A Bridge Between the LGBTQ Community and the Evangelical Church

Full disclosure: I'm a straight, male Christian in America--and I started listening to this podcast because I thought I would need it more than anyone. Turns out I was right. I think this podcast is extremely important for anyone who claims to be a Christian in America--specially if you are a conservative Christian, and especially if you are a heterosexual.

Kevin brings in voices from the intersection of the LGBTQ and Christian communities--people of faith who are also people who don't conform to the sexual norms of the Evangelical world. If we really want to understand where these people are coming from, we have to listen--and this is the best place I've found to hear what they have to say.

The best part of this podcast is Kevin's gracious demeanor. Despite the personal challenges of spiritual shame and emotional abuse he's encountered from other Christians, he maintains his faith and is still willing to dialogue with those on the "other side" of the issue. I am continually amazed that the LGBTQ community hasn't given up on faith entirely after everything they've experienced. This podcast gives me hope that there can be reconciliation--if only evangelicals would take the time to listen...
