God's Reflection: To be Gay and Christian - a podcast by First Church Media

We're back with our second episode and our first guest, Jerry Noone! On this episode, Jerry and Taylor act as dual interviewees and Laurie Ann acts as the interviewer.  

Jerry and Taylor discuss their experiences of growing up gay and Christian, feeling rejection from the church, and eventually becoming leaders at First Church. Along the way, we discuss the complicated and ongoing struggles with acceptance and homosexuality in the United Methodist Church, and how First Church chose to take a stand for LGTBQ+ inclusiveness early on. It's a funny, moving, and insightful discussion.   

Note: this episode may not be suitable for young listeners.
