Preston Sprinkle Returns to Corban to Discuss Faith, Sexuality, and Gender

“Debates about sexuality and gender are not just about issues. They’re about people—beautiful people. These debates, they’re about my friends.”

This September, Dr. Preston Sprinkle will be joining the Corban community to discuss faith, sexuality, and gender. We’re excited to welcome Dr. Sprinkle once again as we enter one of the pressing conversations facing the church and LGBTQ people today: how does the Bible address faith, sexuality, and gender, and how can the church enter this conversation with compassion, truth, and love?

Dr. Preston Sprinkle is a professor, speaker, and New York Times bestselling author, as well as the founder of Center for Faith, Sexuality & Gender. He earned his Ph.D. in New Testament from Aberdeen University in Scotland (2007), and he’s been a professor of theology at Cedarville University (OH), Nottingham University (England), and Eternity Bible College (CA and ID). Dr. Sprinkle is currently a full-time author, speaker, and teacher.
