What is home? Do we feel at home with our families this holiday season, or do we feel anything alien? Do we dare spend our Thanksgivings and Christmases with friends and chosen family rather than biological family certain years? Or is it okay even to spend a holiday alone, if only to avoid the stress of the season?
Join Tom, Ryan, and Aaron for our final YOBcast of the year as we discuss where -- and with whom -- we spend the holidays. We hope yours are merry and bright!
COMMENT ON THIS EPISODE
➡️ Where, and with whom, are you spending this Christmas and New Year's? How do you feel about this particular holiday season compared to years past? Do you already practice "Friendsgiving" or "Friendsmas," or is this something you'd consider doing in the future?

Including one of Tom’s favorite books, A Million Miles in a Thousand Years by Donald Miller, which inspires you to live a life worth reading about. Tom and Kevin also talk about the magic of camp once again, early morning prayer gatherings at this year’s YOBBERS retreat, and a shared love for hoodies – sleeveless or otherwise.

As people of faith attracted to the same sex, we’ve learned to wait – and wait, and still wait. During this season of Advent, we connect our waiting for Christmas to our waiting for redemption, completeness, and peace. We share our histories with Advent, or lack thereof, both past and present, including our Christmas traditions. As we shift to our sexuality, we hold both our tension and our hope – our expectant waiting – with each hand.
COMMENT ON THIS EPISODE
➡️ How have you recognized Advent over the years? How are you recognizing Advent this year, and what parallels do you draw to your journey with faith and sexuality?

Bridget Eileen Rivera (from Twitter!) joins us, along with her cat. She’s the author of the new book, Heavy Burdens: Seven Ways LGBTQ Christians Experience Harm in the Church (and just the second woman ever to appear on our show!). We discuss the burdens sexual minorities face regarding matters of so-called “clarity” in Scripture, stereotypical versions of masculinity/femininity, assumed pedophilia when working with children, and forced celibacy. Finally, we ask Bridget if her own choice to pursue celibacy stems from burdensome duty or life-giving joy?

Tom welcomes back our resident Filipino Londoner, and the second Daniel in as many weeks! We catch up with Daniel on the other side of COVID as he now attends three small groups simultaneously. We mourn the loss of our international flavor at this year’s YOBBERS retreat, but we also discuss possibly holding Zoom calls more relative to European time zones? With increasing UK and European support, Tom wants to travel overseas soon to visit Daniel and all the other YOBBERS. But does even the sparrow find a spare room? Finally, the guys share how they hear from Holy Spirit. Can you believe?!

Tom welcomes his pastor to the show! Fred shares some tales from a recent road trip with his mom and unpacks his call to ministry, including how he never expected to be a lead pastor. He also describes his "coming in" story: his first interactions with gay people going all the way back to high school and college, and also his learning about "Side B" gay/SSA people in the church. What advice would Fred give to anyone listening who has never come out to a pastor before?
It's a special follow-up to Tom's appearance on the Fellowship Asheville ConvoCast last month as Fred now joins the only other ConvoCast on the Internet!

This summer Netflix released Pray Away, a documentary following the lives of former leaders of ex-gay ministries and survivors of conversion therapy. It's a heavy film, filled with heavy topics like abuse and self-harm. This may not be the podcast for you if it hits a bit close to home with your story. But if you watched the film and/or feel ready for our conversation on it, we hope this episode can be a blessing as we walk through the film's heaviness with you.
Join Tom, Ben, and Will for our Pray Away takeaways. While Tom only had positive experiences with Exodus International, Will had significant negative ones. Ben gives us his take as a married guy in a mixed-orientation marriage and how other marrieds might see themselves in this film. We share about our Exodus connections with some of the people in the film, as well as the annual conferences Tom and Will attended, and we ponder the notion of whether a "Side B" theology (traditional sexual ethic, LGBT+ identifying) was lacking amid the "Side X" (or "ex-gay") and "Side A" (affirming) points-of-view in the documentary.
It's perhaps our first try at a YOB "film club"? We hope you enjoy this episode.
COMMENT ON THIS EPISODE
➡️ What did you think of Pray Away? What was encouraging about the film, and what was challenging, if not devastating? Share only as you're comfortable.

The guys dive into “pool” workouts, favorite sandwiches, and trivia night fortes, with the big meat of this conversation being the topic of Stitch Fix.
