Voices of Hope: Scott & Becky, 2014

Scott and Becky Mackintosh have seven children. Their beliefs surrounding homosexuality were challenged when their middle son, Xian, told them he was gay. In turning to the Lord for guidance the Mackintoshes received an answer that was clear: “Love—love unconditionally.” Since they believe the family is central to God’s plan, the Mackintoshes embrace the gospel and their son—unconditionally. They have discovered that the best way to navigate life’s challenges is through pure Christlike love and trusting the Lord.
