You Can Be Both

42,000+ Denominations...So What's the TRUTH About Being Gay and Christian?

In today’s episode of You Can Be Both, Lauren Lanzaretta dives deep into one of the biggest questions she receives across comments, DMs, and emails: What is the TRUTH—especially when it comes to being gay and Christian?

Christians can’t agree on anything… yet claim they know the "TRUTH" about gay people. We explore Biblical interpretation, denominational differences, context behind the “clobber verses,” and why LGBTQ+ Christians have long been denied the same grace extended to others in the church.

This is a compassionate, honest conversation about orientation, scripture, love, and what it truly means to follow Jesus.

If you’ve ever wondered whether faith and sexuality can coexist, or if you simply want to understand this conversation on a deeper level—this episode is for you.

If you’re searching for answers about faith, sexuality, and the Bible, this video will give you clarity, context, and compassion.

You Can Be Both

What To Do When Your Family, Friends, or Church Don't Accept You For Who You Are (LGBTQ+)

Welcome back to the "You Can Be Both" Podcast! 🌈✝️In today's episode we're talking about how to deal with people in our lives who DON'T fully accept us for who we are. From parents, to siblings, to friends and of course, our churches, I dive into how I've been able to maintain relationships with people who say "I love you, but..." or those who simply don't accept us at all. I also read a VERY powerful testimony, that literally brings me to tears. Comment below if her story touched you as well.
