The Church Closet episodes:

May 04, 2022 Episode 16 - What do we do with cure stories?
Welcome back to the church closet. In this episode, Charlie and Spencer explore a really tricky topic: what do Christians do with stories of the miraculous disappearance of same-sex attraction? What about stories of miracles in general? Faith is difficult, especially when the Bible teaches us to ask great things from God - things that we can't fully explain. It's even harder when there are people out there promising a perfect 'cure' to those struggling with same-sex attraction.

February 23, 2022 Episode 12 - What do we believe?
Welcome back to the Church Closet! This week, Charlie and Spencer discuss the gospel. We talk about how conversations about sexuality fit into a larger picture of Christianity, and how that larger picture is really what's important. If ideas about attraction, or opposition to someone else's attraction, becomes the core of our faith, we're missing the point.
