In today’s episode, Janell, March co-host Lucrezia, and Brenna sit down to hear some of Brenna’s story involving same-sex attraction, mental health, and sexual abuse. Brenna shares about her faith journey and some of the questions that arose from being raised in a theologically conservative environment. Brenna also explains why she still holds to a traditional view of faith and a non-affirming view of homosexual relationships even though people often wonder why. They discuss whether morality has or hasn’t changed over the past 2,000 years.
This podcast discusses sensitive topics including suicide.
