The LGBTQ+ Support and Resource Guide is designed for LGBTQ+ Christians who are ready to stop feeling torn between their faith and their identity.

Stories of real gay Christians who have navigated the same struggles and found peace
Practical tools and prompts to reflect, journal, and process your feelings
A personal testimony from me that models a slower, grace-filled path toward self-acceptance
and healing
This guide meets you where you are — whether you feel lost, hurt, or conflicted — and helps you take small, meaningful steps toward freedom, clarity, and a deeper connection with your loving Creator.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Lauren Lanzaretta is a singer, songwriter, and proud gay Christian who knows what it’s like to feel torn between faith and identity. Raised in an evangelical Christian environment, Lauren spent years wrestling with shame, guilt, and self-doubt as she navigated her sexuality alongside her faith. Music became her refuge and her voice, a way to process pain and celebrate authenticity.
Driven by her own journey of healing, Lauren created the podcast You Can Be Both to help others who are walking the same path. Through candid conversations, personal stories, and interviews with affirming voices, she offers guidance, hope, and a safe space for LGBTQ+ Christians seeking to reconcile faith and identity. Lauren’s mission is simple: to show others that it’s possible to embrace both who they are and the loving Creator who made them.

You Can Be Both is a podcast for LGBTQ+ Christians navigating the tension between faith and identity. Host Lauren Lanzaretta shares her personal journey, interviews affirming voices, and offers encouragement, guidance, and hope for anyone seeking to embrace both who they are and their relationship with God.
