    About this ebook

    Denomination after denomination makes the news for the latest scandal or squabble around sexuality and identity, and the same Bible verses get thrown around over and over. In this mix of poetry and worship, Waggy offers an invitation to conversation not about proving someone else wrong but about exploring the mystery of grace, belonging, and healing. Written for Christians seeking to understand the LGBTQ+ community and for the community hoping to reclaim their Christian faith, The Night I Came Out to God demonstrates that faithfulness has as many faces as the God it claims.
