October is LGBT History Month, and October 11th is National Coming Out Day. What better time than now to share some of our coming out stories?
Join Tom, Ryan, and Jacob for a discussion on their coming out journeys, including how we first came out to ourselves, to God, and ultimately to others. We also give some coming out advice to those who are selectively out or still in the closet altogether.
LINKS FROM THE SHOW- The Velvet Rage by Alan Downs
- The Return of the Prodigal Son by Henri Nouwen
- Jacob's intro blog: "Fully Known and Fully Loved"
- Tom's YouTube video: "Coming Out to Myself – 14 Years Later"
We just launched a monthly BOOK CLUB for our $15/mo Patreon supporters! We recently gathered to discuss The Velvet Rage for October, and we're reading Henri Nouwen's The Return of the Prodigal Son for November. If you’re already signed up for this tier, get to reading! And if you still wish to join the fun, there’s still plenty of time to become a patron today.
