Audio: Gay North Point Church Leader Says Andy Stanley Affirmed Him in His Homosexuality

With the news that Andy Stanley’s North Point Community Church has become a cesspool filled with LGBTQ+ affirming pastors, leaders, ministries, guest speakers, and conferences, it’s unsurprising that as more stones are overturned, more deviant theology emerges.

Surprise Surprise, Another North Point Church Leader is Gay-Affirming and Wildly Liberal

We also learned that almost all the speakers at his upcoming conference are LGBTQ-affirming, including Brian Nietzel, who is married to a man and who co-founded Renovus alongside Gregory ‘Ory’ Cook.

Renovus Network is a pro-LGBTQ+ advocacy group whose mission is to “Connect LGBTQ+ individuals to reclaim and develop their relationship with Jesus” and envision “a world where no one has to choose between their faith and sexual orientation or gender identity.” They believe that homosexuality is not a sin and instead is something to be celebrated and integrated fully into the church. 

Other Renovus board members are gay-affirming North Point ‘pastor’ Debbie Causey, gay-affirming ‘Embracing the Journey’ founder Greg McDonald, who is a ministry partner of North Point Church, and Cortland Russell, an openly unrepentant gay man who North Point church baptized. Cortland says it was Gregory Cook who taught him to be a queer Christian, and it was the three leaders at North Point, Gregory Cook, Debbie Causey, and Sandi Harman-Waldrop, who encouraged him to be baptized.

So who is co-founder Gregory Cook?

Gregory Cook is an openly gay man who serves on the Board of Directors of Renovus. Cook has been a leader with the North Point Community Church for the last 13 years, where he’s been on the Buckhead Church production team, holding creative meetings, recruiting volunteers, and managing set builds. He has also done missions trip throuh North Point Ministries, visiting Kenya in 2017 to lay the groundwork for a future ministry.

Cook considers Andy Stanley to be a friend and “mentor.” Stanley has nearly 600k followers on Twitter but only follows 1430 people, one of which is Cook, who urged Stanley to check out his gay-affirming network.

On social media, Cook can be seen opining that he scared off one his dates, and expressing great joy that a TV show about a gay school boy falling in love with a classmate has been renewed for a second season.

During a recent podcast episode of Making Things Right, a pro-LGBTQ podcast led by Brian Nietzel, several gay-affirming North Point leaders were interviewed. In one segment, Gregory Cook explains that he started attending North Point Chiurch after shunning church for 20 years. He reveals it was the result of a chance meeting with Andy Stanley, who invited him to church and later affirmed his homosexuality, telling him he was ok ‘just the way he was’ which led to him becoming an extablished figure within the congregation.

This revelation tracks with another story we did, where ‘pastor’ Debbie Causey also claimed that years ago, Stanley said he didn’t know whether or not it was a sin to act on homosexual desires and attractions, said the Bible’s description of sodomites in Romans 1 doesn’t mesh with any gay people he knows, and advised her not to tell her son that his same-sex desires were unnatural, because they are natural for him.

Gregory Cook has an openly pro-LGBTQ ministry where several leaders at North Point Community Church sit on the board. This is ostensibly widely known within their circles, and no one at the church does anything about it.

The toleration is telling, to say the least.

  1. Once Stanley unhitches his ‘church’ from the New Testament, his work will be complete and he’ll have the social club he desires 😢
