent message designed to equip the church to answer culturally controversial questions about gender and sexuality from a biblical perspective. Every church in America is filled with hurting people asking these tough questions: Can you be gay and be a Christian? What if someone genuinely feels trapped in the wrong body? Did God make me this way? Is change even possible?”
“This feature-length documentary presents much-needed truth with compassion and clarity through powerful personal testimonies, careful Bible teaching, and scientific evidence.”
About the Makers:
“For years, we at American Family Association (AFA) have watched the momentum of LGBT affirming “churches” continue to grow with little or no pushback from Bible-believing pastors and churches. It is our deeply held conviction that, now more than ever, true followers of Christ must be ready to engage culture with truth and compassion by offering the gospel to those who are sexually broken. In 2018, American Family Studios, AFA’s film division, began production of a film to bring clarity to the topic. In His Image has been bathed in prayer from its conception and is AFA’s response to the confusion many are facing.”
AFA reveals t’s projects origins : ” In 2018, American Family Studios, AFA’s film division, began production of a film to bring clarity to the topic.”. Yet given the clear Revoice origins in the APA and Yarhouse messaging- how are the AFA or God’s Voice Conference leaders able to claim it is adding “clarity” by mingling it’s message with the TGC /PCA/ Yarhouse / Revoice origins rooted in the APA / SOGI / “LGBTQ Christinaity”and not in the Gospel?
CONCLUSION
The Gospel does not need Revoiced or Rethinking. Christians need not feel pressured to comply with the new cultural norms or conform to the ideologies of the gay activist who are in many of the leadership positions in organizations like the APA . We need not come into step with “Christian” psychologist like Mark Yarhouse or our own Seminary trained SOGI “LGBTQ ACTIVIST OR ADVOCATES ” like Nate Collins or Preston Sprinkle.
American Family Assocaition and God’s Voice Conference efforts to promote the co-mingling of opposition to LGBTQ to the Yarhouse /Revoice message is a deadly fools errand at best or just one more example of opposition going over to the LGBTQ DARK SIDE .
As for me and my House -We will stick with the Everlasting Gospel of Jesus – the Lamb of God. He ever lives to be our faithful High Priest. No other exploration is needed to find the answer .Look to the Rock from which you were hewn and the one who truly made you IN HIS IMAGE.
HEBREWS 7
22 By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament.
23 And they truly were many priests, because they were not suffered to continue by reason of death:
24 But this man, because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood.
25 Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.
26 For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;
27 Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people’s: for this he did once, when he offered up himself.
28 For the law maketh men high priests which have infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was since the law, maketh the Son, who is consecrated for evermore.
