God said, 'I have work for you to do in the church.' I need you to be inside the church to do the work. And I fought it. I did. I fought it. It was God's persistent and generous tug that led me back to where I belonged.
Tracy's journey of coming out as a gay Christian is both moving and thought-provoking. In this episode of 'Discovering Our Scars', she sits down with hosts Steph and Beth to discuss the challenges and triumphs of reconciling her faith with her sexuality. Raised in a church that taught her homosexuality was incompatible with Christianity, Tracy faced an internal battle that many can relate to.
But instead of turning away from her faith, she delved deeper into Bible study, discovering that honesty about her true self brought her closer to God. Tracy's testimony is a powerful reminder that acceptance and love can coexist within faith, even when the church says otherwise. This episode invites you to reflect on your own beliefs and interactions with the LGBTQ community, challenging societal norms and encouraging a deeper connection with your authentic self and spirituality.
