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

dialogue, variety of opinion, and differing belief systems. God is gray is meant to teach,

inform, and simply trade stories with kindness, love, and mutual respect.

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

Hi, beautiful people. This is Lauren Delieri. She is formerly of the Christian band Love Collide and has an amazing podcast, The Deconstruct Pod. She has brilliant guests on there.

You can also check her out on Grace Baldridge's Refinery 29 episode about worship music

drummer, classic. And so yeah, we were in CCM in the Christian music industry for like 10 years, so the majority of our adult lives.
