Is Everyone Agnostic?

Last updated on: July 10, 2018 at 7:32 am By Amber Cantorna

I recently had the opportunity to be interviewed by the Everyone’s Agnostic podcast. This was definitely not on the list of opportunities I foresaw for myself when going public with my story almost exactly one year ago. But doing this interview turned out to be an honor. In reality, I think there needs to be a little agnosticism inside each of us-the space of wonder and mystery where we are free and humble enough to say, “I don’t know.” Certainty leads... Read more

Bronco Beanies and Other Simple Joys

Last updated on: December 7, 2018 at 9:45 am By Amber Cantorna

When my wife and I moved into our home this summer, we quickly had to come up with a new daily route to walk our pup. Walking for her is part of our daily routine so we promptly started roaming the neighborhood. As we tried several different routes and started getting one established, I frequently saw a young Hispanic man, approximately in his early 20’s walking what seems to be several miles. Often, we would pass him twice within... Read more

Scandal, Mercy and Grace

Last updated on: December 7, 2018 at 9:45 am By Amber Cantorna

Every once in awhile I enjoy using my creativity to imagine what some of the stories we read in the Bible must have really been like. For my blog this week, please enjoy my take on what this story of scandal and mercy must have been like for the adulterous woman who encountered Jesus… The setting is ancient Israel…a riot takes over the crowd in the marketplace. Men in leadership, Pharisees, are leading in their pious way through the street,... Read more

Amazing Love, Amazing Grace: Reflective Thoughts from My GCN Experience

Last updated on: December 7, 2018 at 9:46 am By Amber Cantorna

This past weekend, I attended the Gay Christian Network Conference for the second time, this year hosted in Houston, Texas.

Refocusing My Family: How the Daughter of a Focus on the Family Executive Came Out as Gay

Last updated on: July 10, 2018 at 7:32 am By Amber Cantorna

I was 27 when I had finally mustered every last bit of courage to have “the talk” with my family. I had been pondering, planning and praying for months. My heart weighed heavy and anxiety took my mind down every possible outcome. I knew, as the daughter of a Focus on the Family executive, the results of my truth could be devastating. But I had reached the point where living a lie was worse than whatever lay on... Read more
