Manage episode 424813237 series 97151
Marco Casanova wasn’t actively gay until he went to seminary. And while in seminary he kind of lived a double life. He’d learn and fulfill his duties during the day, and at night he’d go to gay bars. Fortunately for him, his wise formators were able to help him discern his vocation more accurately, and help him integrate his sexuality. Today, Marco is married to his wife and works as the Associate Director of Desert Stream Living Waters to help others integrate their whole self. Marco grew up in Houston Texas and entered seminary. After leaving in 2018, he was introduced to Desert Stream Ministries and started working as an intern. He married his wife in 2022.
