On the morning of September 5, 2016, Josh and Alex were able to sit down for a phone conversation with Bishop Karen Oliveto of the Mountain Sky Regoin. Bishop Oliveto graciously shared her story of finding her calling, not in spite of who she is, but because of it. She also shares her vision and her hope for the United Methodist Church as we move forward. We were incredibly blessed to be able to chat with and to be able to share her story and insights with all of you, our listeners.

The purpose of 'We Are Compatible' is to explore the lives of LGBTQ+ individuals and families as well as their allies in order to show that, regardless of what the United Methodist Book of Discipline may say, they are, in fact, compatible. Please join hosts, Alex Shanks and Josh Culbertson, as they explore these stories of courageous authenticity.
