We are a little late with this month's episode but it is finally here. This month, Paolo Errico is offering a liturgical treasure. Paolo is doing a lectio divina reading of the lyrics from the song Hosanna by Hillsong. 

We are now going to begin release episodes monthly. This month, Ryan Michael is offering a treasure for our hymnal. It is an original song that he wrote titled "For You" connected to a passage in Hosea. He shares with us what inspired him to write this song and what it has to say to Side B Christians and the whole Church.

Welcome to Milk and Honey, a ministry of Posture Shift. This is a podcast meant to showcase the truth, beauty, and goodness of the traditions and communities to which Side B folks belong, through the lens of Side B folks ourselves--that is, Christian sexual and gender minorities who submit to what is often called the “traditional sexual ethic”. It is a space in which we can experience treasures together--music, liturgy, reflections, meditations, teaching--from diverse Side B lives of faith and from the diverse faithful communities which strengthen and nourish us.
