In this episode, Marcus Hayden discusses his story coming out as gay as a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and preparing to receive a mission call. Marcus responds to questions such as, "What do you do when church hurts?", "Why do you stay in the church?", and "How can we better minister to the queer community?". He explains how we can better love and support those that are apart of the rainbow community both inside and outside of the church. Marcus leaves listeners with validation and encouragement to live the life that is best for them regardless of what that looks like.
