Summary

Colton Beach is a Christ-follower who's also a gay New Yorker who grew up secretly struggling with same sex attraction’ in the Independent Fundamental Baptist church. He grew up ignoring his sexual identity for the sake of his Christian identity which allowed sexual sin to fester in darkness until it could no longer be ignored. He is passionate about calling the church to be honest about the reality and extent of our brokenness to invite those around us to do the same.
