In this episode, Jonathan Bell aka JBell joins Jessie to talk about his specific experience with being a follower of Jesus and being gay. JBell tells his story and some of the positive and negative responses to his sexuality. Jessie and JBell break down what it would look like for the Church to love and support the LGBTQ community, regardless of what their doctrine says. There is a way to bridge the gap when there are differing opinions and that is to greet every person with the same compassion and gentleness that Jesus did and still does.
