Sojourns “preoccupation” is with Jesus and his life changing grace. Straight, Gay, Christian, Non-Christian, pierced, tattooed, fat, skinny, fowl mouth, college grad, alcoholic, pot head, white collar, blur collar, single, divorced, married, porn addicted, (and the list goes on)… These labels are not relevant. We are ALL jacked up and in need of life changing grace that is offered by Jesus Christ. Anyone who has spent any time at Sojourn… Listening to peoples stories know that we all come from different walks of life. We are not from the same “cookie cutter”. Many have been changed by Jesus and desperately want others to experience the same amazing life change.

Yes, Sojourn can and does offer GRACE and ACCEPTANCE and LOVE to anyone who walks in the doors of the brewery no matter the situation. I am a testament too that!!!

I believe it is our desire to begin conversations and build relationships with people in our community… People we are around everyday. I believe there are NO hidden agendas… NO strings attached… NO prejudice… The truth of the matter is I want all my friends to be Christians… To fall in love with Jesus Christ… To serve him every day of their life. I know some of them will not accept Jesus… But I still love them… I am still their friend… We still hang out and enjoy each other.. good food, good beer, good laugh. Do I back down from the gospel?… No. Do I accept their sin or life style?… No. I simply live a life of GRACE and TRUTH with them.

As Christ followers we know the power, beauty, and healing Jesus brings to a life that was jacked up by sin. So when we read a story about a “gay activist” following Jesus or a Metal guitarist quitting his band to serve Jesus or people being set free from strangle hold of sin we rejoice and want to encourage others in or out of the faith that there is hope.

So to me… the issue is not Gay or Straight… The issue is what do we do with our sin? What do we do with Jesus?
