Living Out Podcast
Many Christians love their LGBT friends and want to engage well with issues of sexuality and identity, but aren’t sure how to do it. Join the Living Out team and guests as they tackle some of the most frequently asked questions and seek to navigate the choppy cultural waters with compassion and clarity. If you’re interested in a Christian perspective on sexuality, singleness, trans and identity and want to hear real stories from same-sex attracted Christians, this is the podcast for you. Hosted by Andrew Bunt, Ashleigh Hull, Andy Robinson, Ed Shaw and Anne Witton. Produced by Anne Witton and Dan Reid.
Living Out Podcast
Meet the Authors #22 - Ed Shaw
Today we're chatting to Ed Shaw about his experiences of coming to terms with his sexuality as a young Christian and how, as an adult, he became more open about his same-sex attraction. We also find out how Living Out was born.
In the second half we discuss why permanent, faithful, stable sexual same-sex relationships aren't God's best for us, but what we can learn about intimacy in friendship from the good in those relationships. Ed then shares about why he's found it helpful to read LGBT novels, poetry and non-fiction.
