In this episode, I sit down with Sky Sorensen to talk about faith, family, identity, and what it’s been like navigating life as a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints who experiences same-sex attraction.

Sky shares his personal story openly and thoughtfully, including the challenges, questions, and spiritual experiences that shaped his path.

We discuss:
Growing up without clear role models or guidance
What helped Sky stay grounded in faith
How parents can talk to their kids about LGBTQ topics with compassion and conviction
Media, identity, and the messages children absorb today
The complexity of labels and belonging within church culture
And how to better support individuals and families navigating these experiences

This is not a debate episode. It’s a sincere conversation about faith, identity, discipleship, and the importance of empathy and understanding.

Whether you’re a parent, Church member, or someone trying to better understand these experiences, I hope this discussion brings clarity and compassion.

By Small & Simple Screens helps Latter-day Saints see what movies, books, and media are actually teaching about God, family, and the world…

I analyze kids’ stories, symbolism, and storytelling patterns through a gospel lens—not to cancel culture or panic parents, but to help families raise discerning kids in a media-saturated world.
