What is it like being a gay Christian? | Melissa's Story Part 2

In part two of our conversation with Melissa Cran, we hear more of Melissa’s story and dig into questions like: 
Where do we see God in the stories of gay Christians? 
How do Side A and Side B Christians interact with each other? 
Do we really believe it’s ok to disagree on this topic? 
How can we hold space for those we disagree with? 
How do we create a church culture that is more inclusive of the LGBTQ+ community?
How can we change the definition of family within the church?
