Nate, it is so valuable to hear the complex pressure you endured while forced to be in the closet due to religion. Thank you for articulating your pain so well. You are apologizing for something that is not your fault which is also generous of you. I also loved how your ex acknowledged that you are a victim too (around 14:11). What an amazing woman. Enjoyed this conversation very much. Thank you!

Makenna seems so nice and i like her humour

I think the mould that is given by the church for men and women is very harmful...especially to quirky individuals that have character and self expression. Good for you for deconstructing and staying honest with yourself. It is a pleasure to sit with such authentic people. Thank-you for your vulnerability in sharing.

I thought about the deception caused by enforced straightness. I never realized though how it sets women up for confusion and rejection! It was nice to have Makenna’s perspective Also I love that the girls got together and called him out on his behavior

I think you're being a bit hard on him, people date and break up all the time for many reasons, not just being gay, it's part of life. Most people don't marry the first person they dated.

Imagine all of the totally messed up marriages due to " all knowing " religious authority figures who tell you there is only one way to live and be happy

Is there a way I can contact you guys? I’m going through something and would like you guys advice

Romans 10:9 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
