Podcast: That Sounds Fun with Annie F. Downs
Published On: Thu Aug 01 2024
Description: Today on the show, you’re in for a good one. You’ve probably heard me talk about my friend, Jonathan Merritt, and today you’re going to get to know him AND his dad, Dr. James Merritt. These two have a really special relationship as father and son even though they don’t see eye to eye on a lot of things, including sexuality. Today we’re going to talk about their latest books The God Who Hears and My Guncle and Me, and we’re also going to talk about their relationship and how they’ve navigated their differences. Listen. I want you to lean in here…this is a really nuanced conversation, which is hard to do in a public setting. It’s such an honor that Jonathan and Dr. Merritt would agree to have this conversation with us and the sacredness of this is not lost on me. I have so much to learn from both of them and I’m grateful for what I learned in this conversation.  For parents, we recommend listening first without your kids so you can decide how you want to engage any conversations this episode might bring up. . . . .
