I think I explained to him that I just didn’t feel ready, that I wanted to figure out how to be a person a little more before bringing someone else into it. Develop my walk with Christ. All the usual talking points. He was understanding. We both cried.

I had dinner with a friend one day, and out of nowhere he mentioned something about Your Other Brothers. We had never discussed issues of sexuality together, and regardless of his intention, God was working. He suggested I check out YOB's podcast on the way home, and I did, and I got hooked.
