From what I can gather it is not polysexual but intentional community. Even traditional communities are not solely marriage and no other relating. It is so sad that extended families nearby are so rare these days.

We gotta get better intro music, the track you start with is straight up Corporate Training music

Also gay means happy 😊 joyful ,means attracted to the same sex ,it doesn’t imply you are sexual . lol

Solidarity vs solitude. Some may prefer one or both. But these are not opposed to another. One may seek to be alone for contemplation or reservedness. But, in solidarity there is the familial experience of connectedness. I actually think 'solidarity' or 'mutual affection' are better conceits then just saying 'community' which could become cliche or cultish (hence 'the collective'). Side B myself, pragmatically, I think there should be lifestyles based around such solidarity for those that are not on the traditional path. For most of church history that path might've been seen as 'monastic'. But I think as 21st century Christians (and those of us Protestants) the second tier path should be given as solidarity after 'pursuing/marriage' for those singles that want to remain single or celibate whether short or long term. I think if we approach it this way than classifying or categorizing as sexual identity, our conservative faith communities will be more open. Because then they'll see we aren't changing anything they hasn't already been repeated in Church History or in Scripture but bringing it into a modern context

I think we just need to scrap the side lingo honestly and just be us and simple

Always a pleasure.

I've also seen Christians completely miss the point and conflate Pride with the Deadly Sin of Pride and thus start going on about the virtue of Humility.... which couldn't be further from reality. It's humbling for me to accept that I am a GSM Christian, that I am a Christian who is a gender and sexual minority person and a gender and sexual minority person who is a child of the One God.

Just to confirm--if I'm on the lowest level on your patreon (loyal bee), I can just stay there? (Joyce Sharnin)

Honestly, I think living in God's image, is to love as unconditionally as we can with our limited human nature. If God is love and love means to will the good of the other, that's what we're called to do, nothing less, nothing more.

You all were greatly missed. So sorry about your beautiful friend Victtoriia.

Yes!!!! Season 5!!!! Can't wait for this series. Praying for your lost friend, they're in a better place now.

👏🏼

Thanks for making this podcast so available 😊 I recently found out about side B Christianity and hearing your story really really resonated with me. I've always been Christian but I wasn't following Jesus whatsoever, until I started trying recently and was lead to your podcast. I'm still figuring things out but I'm looking forward to listening to these and I hope one day God can use me as well. Our gay community is so broken 🥺 thank you for helping 🙏🏻 God bless

Thank you for releasing a new episode just about every week! Have a wonderful time at the Revoice!

Very helpful.

Loved hearing & feeling a part of this conversation.

I appreciate the transparency

Thank you for having these conversations. As someone who’s been in a Side A partnership for nearly 10 years, I’d really like to hear perspective from a couple who have transitioned into a celibate partnership.

Been kind of binge watching your channel since I found you. This episode is one of the best.

Thank you so much for this episode! This was my first episode listening to Life on Side B and I was drawn to it because I am also a bisexual Christian. When you guys talked about how the Gospel meets the needs of the needy more than the satisfaction of the full, I was so moved! As I have struggled with my theology of sexuality, it has been difficult to find a community and belonging in both the Christian and LGBTQ+ circles, but finding that there is a group of LGBTQ+ Christians has utterly changed my life! I am so looking forward to hearing more episodes from you guys! Thank you so much!

wow, this is powerful. It's so clear that Jesus is ~truly~ the reason for you guy's faith. Pursuing his heart. he is enough, good and kind, we have hope. Also comforting to know that Jesus too had doubts! Yes just a lovely podcast, thankful to have found it and will defo listen to more of your stuff; you all are lush! <3

So awesome to find this podcast!

Just coming back to this video! The conversation was so rich, and so many topics were touched on that deserve further conversation: developing friendships across gender and sex, differing gender and orientation experiences in Side B community, how the church compels demisexuality for afab folks, and how the broader community can begin to think about misogyny and has already begin to do so. I look forward to hearing more from Johanna F., Ashley, and Sarah.

This whole side A, side B deal is confusing to people. Just say you are gay people who don't have sex because you believe the Bible says it's wrong. Simple.

Okay the relatability of that metaphor though! "Even though God's grace should have all the predictability of a romcom, I still feel like I watch (my life) like it's a thriller." - Greg Coles

I really loved this conversation with Steve! At the same time that Henry was being encouraged and challenged (30:00) so was I! I look forward to more conversations with Side B folks not in the US.

Wow, awesome program! Excellent job and thanks for being so vulnerable with your own stories. Very impactful!

35:56 this has been my exact experience. I can count on one hand the amount of times i've heard the word "gay" or "homosexual" or anything like that used in church (twice), and in both instances it was a small couple of seconds throwaway comment of little value or meaning from parishioners, and not from anyone of leadership in the church. I've never heard a sermon on the issue of sexuality or even one that mentions it even for just a couple of sentences as an aside to a larger topic. and I can see how that would be seen as the ideal way to approach the topic, and it's certainly better than someone screaming from the pulpit that we're going to hell, but when there is a precedent of exclusion towards sexual and gender minorities in the church, the default is not one of positive inclusion, or even neutrality and indifference for that matter, the default becomes one of fear and exclusion. Until the precedent of exclusion is gone, active inclusion is the only way to include sexual and gender minorities.

Here from Queer Christian Twitter, having followed Grant and others, I saw he was a co-host here so here I am! I'm slowly learning about Side B, Side A, and what those mean for the Church. I will be definitely going back through the previous episodes of the podcast! Any recommendations on where to start?

So much treasures in this conversation! I have had to pause some pressing job to watch the whole of this. Bingo!
