Did you know the word \\u201chomosexual\\u201d didn\\u2019t appear in the Bible until 1946? Neither did we. And neither did Kathy Baldock until a gay friend said, \\u201cEven God doesn\\u2019t love me,\\u201d and Kathy, a heterosexual, practicing Christian, went looking for answers.

Today, Kathy is an author (Walking The Bridgeless Canyon), LGBTQ advocate, international speaker and educator. She has done more research than almost anyone in the world on the origins of Christianity's discrimination against the LGBTQ community. She joins Sabrina to discuss:
