Loving LGBT People Well

Special Guest: Laurie Krieg (https://www.himhministries.com/)

There seems to be a great (and growing) divide between the LGBT community and orthodox Christianity. And while there may be real theological differences in worldviews, how are we to "love our neighbors" regardless of those differences? In this episode we invite back Laurie Krieg from Hole In My Heart Ministries to help us navigate how to love LGBT people well, and gain a new perspective on what true discipleship can look like. 

Laurie's LGBT Journey

Special Guest: Laurie Krieg (https://www.himhministries.com/)

Laurie grew up in the church. Laurie knew what God's Word said about sexuality. But Laurie struggled with sexual feelings that didn't line up neatly with what she saw in the Bible. This episode unpacks her story; it is messy, it is beautiful, it is redemptive, and it is ongoing. No matter where you are on your own journey of sexual questions and struggles, Laurie's story will encourage you to keep pressing into the grace and truth of Jesus.
