Episode Summary
We're back and opinionated as ever (this was Molly's suggested show title). The outcome of Charlie Kirk's assassination has yielded greater opportunity to engage with newcomers attending church. Molly asks the question: what do you say to the LGBT community who know what the church stands for but feel drawn to it anyway? We pose possible answers to this and discuss associate topics of conviction of sin, grace, dying to self and the relevance today of 2 Timothy 1:7.
