Dr. Larry Dwayne Ponder

Dr. Larry Dwayne Ponder is a gay Christian author living in Houston, Texas.

Larry was born in Corpus Christi, Texas. Larry had many opportunities to live in many parts of the United States as well as Guam and Scotland. He moved back to Texas in 1979 and raised his children in the Houston area.

He is a retired educator and earned his Bachelor of Science from the University of Texas – Pan America (UTPA) and earned his Master of Education and Doctor of Education from Stephen F. Austin State University (SFASU).

Larry recognizes that LGBTQ youth are overrepresented among homeless youth and that rejection, often religious-based, is a serious issue. He also notes that as LGBTQ people age, they can find themselves isolated again.

Although he writes for a variety of purposes, many of his books are focused on Christian Living and shedding light upon inconsistencies.

Mission:

Helping LGBTQs hurt by flawed theology while advocating for real changes everywhere

Vision:

A world where any LGBTQ person who chooses Christianity can also choose a church community from any church and denomination and be authentically loved, welcomed, and included
