145: Cole Rasmussen | Reconciling My Faith By Accepting My Sexuality

In an office at the Church Office Building—overlooking the angel Moroni atop the Salt Lake Temple, Cole received a blessing from Elder Cook. In that blessing Cole was promised that he would be able to marry a woman, have children, and eventually serve a mission with his wife.

Unfortunately for Elder Cook, the priesthood power of a general authority could not make Cole straight.

After years of navigating (and trailblazing) a path of authenticity and honesty, Cole has found joy in his journey, and love in his life. In this episode he shares what it took to get him to this point—and what he's learned along the way.
