Bridget. I think your writings are outstanding. Thank you for your efforts to help people find their personal relationship with god. I saw a few potential typos on the book part of blog, and I hesitate to even bring them up. But the writings are so powerful, I don't want anything to distract from them. Hope you don't mind, and take it as help and not criticism. Will 05/20/2019
I will for sure check it out and share it and I love ya too. I used to have a hard time believing God would love me for being lesbian and a lot of that came from the church we went to and the preacher. I think that's a lot of the reason it took so long for me personally to come out as a transmale because if he wasn't gonna love me he certainly wouldn't for being trans so maybe this will really help me.

Absolutely beautiful!! Brought chills through my whole body. Thank you Bridget. Pops Don 05/26/2019
Glad you added me! I just had a minute to see who we have as mutual friends before I added you. Finally had a little more time to read a bit on your book! Religion is why I ‘ran’ from who I knew I was, but I accepted who I am when I was 35 yo. and started living as a gay Christian. I look forward to reading more! My first long-term partner after my 18.5 year marriage to my ex-husband, believes in God and we did go to church, but I disagreed with her belief that she (and all other gay Christians) would go to hell when she dies b/c being gay is an abomination to God. That was one of the things that ended up leading to our split. LD 06/16/2019
I'm trying to remember if you friended me or if it was a FB suggestion, but I am sure it was a higher power that made it happen. Your message is exactly what I need at exactly the right moment. Thank you. BTW, I was born in ________. I'm happy to become friends. Kimi 06/15/2019

I cant wait to hear more of what you have to say!! Tammy 06/14/2019
Hey Bridget, well I wanted to mainly message you to let you know that I Love you. As a Christian, I know that the most important part of life is Love. That’s our high calling. 10 years ago God began to reveal to me the true message of Grace. For almost two years I fought it. Because it went against everything that I had been taught and believed about salvation and works righteousness. I have grown so much in this area, even though I know that I am still in the elementary stages of its Truth. From the pulpit, I try not to be very political, especially when it comes to calling out specific sins. I believe that the Holy Spirit can do his work better than I could ever do. So I leave that up to God. Even though I have my own personal opinion about various issues, and at times I have struggled to express those views, I still believe that Jesus is the one who needs to be spoken about the most. He is the answer. He is the object of my affection. With that said, let me get to the topic that is on my heart. I don’t know how it feels to be gay, or attracted to the same sex. I can’t begin to understand how a person struggles with wanting to have a relationship with God, and at the same time dealing with condemnation mainly from “Pharisees.” I know what the scriptures say about that lifestyle, but I also know what it says about other lifestyles too. I cannot judge, and I choose not to judge. We will all one day know the truth, when we stand before God and give an account. I want you to know that I may not agree, but I will not judge neither will I condemn. With all sincerity, I continue to pray that God will give me direction when it comes to same sex issues. To me it’s not all black and white. But I do love you, and I know that God has blessed you and gifted you with an amazing personality! Feel free to speak candidly to me, as I feel that I can speak openly to you. Blessings!! Coach 06/27/2019
Bridget, I've been having a lot of trouble sleeping lately, even more than usual, lol. I've had an interest in your facebook notes and now your blog, for a while but haven't had time to read.
Tonight, I clicked your post and began reading your book. I began reading and could not stop. Now, I'm so silly tired, so I'll have to read more later
I'm going to say some things that may or may not make sense.
As we were getting to know one another, I could tell you were a Christian (I don't even care for that word these days, but that's another story) but you know what I mean...you are a lover of God.
Also, I knew you were gay. I questioned it though, because I knew you were a Christian. Then when I heard you say it was true, I wanted to sincerely ask you how can that be? I was afraid to ask. I didn't want to upset you because you have an amazing _________ that I dearly love and I dare not do anything to jeopardize our relationship. Still, I was curious. I did Google it, but really found no answers, nothing compared to yours. As I read your words tonight, tears flowed down my face. I'm not saying I fully understand or believe the same and that's ok. I am saying that everything I read made sense to me. I will definitely continue to read. I will also share your page with some dear friends of mine as well as my cousin. Bridget, you are an absolutely amazing person, full of love and compassion for others. I love you, girl. ((((Hugs)))) Vicky 06/10/2019

Hey there! I just clicked off your site and onto messenger to find this, so good timing! I am glad you are doing this. People need this truth and the promise of God’s unconditional love. I love to blow minds with energy and light. I use that everyday in the healing work I do. I love to show Christians something outside their dogmatic belief system. Christy 05/20/2019
We will for sure, I think its amazing that you are doing this you are a very gifted and I can't wait to read this I love you bridget. Lisa and D 05/20/2019
I love you and I have been asking God as well as searching my own heart for my beliefs to line up with His Will. I have questions and am excited. Michele 05/20/2019

Hey I saw your talk on Facebook I will go to your site. I’m very interested in this and trying very hard to grow spiritually I actually got baptized last summer. It’s great to hear from you. Leigh 05/25/2019
Yes ma'am I agree. We talk about it often. She wants to go to church but she is scared someone will shun her for being gay I told her you have to want a relationship with God and don't worry about what ppl say. We don't know where to look for a church. HELP me find us one cause _____ wants to go also.
I tell everyone my daughter ___________ married the love of her life and gender doesn't matter to me and should not to anyone else. Tudy Fruity 05/03/2019

Hey Bridget!!! So good to hear from you. I’m doing well, thank you. I too sneak on your page occasionally to see how things are. Social media is great! And I’m very interested in your page. That sounds amazing. Thank you for sharing your info and including me. I can’t wait to read it. Kristin 05/25/2019
Love it! I also love how hard you are working. I will check it out and share with some friends. Tristen 05/26/2019
I just read your post about losing your religion and you added the song. Love me some Lauren Daigle. So you are a Lesbian Christian? I’ll take a look at it Sleepy right now ... Anna 6/24/2019
I'm actually not religious at all and I'm barely spiritual. But I will accept your friendship and I appreciate the sentiment!!! Izk 6/24/2019
I’m more of an individualist but thank you for the invitation. I wish you well. Alicia 06/20/2019
I agree! Thanks for sharing and I watched my first video last night. Intriguing for a Catholic woman. Debbie 06/22/2019
Having trouble getting to your full message but I must say I am very intrigued. I love people who are real, positive, and about helping others. Pics of sweet boy are precious. Makes me think of great nephews and nieces. Would love to trade thoughts. How did you come to do what you are doing with your message? I am truly interested. I believe there is a higher power in this world. I ultimately want to believe in good in the universe. However, it is hard to understand why there is so much pain and sorrow. Why so many people can't find peace? Why have you always had such faith in God? Where does your belief come from? I appreciate your willingness to share ideas. Not sure if you friend requested me which is what I thought or whether you were just suggested as a friend but I like batting ideas back and forth. Tonya 06/23/2019
Thank you for making me think and study and search for answers that I really had put on a back burner. I have learned something in each of the blogs you have put out. I enjoyed the clips about CSF and the one of emotions (however I am going back through that one again). I think its ironic that we both have studied Matthew Vines work. I really loved it the first time and you emphasized material that I had forgotten. All this to say God made each of us for who we are. I feel he gave certain people different gifts. Being gay can and is also a gift. I think that he has chosen certain people to walk and live in these shoes. He needed someone like you to tell others the love of God is for all no matter how different we all are. He has love for them and they can be certain his love has no boundaries of sexual orientation, ethnicity or any other differences one may have.
I struggled for many years and was angry at God for making me who I was. I was in my adulthood before I realized and accepted I am who God made. I was made specifically as his child and yet he made me gay. I had to learn that no matter who, family or friends can fix something that wasn't broken. Giving people permission to feel make they normal and accepted can change lives.
I was to[d I was just doing this gay thing and I had to change. I needed to get back to church. And I don't need to be bringing shame on the family. I respectfully said I was in church and I walked very close to God and that I was " this way" since I was born. I didn't ask for this.
Thank you for making think and searching my heart and realizing I need God up front and center for all avenues of my life. Please continue doing this work because it will make a difference in people's lives. It made me stop in my tracks! Diane 8/18/2019

Read both Blog 11 and 12. Jeff Cook simplified his explanation. Gay couples appear to put Christ into their lives a lot deeper. Knowing plenty of gay/lesbian people, in my own opinion, has seemed to brought more love, compassion and caring into their Christian belief. Why is one to condemn the other when they both believe in love of Christ? Seems that we are all on the same page but reading different interpretations. I'll never get why people challenge faiths in Christ because of sexual preference. If we are of the children of God, why can't we be a happy family? We are different because God made us different. Jezebel was one finicky chick. Talk about getting your mind twisted. Stay away from windows if you think you are somebody you are definitely not. . Enjoyed these two blogs. Pops Don 08/19/2019
