YOB ConvoCast 075: Tom & Matthew are Making "Side A" Friends!

It's our post-Thanksgiving episode! Matthew returns to share how he celebrates Thanksgiving with his Navajo family, including which food takes the central place of the traditional American turkey. He also educates us with a Native American fact to help us commemorate Native American Heritage Month. For the rest of our conversation, Matthew and Tom discuss the topic of "Side A" friendship – that is, friendships with gay believers with an affirming theology or an acceptance of same-sex relationships. Matthew mentions a new Side A friend, and Tom discusses his own recent experience with a Side A person, comparing it with a stilted interaction from over a decade ago. Has there been growth, and what does connection despite differing beliefs look like?
