Why do we choose a traditional, "Side B" sexual ethic as men who follow Jesus? Do we choose this life solely for our convictions or in spite of them? Do we live out a gay/SSA celibate life with joy or in angst and suffering?
Tom welcomes Ryan and Matt for a discussion on why we're Side B, as opposed to "Side A" (gay-affirming), and where these labels even come from. We include some formerly Side A perspectives within our community and dive into the challenges we face as gay/SSA men of faith. We also theorize on the percentage of Side B believers who suffer from internalized homophobia. #hottake
Additionally, we talk about our recent authors' retreat, our new bonus podcast, longboarding, the rains and hail of New Mexico, and of course some #YOBfashion with our resident style-master general, Matt.
You can listen below to our newest episode on WHY SIDE B. We hope you enjoy it! Don’t forget to comment with your Side B stories. We’d love to hear from you.
As always, we thank our YOBBERS — financial backers of Your Other Brothers who supply our show with phenomenal content. We couldn’t produce a podcast twice monthly without our faithful YOBBERS! Your support means so much.
We're now producing one public episode and one private episode per month, the latter available only on Patreon. Pledging even $1/month allows you access to our new bonus podcast, The YOBALOGUE, featuring listener feedback on this episode, bloopers, and other cut content from this episode including a brief discussion on Side B celibate partnerships.
You can check out our Patreon page for more information.
You can now call YOB! Call and leave us a message anytime at 706.389.8009. Ask us a question, comment on this WHY SIDE B episode, give us feedback, or tell us a story! We feature listener calls on The YOBALOGUE, and we look forward to continuing this episode's epilogue/dialogue with our listeners.

We just launched our brand new monthly bonus podcast on Patreon: The YOBALOGUE. It's sort of an "epilogue" to our regular show and a continuing dialogue with you, our faithful followers, featuring listener calls, comment feedback, cut content, and more.
We'll debut these episodes every month on Patreon just for supporters, but here's a 20-minute sample of our 40-minute premiere! In which Tom suffocates while recording in his studio wardrobe (slash hoping he falls into Narnia).
In this teaser, Tom reads some podcast comments that prompt a personal story about mud wrestling, meeting up with other SSA/gay-identifying people of faith, and a bit of bonus content featuring intro/outro outtakes from Tom's brother, Andy.
Consider supporting YOB on Patreon for as little as $1/month to catch all new YOBALOGUE episodes as they release, along with additional behind-the-scenes content: podcasts, videos, images, and more.
Comment on our podcast episode page or shoot Tom an email if you have any questions about Patreon: tom@yourotherbrothers.com

Change happens to all of us. Relational change. Spiritual change. Seasons of life that take us to the redemptive mountaintops and valleys of shadows.
Tom welcomes Ryan and Dean for our first episode back after a monthlong hiatus. It's an episode of literal change with new sounds, new segments, and new features as we dive into a discussion on the most pivotal changes in our lives.
We discuss our authors' retreat weekend, the inaugural Revoice conference, our first 1-star iTunes review, Tom's initial discovery of this Your Other Brothers community, Ryan's journey with body image, Dean's friendship with Tom's younger brother, and more.
You can now listen to our newest episode on CHANGE. We hope you enjoy it! Don't forget to comment with your change-stories. We'd love to hear from you.
As always, we thank our YOBBERS — financial backers of Your Other Brothers who supply our show with phenomenal content. We couldn't produce a podcast twice monthly without our faithful YOBBERS! Your support means so much.
