How my LGBT experience brought me closer to Jesus | with Jeff Bennion

Today we are joined by Jeff Bennion. Jeff shares part of his journey as a Latter-Day Saint with Same-Sex Attraction and talks about an organization he co-founded called North Star International. The North Star website states that, "North Star is a faith-affirming resource for Latter-day Saints addressing sexual orientation and gender identity, and who desire to live in harmony with the teachings of Jesus Christ and the doctrines and values of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints." This week North Star is having a conference. On Thursday, June 10 at 6:30 PM they'll have an opening social that's free and open to anyone, following that on Friday and Saturday they'll have different things going on from 7:30 AM to around 5:00 PM, and then on Sunday, they'll have a testimony meeting. A few of the different speakers will include Nik Day, Michael Mclean, and Carol McConkie (former member of the Young Women general presidency). At the conference, they'll have different breakout sessions, some specific for youth, some for spouses, some for individuals with SSA, some for transgender individuals, and some church leaders.

North Star an Interview w/ Jeff Bennion

Ty Mansfield

In anticipation of the upcoming North Star Conference, on June 10th-13th, my friends Ty Mansfield and Jeff Bennion join us to share their story of the founding of North Star—how and why it all started. They share the goals, vision, and mission of North Star, as well as address some common misconceptions about North Star. Ty and Jeff also share some of their personal stories as Latter-day Saints navigating the intersections of sexuality and faith and their personal paths forward. You can learn more about North Star at NorthStarLDS.org register for the June conference at NorthStarLDS.org/Conference2021.
