Such a good episode!! Thanks for sharing Brit, it was so encouraging to be reminded to stay confident in who we are and what we KNOW God has said and done in our lives. Thanks Nate and Susie for making this happen!

Ok…I watched the whole thing. It moved me. Your guest moved me. Thank you. As a previous evangelical pastor, then PhD professor, and now trans…while still considering myself a Christian, this was great. I’ve struggled to find any sort of welcoming faith community in SoCal (Orange County), and have felt alone. I now research on the LGBT community in an effort to help, but it’s so great to see people actively and publicly blending faith and the community. Keep it up! Lmk if I can ever help. God bless!

1 - you guys are anointed to do this podcast 2 - every guest that you guys had on has spoken directly to my life and the way I grew up in my Christian environment. 3 - i'm gonna sound crazy here but here goes. I had the same exact experience as Britt. last year, I decided to stop running from my same-sex attraction. i changed my dating profile to guys instead of girls. And I met someone. That person has rocked my world. No sex, no lust... Everything that I want in a person He is... Our contact has touch and go, but the voice of God remained consistent regarding this relationship. I received a litany of signs and synchronicities that it was clear that I was supposed to focus on this guy. Even when I tried to walk away a couple of times, signs bought me right back to waiting until this matter is decided. One of the most amazing signs was me asking God outright on a two-day fast, who this person is. Randomly while I was walking and praying, I look on the ground and I see "the one" 4- Britt said something about the one thing that she wished that people would do is trust themselves and WOW. that is exactly what this journey has been. Drowning out the decades of noise telling me that being gay is wrong I think the most scary and surreal thing is these "signs" are the same way that God spoke to me in the past regarding other major life changes that have rocked my world in a great way (my career, my moving to another state, my cutting off friends, going to school). But getting signs regarding a person that I have been historically taught was off-limits and a "sin" is WILD and almost too-good-to-be true! 5- The craziest part of this entire experience is that I have peace. The angst and turmoil I had by suffocating this part of me gone and the fact that God told me that I indeed found "the one"....

Homosexuality is a sin. These signs you think are from God aren't from him. Why would God clearly state something as a sin and than then turn around and say it's not? God doesn't change for men. Men change to get a closer relationship with God. You indicating that God is accepting of sin is you stating that God is someone who changes with the times. God was the same when he was with Moses and is the same even now. He doesn't take back his words because all he says is solid and true. The devil is the biggest manipulator and knows the Bible, hence why he's able to manipulate the words to decive others. Just like how he was able to decive Adam and Eve, he is doing the same in your life. The Christain life was never called or labeled to be easy. You have to deny your self everyday to follow the will of God. Denying yourself of all your sins and sinful ways. I'm praying for you. God bless.

@@kukinoris8941 Here's the problem pharisee, you don't know crap about what God is speaking to me because you are not God nor the Holy Spririt. You are a human that interprets the word just like the rest of us. Maybe God didn't say that homosexuality is a sin. Maybe that's YOUR interpretation. The Bible says for slaves to obey their masters. So was Harriet Tubman sinning when she tried to help free the slaves? The Bible says in six places for slaves to obey their masters. i should get all the black people that have been freed over the past hundreds of years and tell them they are not of God because the Bible says for slaves to obey their masters. Also there are 619 laws in the Bible Old and New Testament. Are YOu following all 619 of them. If you aren't then shut your judgmental behind up. When you become Jesus and you create the heavens and Earth then come and talk to me about what God has spoke to me.... What a tool...be blessed!!!

I'm 63 and good thing you didn't do what I did I gave up the love of my life after being together 12 years of homophobia to divisions in the family with so much but anyway I have a long long story I'm still listening but y'all are doing good and I'm very proud of y'all I'm the grandma that's gay and studies the Bible and all the other stuff that goes along with the Bible to understand it. This is a hard road but we've turned a corner in the last 20 years and let's head home now let's bring it home with truth. 🙏🏳️‍🌈😇😀

Christianity is too soft. You don’t see people of other faith deal with his BS.

@kukinoris8941 6 ай бұрын

Christianity isn't too soft, people have become too rebellious expecting God to change and tweak the Bible to serve their flesh. God allowed "free will" from the very beginning. What we do with that free will despite having clear cut instructions on how to live the way God commands us to live is our fault and not God's fault. WE brought this upon ourselves, God didn't create sin. He allowed our bad choices and decisions to take shape because WE brought it upon ourselves.

@thetruthsayer8347 Why would I include other religions when my faith lies in the one true God? You brought up the Chrustain faith. Other religions would be irrelevant when you only mentioned Christianity. I responded to your statement and answered accordingly. My job isn't to force you to change your mind. It's to simply respond with the assumption that you've been misinformed. After that, you make that choice to remain in ignorance or learn something new. It's your free will. Have a blessed day.

First off the Bible is extremely clear that women are not called to be pastors. I can create a whole thing on that topic alone. Secondly, the Bible is very clear on homosexuality being a sin. You can't expect God who is never changing to all of a sudden change parts of the Bible to satisfy your flesh. GOD IS LOVE. We change and we may evolve but the word of God is never changing. the God of Abraham, Moses, and the many figures we read about in the Bible is the same God of today. He tells us how to live and how to move in the right way while in this temporary home. So I say this truthfully, you were never a pastor because God doesn't authorize women to hold or take up that role. Praying for you all. Love the sinner NOT the sin.

@eisenhower163 quoting Jesus is me using blasphemy? Pick up a Bible and actually read it for yourself and not based on what others are telling you what it says. I don't make up things. The Bible is very clear on punishing those who add or remove from the Bible. You are adding and removing by denying that homosexuality is not a sin. Have a blessed day.
