YOBcast Episode 042: Generations
How have our culture and we ourselves understood and expressed issues of sexuality across the generations?

The Painful Path to Restored Friendship
After the funeral, I felt almost paralyzed. I just couldn’t force myself to lead at the house. James needed me to lead and be a help to him, so he confronted me on being too passive. I admitted he was right, but I felt unable to get beyond my emotions and lead others. Things degenerated until James and I barely talked.
