Sacred Tension

In this episode of Sacred Tension, my friend Danielle and I answer questions about coming out, why we stay in church, our favorite movies, the birth of Christ and, most of all, what to do when people we love disagree with us.

In this final installment of the Nashville Statement series, Matt and I deliriously wrap up our discussion. We go on some pretty serious tangents, including: why I hate the phrase "speaking the truth in love," the crazy things customers say to me at work, and how we've learned to live with doubt.

Matt Langston and I continue our reading of the Nashville Statement. In the process we discuss the harms perpetrated against gay people by the church, the disconnect Christians have with the LGBT community, and Matt shares his story of how he was kicked out of a Christian college for refusing to sign a document very similar to the Nashville Statement.
