When I heard that this episode was coming out on Sunday, I was a little worried as I had no idea what to expect. But it turned out to be the discussion I was hoping for. The discussion provided some great tools for parents and friends on how to react to a family member or friend who is discussing their identity. I also liked the references to scripture, which went right along with the tools. The discussion talked about the peace and love that God has for all of his children, no matter what their identity or spiritual beliefs. I love our church!
