(AgapePress) - - A radio show that deals with the homosexual agenda from a conservative Christian viewpoint is on the air.
Straight Talk Radio
is hosted by Stephen and Irene Bennett, founders of Stephen Bennett Ministries. For more than ten years, Stephen lived as a homosexual -- until he was delivered from that lifestyle when he accepted Christ as his Savior. Now Bennett's ministry helps those who want to leave the homosexual lifestyle. The new radio program featuring the Bennetts kicked off on October 31. According to Stephen, the show will tackle many issues. "We're going to have the most intriguing guests on there [and] very lively debates with many gay activists," he promises. "It's going to be something you're going to want to tune in [to] and listen."
Stephen is a full-time evangelist to the homosexual community. He explains that adding to the uniqueness of the radio program is its focus to get information into the hands of conservative Christians who are concerned about increasing public acceptance of homosexuality.
"People are not born homosexual," he states, adding -- based on personal experience -- that "through the power of Jesus Christ homosexual men and women can completely change." We'll be addressing many different topics on Straight Talk Radio from people coming out of the gay lifestyle, how families can minister to a family member, loved one, or friend."
Irene Bennett adds that families must be educated about the homosexual agenda. "If parents are educated, then they can protect their children from the things out there which they probably don't really have an idea of what's going on," she says.
The Bennetts have gained the experience needed to deliver such a message through their ministry in venues such as a homosexual festival in Provincetown, Massachusetts. Through "Project P-Town," the Bennetts and fellow Christians have delivered the gospel message to homosexuals and transgendered individuals. (See related story)
Stephen and Irene have been married for more than 12 years and have two children. They founded Stephen Bennett Ministries in 2000.
