#033 -- Keeping Covenants & Finding Connection: Thriving as a Gay Latter-day Saint


Listen Later

Skyler Sorenson joins us share his story as a covenant-keeping Latter-day Saint who experiences same-sex attraction, is temple married to his wife Amanda, and is a father. He discusses his book Exclude Not Thyself and why he uses the word “thriving” to challenge assumptions that faithful gay Latter-day Saints can’t find joy in the Church. The conversation covers navigating labels and assumptions from both active members and critics and how to avoid judging others while still making moral choices. Skyler explains why “maybe someday” language about doctrine can create religious paralysis, encourages keeping options open, and emphasizes staying connected to others to maintain access, love, and understanding.🌐 More episodes & links: https://linktr.ee/latterdaybridgebuil...📸 Follow us on Instagram:   / latterdaybridgebuilders   🎥 TikTok:   / latterdaybridgebuilders  ☕ Support the podcast: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/LDSBridg...
