Uh-Oh.  My son is Not Like the Other Boys
​by Hanne Larson

Sarah O’Brian Completing and Competing Podcast

My Story, His Glory: In this podcast, Sarah O'Brien shares her encouraging story growing up as a Catholic and a Young Life kid feeling loved by God until she came out as LGBTQ at 17 years old. How Sarah shares her story of redemption and how she reconciles the clobber verses is really well done. Parents will be encouraged to see the phases our kids go through as they realize they are LGBTQ and how that impacts their faith and that kids and families can recover from such wounding.

​For nearly a decade, Brett Trapp kept a secret journal of thoughts on being gay and Christian, knowing one day he'd shout the story he feared most.

​On a Wednesday morning in late 2016, he logged on to Facebook and began shouting...

​He started by publishing a Gossip Guide to his sexuality—a cheeky way to let friends know his secret. He then began sharing the vivid details of his story through a 44-episode memoir, published as one episode per day. He called the story Blue Babies Pink. 
Within days, Blue Babies Pink began to spread through social media. Thousands of readers tuned in, eagerly waiting for the daily installment to be released. Readers resonated deeply with Brett's struggle with faith, loneliness, shame, singleness, workaholism, and uncertainty. 
​
Called "the Netflix of blogs," more than 100,000 people have read Blue Babies Pink to date.

“Inclusion” by Art Lenon, Founding Teaching Pastor of The Rock Church in Sparks, Nevada

Be sure to check out this 44-minute well-articulated, transparent sermon on inclusion. It is very thought-provoking and will make all Christians take pause in a very positive way.

​FOR THE LOVE OF EXPLORING OUR FAITH: EPISODE 07

​ADVOCATING FOR HUMANITY: BLUE BABIES PINK'S BRETT TRAPP ON RECONCILING (AND HONORING) WHO HE IS

It’s the final episode in the “For the Love of Exploring Our Faith” series, and you guys begged to hear from this week’s guest. Not that we blame you—we love him, too! Brett Trapp is a marketing consultant and storyteller who lives in Atlanta’s Cabbagetown neighborhood. The son of a Southern Baptist preacher from small-town Alabama, for more than a decade Brett kept a journal on being Christian and being gay. One morning in 2016, Brett hopped on Facebook and began sharing the story he had been writing privately for so long. In his forty-four-part series, Blue Babies Pink, Brett recounts his journey of growing up, coming out, and reconciling his faith. It’s equal parts whimsical, harrowing, hilarious, and wise.
