YOBcast 062: "Side A" Friends
"Side A" people follow Jesus with an affirming position on same-sex sexual relationships. As Jesus-followers from a "Side B" (traditional) position on marriage and sexuality, is it difficult or effortless to forge friendships with folks who are Side A?
Join Tom, Dean, and Matt for a discussion on their experiences with Side A friendships: both with friends who started out Side A and also with friends who started out Side B – only for them to change to Side A.
Can Side B-turned-A friendships survive? How do we build healthy Side A friendships?

COMMENT ON THIS EPISODE
Do you have any "Side A" friends as a "Side "B" (or X, Y, SSA, etc.) follower of Jesus? Why or why not? Have you lost any fellow "Side B" friends to a Side A theology, or have you maintained and built those friendships despite the new theological differences?
