  • Lovely Podcast with thoughtful discussions

    I just wanted to offer a word of thank you for your ministry. It has inspired me so greatly. Hearing the word from someone else that is in the LGBTQIA+ community is so inspiring. So much so that it has encouraged me to answer a call that I have felt for a long time. But couldn’t answer because of my gender identity. But I see that this is just a self imposed box. Thank you for your podcast and look forward to the new episodes weekly!
