I wanted to correct my comment at the end of this episode where I make claim to a winning streak. That was not correct as we already lost that streak on New Years Eve to Vancouver. Also, I am posting this after our game with Toronto tonight...as I furiously type this due to the nightmarish turnout of that game. I said "We should win...it's the Maple Leafs!" #Eatingmywords Please feel free to leave your comments below or reply to me on twitter @andy_lara.

The Anaheim Ducks are winning and Andy can't help himself, and Mike writes a public statement on Gay marriage. As always, please leave your thoughts and questions in the comments below! Read "A Statement About Gay Marriage" below: Since we’ve started VOX The Mike Erre Podcast we’ve fielded many questions and comments in regards to the Church’s stance on Gay marriage and the LGBTQ conversation. In the midst of this and over the years I have begun to process a lot of these thoughts and I thought it would be appropriate to provide some more information about my stance on this topic. I have recently been seeing an increasing number of ‘public statements’ on this issue from communities of faith, and most of them are resoundingly negative. I wanted to try a different approach. Let me know what you think. – Mike Erre A Statement About Gay Marriage Se

We launch the VOX podcast by discussing the church’s response to the Supreme Court ruling regarding same-sex marriage and the challenge of Jesus to his followers to move beyond the polarities and politics of the “issue” and back to loving and serving people. Much of the church’s approach to the “cultural wars” is not of Jesus; a better way forward must be found. - Mike Erre Learn more about the VOX Podcast: www.voxpodcast.com Subscribe on iTunes - http://apple.co/1Lla1Nj Follow Mike on Twitter www.twitter.com/mikeerre Like Mike on Facebook www.facebook.com/officialmikeerre
