I believe that she forecloses what he sees through her own lens and, thereby forecloses on her stance, not his. We can not have an "agenda" for the client as she suggests he has. Having a week of 8 hour days with Dr. Yarhouse and reading all his assigned material, I do not understand him to have an "agenda" as she suggests. Meaningful, deeply Christian research analyzes the six homosexual 'clobber' verses and 50% of academic Christian research arrives at her conclusion and the other 50% arrives at the opposite conclusion making any foreclosure on the clients decision wrong as a psychotherapist! Yarhouse told of his experience and thoughts at Outreach last year: that often it takes from coming out if at 17 into their thirties. His purpose to having their Jesus identity supersede is NOT to label sin by these verses and then obey, but rather to provide the time and space though their identity in Jesus and their by allow time to see their identity of SSA , or Gay and a Jesus follower. rb, 5-20-14Renee P.
