It’s unlikely that anyone who reads this will have the stature of Eugene Peterson. It’s unlikely that the whole evangelical world and the press will be interested in your response to a question about same sex marriage.

But, your children, friends and others will be listening and waiting for you to give a clear answer. Will you be ready…Dad, Husband, Leader, Owner?
