Amber Cantorna, author of “Unashamed: A Coming-Out Guide for LGBTQ Christians,” joins August to explore her journey coming out as gay to her conservative Christian family— including her father, a Focus on the Family executive. Amber also shares thoughts on when to come out as LGBTQIA+, ways to do so safely, addressing internalized homophobia, moving past shame, embracing your faith and your identity simultaneously and more. Dr. Megan Fleming weighs in for a listener who has a mighty crush on her therapist.
