“COLBY BLENDS SCHOLARSHIP, WISDOM, AND CURIOSITY WITH A POSTURE OF HUMILITY. THE UNCLOBBER WORKSHOP WAS TRANSFORMATIVE FOR OUR CHURCH.”

-Rev Jackie Putnam,
Fourth Presbyterian Church
Greenville, SC

Ready to dig into

the Clobber Passages?

I’m not sure what that face is about 😂
But I promise, we had a great time!

In these One Day intensives, we spend between 4-6 hours systematically showing that the Bible does not say what we’ve always been told it says about homosexuality.

Colby offers a theological intelligence combined with a pastor’s sensitivity.

-Brian McLaren,
Author & Activist

FAQ’s

  • One day workshops cost $2500 + travel and lodging.

  • This is entirely up to you! Some groups provide the workshop for their church/community free of charge, others have found success with asking for a registration fee to help cover the costs for food.

    I’m available to help you brainstorm/plan the best approach for your context.

  • Some of the most successful Workshops have been when multiple churches pool their resources and energies.

    Yes, some groups put on a Workshop for just their community, and that’s great, too!

    But to help reduce financial obligation, and to increase engagement, I suggest reaching out to like-minded communities.

    I have a template for emails that have been successful in rallying multiple churches to collaborate on this. Happy to share and help you have the most successful Workshop possible.

  • Once we book a date, you and I can work together to make any schedule you want for your context.
