Hello friends welcome back to another episode of theology in the raw my name is press and sprinkle and my guest for today's show is Lindsay Snyder Lindsay Snyder works for equip ministries.

She is the content creator and donor relations officer.

She has a degree from Taylor University she graduated in 2014 with a BA in film and media production.

She's currently working towards a masters in social work and her goals have become a counselor and journey with others like her who are navigating the tension between the Christian faith and sexuality.

I came across Lindsay's work because she wrote a series of blogs for equip ministries.

So equipyourcommunity.org is the website or the URL you can go to to find this blog series and I'm friends with Peter Volk who is on the show recently.

Who runs equip and Lindsay wrote a series of blogs on female sexuality for equip ministries and they were so good they were so incredibly good.

There's like four or five blogs that she has over the last year and it talks about the uniqueness the complexity.

Female sexuality both from her own lived experience as somebody who is attracted to the same sex and also from the perspective of somebody who's really smart and well read and has done a lot of research on this topic as well and that's the focus of our time together is talking about the uniqueness the complexity and the beauty of female sexuality and we do get into a topic that I've been wanting to talk about on the show for a while.

And yet it's a topic that for various reasons I feel a little nervous just kind of waxing eloquent from my own straight mailness and that is the topic of the rise in teenage females identifying not as lesbian but as bisexual or pansexual.

And we get into that probably the latter half of the show talk about why younger females are more likely to identify as bisexual then then lesbian or even sometimes straight I mean I feel like sometimes the bisexual identity is almost more common than a that a straight identity among some context among teenage females.
