Summary
There is no pot of gold at the end of the Pride rainbow. Host Joseph Backholm is joined by Family Research Council’s Walt Heyer for a discussion on the long-term effects of Pride and to unpack the exponential growth of those who identify as LGBTQ. What is the draw of identifying as LGBTQ? Is it the sense of community? How many are choosing this lifestyle deliberately in defiance of God? Speaking from his personal experience, Walt weighs on how Christians should respond to Pride, why the “T” should be taken out of LGBTQ, and the difference between gay Pride and Pride.

| 1:07.0 | thread the needle and trying to figure out how to speak truth in love. Now in one sense June just forces us to exercise a muscle that we need |
| 1:18.9 | year-round because that's really what the church in the current culture needs to be able to do all the time. |
