Summary

My friend @noah7hanson on IG shares his journey as a gay Latter-day Saint. Noah talks about life in High School, and his successful mission (came out to Heavenly Father at the end of his mission). Noah also talks about dating women, getting engaged, and then receiving strong personal revelation to end that engagement and come out to his now ex-fiancé as gay. That put Noah in a very difficult and dark space. Noah eventually felt his best path forward was to date men and stay in the Church. Noah met Marshall Day (Atlanta, Georgia RM, Graduate from Utah State) about two years ago, and talks about how that relationship has strengthened his faith in his Heavenly Father and the Savior. Noah and Marshall attend Church each week and hope to participate as much as possible in the Church, and raise a family centered on Christ and His gospel. Thank you Noah for being on the podcast and sharing your story. It will help so many. Glad to meet you and Marshall. You two have great lives ahead of you. ** Please Check Out My Book At: ** Deseret Book: www.deseretbook.com/p/listen-learn-and-love-embracing-lgbtq-latter-day-saints Amazon: www.amazon.com/dp/1462135773
