In this weeks episode I spoke with a very dear friend. His name is David Hoover. He is an intellectual, philosopher, and simply an amazingly wonderful human. He also happens to be a gay man who still adheres to his faith as a member of the Pentecostal Church. In our conversation we discuss his difficulties in reconciling his faith with his sexual orientation. We also talk about his “many coming out” moments and about his life in general. I feel as though this is one of the most important chats I’ve had the benefit of having. David provided his story with a great sense of candor and I hope it gives some hope to those who have felt hopeless.
