I Tried to Be Straight

As the mom to a gay young adult, and a Christ-following family; I’m so thankful to have found this podcast! We need more voices like yours!

Finding this podcasts was a blessing. The way that I was able to relate to Nate’s story and the way Susie has explained her journey has opened my eyes. I’m also gay and grew up in the church but my sexuality is something that definitely has been a challenge. I also prayed the gay away for many years and for many more I was left wondering why god did not do anything about it, left myself question if I was not being honest enough but as I grew up older I came to find out that maybe I was not “broken” after all. If you have a similar story this is your place to at least not feel alone and start a journey where you reconcile with god and the church being gay

This podcast has brought real stories and education around this topic of being gay and Christian. I have these conversations with Christians and family members and majority of them say “there isn’t a lot of resources around this topic of being gay and Christian”. This is another podcast I get to send to people. I’m so thankful you both got the courage to talk about your stories and invite people to share theirs. This helps, this heals, and it’s brought me to a place of confidence again. Thank you 🙏

Listening to this podcast is so encouraging!! I love God and have such a strong faith but have always wrestled with my attraction to the same sex. I recently came out to my southern Christian family and it’s been really difficult so listening to this has been very helpful for me.
