A few weeks ago, Amy Grant, who came out in full support of homosexuality, hosted an Evangelical gathering for the National Association of Evangelicals. The event was held at Amy Grant’s venue where she transformed a barn into a music and event venue known as the Loft.

The conference featured many mainstream Evangelical speakers associated with groups like The Gospel Coalition and the Southern Baptist Convention. Some featured speakers included two of TGC’s top lesbian authors, Rachel Gilson and Rebecca McLaughlin, and other well-known names such as Ed Stetzer, Derwin Gray, and former Southern Convention SEND Network leader, Dhati Lewis. Popular contemporary Christian musician Michael W. Smith led worship.

Grant came out in 2021 in support of homosexuality. “Who loves us more than the one who made us?” Grant rhetorically asked Proud Radio host Hunter Kelly in a July 12 interview. “None of us are a surprise to God. Nothing about who we are or what we’ve done. That’s why, to me, it’s so important to set a welcome table. Because I was invited to a table where someone said ‘Don’t be afraid, you’re loved.’ …Gay. Straight. It does not matter.” 

“It doesn’t matter how we behave,” Grant continued. “It doesn’t matter how we’re wired. We’re all our best selves when we believe to our core, ‘I’m loved.’ And then our creativity flourishes. We’re like, ‘I’m gonna arrange flowers on your table and my table.’ When we’re loved, we’re brave enough to say yes to every good impulse that comes to us.”

This is who men like Stetzer and TGC contributor, Rebecca McLaughlin believe it’s appropriate to align the Evangelical movement with. In fact, Stetzer described it as “peak Evangelical.”

Well, as it comes as no surprise to people with a modicum of biblical discernment, we know that so-called “Christians” who begin to compromise on sexual immorality will eventually completely apostatize—and that’s what Amy Grant is now doing.

In a recent interview with the Washington Post, Grant described how she would be hosting a same-sex “wedding” for her niece.

The word “welcome” comes up frequently when talking to Grant. In recent years, she has voiced support for the LGBTQ community, where she has had a large fan base for decades. Now, she talks about her and Gill’s plans to host her niece’s wedding at their farm, which is her family’s “first bride and bride” nuptials. Grant recalls her reaction when she learned her niece had come out: What a gift to our whole family to just widen the experience of our whole family.

“Honestly, from a faith perspective, I do always say, ‘Jesus, you just narrowed it down to two things: love God and love each other,’ ” Grant said. “I mean, hey — that’s pretty simple.”

Despite this, Grant continues to be a vocal and influential voice within the moderate-left branch of Evangelicalism like The Gospel Coalition and the people named above. Yet, those are the people driving the Evangelical movement. These people are far more concerned with voices like us who continue to fight against and speak out against the continual influx of theological liberalism in the Church than they are about the liberalism itself. That demonstrates where the priorities of the Evangelical movement are.
