Episode Details

How should Christians who are attracted to the same sex describe themselves? In this episode, the team talk about the pros and cons of labelling ourselves as 'celibate gay Christians' or 'same-sex attracted Christians.'

We talk about the importance of clarity in communication, how what we say about ourselves plays into our identity and give some words of wisdom for young people coming to terms with their own same-sex attraction.
