Love Beyond Monogamy


Listen Later

We got some big news here: Brian is writing a book! He shares his big and exciting news of signing a book deal to write about polyamory and spirituality. A topic we have been keen to talk about for years now, even if it got us some pretty good push-back! Brian discusses his journey to polyamory and the lack of resources from a Christian and queer male perspective. We explore the challenges and stigma of polyamory in Christian spaces and the anxiety surrounding sexuality. Brian explains the unique approach of his book, which goes beyond a how-to guide and delves into the connections between polyamory and spirituality. 

Takeaways

  • Brian has signed a book deal to write a book about polyamory and spirituality.

  • Polyamory is often stigmatized and misunderstood in Christian spaces.

  • There is a need for resources that explore the connections between polyamory and spirituality from a Christian and queer male perspective.

  • Integrating polyamory and spirituality involves understanding and aligning personal values with relationship structures.
