4.9 out of 5 stars from 160 ratings
  • Homophobia from the Pick Me Gays

    Just standard homophobia from a group of people who believe same sex relationships are sinful and disordered. They throw the majority of the LGBTQ under the bus while they clamor for acceptance from conservative Christians.

  • Thank You

    Thank you to every one of you who have shared your life and faith on this podcast. Set the negative and dismissive feedback aside. You are showing up for the church when you invite us to get to know queer believers in their own words. I have learned so much by listening. Keep bearing witness! I gave four stars for only one reason- the sound quality needs some love! I listen regardless, because I love hearing your stories. But I worry that some will move on because the sound quality can be really... more

  • One of my favorites!!!

    I am a straight CIS female follower of Jesus, which means that this podcast is not directed to me. Nevertheless, I am thrilled to be part of the audience—I have learned so much and feel better equipped to love my LGBTQ+ siblings. I have a better vocabulary, am aware of pitfalls to avoid, and see ways that we are not all that different.

    I highly recommend this to all.

  • Educational and Supportive

    I have been beyond blessed by this podcast as I have been working through my faith and sexual identity. The topics discussed and hearing from others with similar identities has made me feel not alone in this walk.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

[From The Vault] S3E11B | More on Sexual Abuse with Christian
Q: How did you or do you navigate the question of contacting the police? Did you alert the leader of the group you met him through?
Christian recommends seeking help once safe, explains the value of timely medical care and evidence collection, and describes why he chose not to pursue legal action. He later informed a group leader and says survivors should weigh their own circumstances when deciding how to proceed.
[From The Vault] S3E11B | More on Sexual Abuse with Christian
Q: Share your process post-trauma in how you stayed rooted in the Side B community. How was your view of community and faith different before versus after the assault, and who anchored you?
Christian says his faith deepened as he experienced God's support, while journaling, trusted colleagues, selected Side B friends, and a Dungeons & Dragons group helped him find community. He stresses that trauma healing is gradual and requires grace, safety, and support.
[From The Vault| S3E19B | More on No Longer Strangers with Greg Coles
Q: What are your thoughts on queer culture, and are there non-sinful sensibilities or dispositions that queer people share?
Coles says queer culture has shifting, linguistically shaped boundaries and, like every culture, contains both beauty and brokenness. He sees value in recognizing observable tendencies among queer people without turning them into fixed claims about what gay people are or were before the fall.
[From The Vault| S3E19B | More on No Longer Strangers with Greg Coles
Q: How do you deal with writing feeling like psychological warfare?
Coles says writing is often painful and that he uses a spiritual practice to focus on whether the work has a worthwhile purpose, rather than treating a bad writing day as a judgment on himself.
[From The Vault] S3E3B More on Washed and Waiting with Wes Hill
Q: What does discipling desire look like in practice within the Side B community?
They discuss reframing desire as something to be oriented toward God and neighbor, using practices like prayer when attracted to others and seeking to sanctify longings rather than acting on them exclusively for private gratification.
