Jesus: The Love You Cannot Escape

In this episode, the third in this series, I talk with Grant Eddy. He shares how the loss of a loved one led him down the path of spiritual understanding eventually discovering the inclusivity of Jesus, to becoming a Christian. We discuss how his faith and sexuality are intertwined, how initially he felt excluded from Christianity until finding an affirming church & discovering the true love of Jesus, how he finds it important to dialogue and feels called by Jesus to love all people, no matter what, and the scriptures he uses to combat an alternate Christian viewpoint.

Although born in Vacaville Oregon, He has lived in the rogue valley for most of his life and calls it his native home.
