Customer Reviews
This is very inspiring!!!
I highly recommend you listen to this podcast.You will come away with a better understanding of what it's like to be gay and believe in jesus christ and you can,regardless of what you've been told in the past and they will show you why.It's serious while still keeping the humor,trends and topics of today.They have awesome guests,too.Keep it up Brian and Justin!!!!
Awesome
This is what I've been searching for all my life. Brian and Justin have helped me accept being gay and being christian and showed me that it IS possible I HIGHLY recommend this podcast!!!!!!!! P. S. On the 4/7 of 06 one, they play my response to a question of the week (I sound like a dork, lol)
No "Gay agenda"
I'm struggling with trying to figure out what or whom God is... That's enough for me to tackle! Throw in the constant message that gay men and lesbians "cannot possibly" be Christians and the message of defect smacks pretty hard for me as a lesbian. There seem to be all of these pre-conceived (mostly false) notions by heterosexual Christians whom I encounter that make me ask myself "Who ARE these judgmental people who expose opinions on what they have no experience with?" Since listening to GCN, I feel much better and a little more secure in my journey knowing I'm not alone and not judged. The podcast with Tony Campalo was excellent. Thanks to everyone who makes GCN possible!
