In today’s episode you will hear from Aaron Munson during his session entitled Help or Hindrance at our 2021 Devoted seminar. Aaron Munson is a licensed school counselor and a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) who provides virtual counseling for people who are struggling to reconcile their faith and their sexuality/sexual orientation. Aaron also leads a parent group for parents of LGBTQ+ kids to support them on their faith journey as they seek to love their kids well. This work is important to Aaron because he identifies as gay. In light of his traditional sexual ethic, Aaron responded to God's prompting to enter into a mixed orientation marriage to his favorite human, Liz, and they have two incredible and curious children. Although Aaron has a traditional sexual ethic, he doesn't push others to believe the same, as he recognizes every encounter with God is different, and every person's story is unique. To that end, Aaron and Liz are both passionate about helping the church love those in the LGBTQ+ community, and making churches safe places for queer people.

Please keep in mind that varying viewpoints are represented in our organization & that is reflected in the speakers who are a part of this Devoted series. Rather than promoting a certain theological viewpoint, LOVEboldly’s goal is for LGBTQIA+ people to belong, feel safe, and flourish in the Church. Please enjoy today’s episode from Aaron Munson!
