About You Can Be Both
You Can Be Both is hosted by singer/songwriter Lauren Lanzaretta, who shares honest conversations about being both gay and Christian—two identities often seen as incompatible. The podcast creates space for LGBTQ+ people of faith to find healing, community, and a deeper connection with Christ while fully embracing who they are. As a first step to your healing journey, I recommend the “LGBTQ+ Healing & Resource Guide” - go to www.youcanbeboth.com for this and other resources.

And also, there is so much beauty in the church and in Christianity that I just remember when I was coming out, how painful it was. And it felt like an impossible task because I had to choose one or the other, which is whatever. I'm just constantly plugging your show that I'm on. But like, no, this concept that you can be both and that person in the back of my mind that is going to be like, no, you can't. It's like, who is that? Who is this fake person that I'm thinking of?
