443. Love Like Jesus with Ben Schilaty

Jody Moore
About this episode

Whether you're an LGBTQ individual and want to hear from other church members about their experiences, or you want to learn more so you can be a better ally, today's episode is for you.

 

I'm joined by therapist, author, and podcaster, Ben Schilaty to explore a new perspective on LGBTQ individuals and the doctrine of the LDS Church. We're discussing the struggles that church members experience when coming to terms with their sexuality, and we're looking at how we as a community can change our collective approach to supporting the LGBTQ members of the LDS Church.
