    136: Can We Have A Gracious Disagreement?

    Trigger Warning: If you are part of the LGBTQ+ community, this episode may be difficult as the guest was brought on specifically to share her story. Manda does not align with or endorse the beliefs of the guest, but feels it is important to navigate hard conversations with grace and curiosity. Part of building a LONGER table is having people sit around it who do not share the same perspective as you, which is why our team cautiously decided to proceed with this release.From a young age, Kyrie questioned her sexuality and came out as gay at 18. A few years later after becoming a Christian, she renounced her homosexual lifestyle, left the LGBTQ community, and started sharing about her life as an "Ex-Gay" on social media. We're thankful she joins Manda at the table today to provide some insight into a perspective we haven't had on the podcast yet. Tune in to hear about: - her sexual identity shift- the feedback she's received from the LGBTQ+ and Christian communities - her beliefs surrounding homosexuality and sin View Kyrie's Instagram here & her ministry here Resources Recommended by Manda: A Sacred Conversation on Sexuality  God and the Gay Christian UnClobber Changing Our Mind 1946 The Mistranslation that Shifted a Culture Resources Recommended by Kyrie: A Change of Affection, Beckett Cook Holy Sexuality and the Gospel, Christopher Yuhan The Secret Thoughts of an Unlikely Convert, Rosaria Butterfield Is God Anti-Gay?
