Jeff is literally me right now. Like I can relate so much with Jeff his feelings and all. I grew up non denominational full gospel- preacher grandkid - so much I could say but I hope to connect with Jeff and Jourdan and talk more - so much here but such an amazing feeling to hear all of this!!!

I appreciate their openness and vulnerability. However, I fundamentally disagree with Jourdan and Jeff about who Jesus is, and I think this podcast is damaging for gay Christians– who I believe should be openly affirmed within the church and should live as God created them to be.

But I hope they are as truly as happy as they make it seem, as someone happily married with children I have a hard time understanding how they can be truly happy and fulfilled when they are both pretending they don’t need/want a major part of a healthy, successful marriage. However they have a beautiful family and I t... more
