Can you be a GAY Christian (or any religion)?

Welcome to the very first episode of "You Can Be Both!" 🌈✝️

In this powerful debut, host and singer/songwriter Lauren Lanzaretta opens up about her personal journey of being both gay and Christian -- two identities that many say can't coexist. Lauren shares her heartfelt testimony, reflecting on the struggles, faith and freedom she's found through embracing all parts of who she is.

She talks about how she found peace with herself, discovered unconditional love from God and offers hope to others who may be wrestling with their faith and identity.

Whether you identify as LGBTQ+, are questioning your beliefs, or simply want to better understand the intersection of spirituality and authenticity - this episode will inspire you to know that you can be both.

Listen, reflect and begin your own journey toward peace and connection with God and yourself.
