Shoulder to Shoulder: A wrap-up on the series with Kevin Castanheiro, Evan Dewald and Tara Linsley

This week on Unpacked we wrap up the Shoulder to Shoulder series with a bonus episode to reflect on the incredible series we've been on together and explore some of the valuable feedback and insights we've received from our listeners and guests.  We uncovered important themes of forgiveness and courage and learned from remarkable individuals who have experienced harm or alienation from their communities, yet have found paths to healing while honoring their own unique experiences. We share our personal insights, discussing what we've learned about ourselves during this series too. As we wrap-up this series, we want to leave you with a sense of purpose. What do we hope you take away from these conversations? What are the next steps for you, the listener? We'll suggest questions to consider and resources to explore further, including statistics, recommended books, and ways to make a positive impact. Join us for this heartfelt closing episode of Shoulder to Shoulder, where love always has a seat at the table, and there's a place for you right here with us. The producers and co-creators of the Unpacked Podcast present a special series 10.5-part series Shoulder to Shoulder. Shoulder to Shoulder is co-hosted by  Evan Dewald, Tara Linsley and Kevin Castanherio unpacking the relationship between the church and the LGTBQ+ community with ex-pastors, inclusive churches, thought leaders, and LGBTQ+ members. The goal is not to change your mind, but we are here to challenge that we can disagree and still love. We can disagree and include. We can disagree, stand up for the marginalized, and take responsibility for harm. And there is room for all in this space as we come together.  Shoulder to Shoulder is brought to you by Kevin Castanheiro and Joel Fortier in partnership with Unpacked Podcast.
