Radio host Steve Findlay criticizes homosexuality, cites Disney report and scriptures on 'Eternal Matters' broadcast

Steve Findlay, host of the program Eternal Matters, used a nearly hour-long broadcast (date not specified) to denounce homosexuality, read multiple Bible passages, and cite an American Family Association article about Walt Disney Company wedding services.

Findlay said the Disney announcement that the company was updating its ceremony guidelines to include commitment ceremonies for same-sex couples was “a problem” and called homosexuality “a sin against God.” He read from and referenced a series of Bible passages, including Genesis 19:4–7, Jude 7, Leviticus 18:23, Leviticus 20:13, Deuteronomy 22:5, Romans 1:26–27, 1 Corinthians 6:9–10, 1 Timothy 1:10, Ephesians 5:31 and John 14:6, and repeatedly urged listeners to repent and “get right with God.”

Findlay referred to an American Family Association Journal article and quoted a Disney spokesman saying parks and resorts are “open to everyone” and that the company was “not in the business of making judgments about the lifestyles of our guests.” He contrasted that statement with his view that “God is in the business of making judgments about our lifestyles.”

He also linked what he described as a decline in public morality to school and cultural changes and cited the 2007 Virginia Tech shooting as an example, saying the shooter was raised “in a world without God” and arguing that removing God from schools and government contributes to violence. Those causal claims were presented as his opinion and attributed to him in the broadcast.

Findlay repeated results he attributed to polling and research (identified in the program as work compiled by the Barna Group) about younger generations’ attitudes toward cohabitation, sex outside marriage and same-sex activity, and used that material to argue for a return to what he described as biblical standards. He also advised Christian listeners to read Scripture daily, attend church and “lay down your pride.”

The program included direct invitations for listeners to contact Findlay via email and references to related resources he recommended, such as waythemaster.com and materials he said he could provide. The broadcast did not include any formal actions, votes or decisions by a public body.

Notable factual clarification: during the program Findlay stated that “homosexual marriage is legal in neither state” when referring to Walt Disney World in Florida and Disneyland in California; that statement is inaccurate in the contemporary U.S. legal context and does not align with the legal status of marriage for same-sex couples in those states. The article reports the host’s statements and the scriptures he cited without endorsing the views expressed.

No other speakers were identified in the transcript beyond Findlay; the program included multiple categorical statements and scriptural readings but no formal policy recommendations or government actions.

Ending: The broadcast closed with Findlay urging repentance, offering to provide written materials upon request and repeating contact information for Eternal Matters.
