Customer Reviews
Listen to this
I am blessed to have Chris Furr as my Pastor. As a as member of the LGBTQ+ community and as a woman, I am thankful to Chris, and the folks with whom he talks, for their ministries of inclusion to the LGBTQ+ community and to women. You will hear of churches and from church-people who show you that you can come to church, and participate in worship, and serve in worship, and serve in church leadership, and be your full authentic self ~ without fear.
I am not a straight, white male so I cannot speak to what you might find if you listen to these, but I encourage you to do so.
Finally, I encourage you to listen because: there is hope in these episodes; there is support in these episodes; there are tears in these episodes; but most importantly to me, God’s amazing gifts of love and grace are in these episodes. And for that, I am thankful evermore.
Wonderful
These conversations are so needed today. So grateful for this podcast
