"Homecoming at Christmas is more than returning to a place—it's finding warmth in the hearts of loved ones, the joy of shared memories, and the peace of knowing you're right where you belong."

To "agree to disagree" is a phrase used when two or more individuals hold different opinions or viewpoints on a particular topic, and they decide to end the discussion or argument without trying to convince each other to change their stance. It acknowledges the existence of a fundamental disagreement while emphasizing mutual respect and the willingness to move past the disagreement without harboring ill feelings or prolonging an unproductive debate. My guest today is Brain Nietzel. Brian today shares about  one of today’s most divisive, hot-button topics—Christianity and the LGBTQ+ community—extreme voices seem to lead the conversation. Yet as you look to the quieter middle, where most of us live, you will find a more constructive and hopeful narrative playing out in the church. Since “coming out” 15 years ago as a gay man committed to his faith in Jesus, Brian has consulted with evangelical churches big and small to help advance the more productive conversation. He knows the tension of reconciling long-held beliefs with compassion for LGBTQ+ loved ones. From his vantage, many leaders are braving that journey, and rethinking their responsibility to LGBTQ+ individuals in and outside their congregation. Join me as I try on Brian's Italian shoes.
