  • A Wonderful and Rare Take on a Difficult Topic

    I am extremely impressed with the Living Out team. In a subject riddled with controversy, tension, and extremist thinking, Living Out is wonderfully balanced, thoughtful, and compassionate. They really are speaking the truth in love.

  • My Tribe

    I have been listening to this podcasts for several weeks now, and I think I have found my virtual tribe. Thank you for a distinctly biblical perspective on sexuality broadly, and for those who are same-sex attracted more specifically. As I listen to the stories and experiences of your hosts and guests, I am astonished as to how much of their stories resonate with my own journey. Thanks for being a light of hope for me and I am sure for so many others who sincerely desire to die to self and follo... more

  • A Huge Breath of Fresh Air

    Thank you for candidly speaking and sharing about wrestling with God over sexuality. Thank you for instructing us, the church. We need to listen to these voices. Listen, listen, listen. I am trying to understand my 14 year old daughter. She came out and was baptized all in the same month. Our UK brothers and sisters are leading the charge for us Americans. Too much American Christianity has been co-opted by politicians, put in polarizing camps, and put up walls so real discussion becomes margina... more

  • Very helpful

    I have found this podcast so helpful (and the associated website with its articles). God is really directing me at the moment to search deeper into the issue of being gay and a follower of Jesus and how this might look, and my role in being a loving member of the family of God. As a single person by choice, I also find the opinions about singleness very refreshing
