Hello, beautiful people. Welcome to God is Gray, the podcast. Although I as a Christian believe that God resides in absolute truth, in black and white, we as people are stuck here on planet Earth contending with the gray. In church,

gray areas often cause dissension, anger, and even hate. But on this platform, I welcome open

If you have a story or perspective to share, please reach me, Brenda Marie Davies at God is GreyXO at gmail.com.

A lot of you've asked about my struggle with anorexia, which is something I faced in my early
