Episode 1: From Hypocrisy to Halted Harmonies

This is the initial episode of a deep dive into the relationship between Midwest Methodist Churches and LGBTQ+ people. The most common stories surrounding the intersection of the two topics are focused on highlighting the hypocrisy and mistreatment of the church in a way that forces LGBTQ+ people to alienate themselves from Christianity as a whole. Instead, I want to focus on what happens when they stay involved in the Church. In this episode we will break down what historically the bible has said about homosexuality and sexuality in general, my own experiences growing up in a Midwestern Methodist Church, and how I learned to accept and grow past what my church taught me while still holding a membership.
