| 4/8/26 | We are NOT the Resistance. We are the River! | We’ve been told for years: be the resistance. But what if that’s why so many people fighting for love and inclusion feel exhausted? Inspired by a talk from Glennon Doyle, this episode flips the whole idea: We are not the resistance. We are the river. The current of belonging has always been moving — widening across history no matter who tried to stop it. Our role isn’t just to argue or brace against the world… it’s to step into that flow, find our place in it, and live the kind of life th... | 15m 47s | ||||||
| 3/25/26 | Breaking Free from the Approval of Others | People can't give what they don't have, and many people simply don't have approval to give. But remember, this has nothing to do with you. When faced with the rejection and disapproval of others, it’s important to separate your well-being from someone else’s approval. It's just their opinion, and it doesn’t have to mean anything to you. It's not about your worth in any way whatsoever, it is about but their lack of approval, and the fears and false teachings that fu... | 22m 20s | ||||||
| 3/11/26 | Loving Queer Kids in a Hostile World | Loving queer kids today requires honesty: they are growing up in a world that actively questions their right to exist, to be safe, and to belong. In this episode, we speak plainly to parents, caregivers, and allies about what LGBTQ+ kids need — not someday, but right now — in a cultural and political climate that is increasingly hostile. We confront the real harm caused by silence and “good intentions,” challenge adults to move beyond private support into public protection, and name advocacy ... | 25m 11s | ||||||
| 2/25/26 | When “Just Disagreeing” Becomes Dangerous | “We can disagree and still love each other” is often framed as maturity or respect — but what happens when that disagreement puts real people at risk? In this episode, we confront how “just disagreeing” about LGBTQ+ lives, identities, and inclusion stops being neutral and starts becoming dangerous. We examine the real-world consequences of polite harm, the myth of neutrality, and the cost of silence when injustice is dressed up as belief or civility. This is a call to move beyond comfor... | 22m 33s | ||||||
| 2/11/26 | Valentine’s Day Isn’t for Everyone — And That’s Okay | Valentine’s Day can be beautiful for some — and deeply complicated for others. In this episode, we make space for those who feel unseen, pressured, or left out by traditional narratives of love. We explore why romantic love is often treated as the ultimate measure of worth, how that harms LGBTQ+ people and their families, and what it means to reclaim a broader, more honest definition of love. This is an invitation to opt out of shame, redefine belonging, and remember that your life, you... | 21m 22s | ||||||
| 1/28/26 | The Myth of "Traditional Marriage" and The "Perfect" Family | You’ve heard the false teachings. You’ve read the posts. You’ve seen the statements of faith declaring, “Marriage is between one man and one woman.” This episode is for every LGBTQ+ person harmed by those words — and for every Christian parent who affirms their child, yet still hears that sentence reverberating through their church, their family, and their faith. Let’s be clear: no one should believe the Bible condemns them — or their child — because of that claim. Because it isn’t biblica... | 21m 54s | ||||||
| 1/21/26 | The Myth of “Traditional” Values | You’ve heard it repeated by nonaffirming Christians and right-wing politicians: “traditional values.” But listen closely — and notice what’s missing. Honesty. Fidelity. Compassion. Justice. Kindness. So what are “traditional values,” really? Whose tradition are we talking about? From which era? From which culture? From which Bible — and whose Christianity? In this episode, we expose the myth of “traditional values,” how the phrase became a political weapon instead of a moral compass, and wh... | 24m 43s | ||||||
| 1/7/26 | The State of LGBTQ Lives: Where We Are, What’s Coming, and How We Love Forward in 2026 | As we step into a new year, we name the truth of this moment for LGBTQ+ lives and rights — without panic, without denial, and without losing hope. We talk about what’s happening now, what 2026 may bring, and how we respond with courage, clarity, and love. This episode is for LGBTQ+ people, parents, allies, and anyone who refuses to let fear dictate the future. We unpack the political landscape, the shifts happening inside faith communities, the fierce resilience of LGBTQ+ youth, and t... | 32m 03s | ||||||
| 12/17/25 | Do Christians know it's Christmastime at all? | This Christmas, we ask a haunting question: Do Christians know it’s Christmas time at all? When the loudest voices in Christianity celebrate the birth of Jesus while ignoring everything he taught — feeding the hungry, welcoming the immigrant, loving without condition — something’s gone terribly wrong. In this episode, we take an honest, sometimes snarky, always heartfelt look at how Christian nationalism and ultra-right beliefs miss the very heart of Christmas. We’ll talk about the hypocrisy,... | 10m 11s | ||||||

| 12/10/25 | Christmas Lemon Trees & Blackberries | Today, since Christmas is coming up, we will talk about lemons and blackberries. I know, I know – what does THAT have to do with Christmas? I want to tell you a couple of stories from my life that involved lemons and blackberries, and what I learned about abundance. At this time of year, when we all make our lists of things we want, and of things to give, maybe it is the perfect time to really understand abundance. This is going to be fun and sweet... cause, you know, blackberries! Yum. S... | 20m 11s | ||||||
| 12/3/25 | Jesus, the Stand-Up Comedian! | Was Jesus kind of a stand-up comedian? I mean think about it... A priest, a rabbi, and Jesus walked into a bar. Only Jesus recognized the setup for a joke. I never really thought about Jesus being funny or not. I mean, we’ve heard the stories 1000 times and... I usually smile at the funnier parts, but I never exactly said, Jesus is really funny! Then I found a little book that really opened my eyes. I will share that with you today as we talk about how funny, profoundly funny, Jesus was.... | 23m 22s | ||||||
| 11/19/25 | Transgender Day of Remembrance | This episode is different. It’s sacred. The Transgender Day of Remembrance is a day to honor and remember the transgender people whose lives were stolen by violence, hatred, and neglect. We wish we didn’t need a day like this. We wish the world were already safe and affirming for our trans family and friends. But the reality is, many lives are lost each year—and too often, those lives are ignored, erased, or dismissed. So today, we stop. We pause. We remember. We honor. Send us a ... | 10m 37s | ||||||
| 11/12/25 | What the Bible Does & Does Not Say About Transgender People | You are talking about this and then it happens: someone pulls out a Bible verse and declares that God is against transgender people. You’ve heard it from pulpits, from politicians, maybe from your own family. But, Beloved, here’s the truth: the Bible does NOT say what these people claim it does. In fact, what the Bible does say about this is actually fully affirming! So today, we dig in and set the record straight about what the Bible doesn’t say, what it does say, and why this matters so ... | 21m 15s | ||||||
| 11/5/25 | How Anti-Transgender Rhetoric Harms Everyone | Politicians and pundits have made trans rights one of their top wedge issues. They stir up outrage, and push legislation designed to divide, distract, and control. We’ve all seen it: bills banning gender-affirming care, bathroom access, policing pronouns, especially in state legislations. Leaders pushing them claim it’s about “protecting children” or “upholding values.” But, it’s not! This is about consolidating power through fear. And while trans people feel the sting of this, the ha... | 23m 44s | ||||||
| 10/29/25 | Is God Really Alfred Hitchcock?? | Let’s talk about God! Our favorite subject… Or is it?? It would be—or could be—if we hadn’t been lied to about God. Well, our job at FreedHearts is to make you feel better about God — or have no feelings about God, that’s fine. But what we DON’T want is for you to have bad feelings about God because they’re usually connected to bad feelings about yourself – and none of that is true! Today we tell you a story as a contrast to God—about Alfred Hitchcock. Hitchcock is known as the Master of ... | 27m 14s | ||||||
| 10/22/25 | Are Christians Following Paul Instead of Jesus? | Jesus’ message was clear: the kingdom of God is here and now. His anger burned toward those in power who oppressed the vulnerable. His focus was justice, compassion, and service — NOT personal salvation formulas. Yet so much of today’s theology on LGBTQ issues, sin, salvation, and authority doesn’t come from Jesus at all — it comes from Paul. So we ask: are Christians really following Paul instead of Jesus? Send us a private message. *Note: INCLUDE YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS if you'd like us to ans... | 24m 29s | ||||||
| 10/15/25 | Why Christians Don't Have to Be Afraid to Support LGBTQ | Today’s episode is a heartfelt message to non-affirming Christians — or one you can share with them. It’s a message of hope and courage: you do NOT need to be afraid to support LGBTQ+ people and same-sex relationships. Yes, the climate feels hostile. Yes, fear is loud. But truth is louder. Prejudice is crumbling. Walls are falling. Pastors are rethinking long-held beliefs. Parents are choosing their child over false doctrine. This is what faith is meant to be. Not about fear. Not about con... | 18m 43s | ||||||
| 10/8/25 | Is National Coming Out Day Different This Year? | Today’s episode is both deeply personal and powerfully relevant to the moment we’re living in. We’re talking about coming out — as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer — in a time when hostility and attacks are escalating. This isn’t just theory — it’s raw, real, and urgent. All of this in honor of National Coming Out Day on October 11th! Plus, we’re sharing a major announcement about a bold new chapter for FreedHearts — one we can’t wait for you to hear. This conversation is a... | 23m 54s | ||||||
| 10/1/25 | Fortifying Ourselves in Challenging Times | Last week, we talked about healing—the kind that doesn’t just change us, but changes the world. The healing that makes us more kind, more loving, more empathetic. But here’s the truth: while we’re doing this sacred work, there is a battle raging around us. A relentless stream of fear, attacks, and psychological warfare designed to wear us down, to make us give up hope. So how do we stand strong in the middle of all that? How do we keep our hearts from breaking under the weight of it? Today, I... | 28m 10s | ||||||
| 9/24/25 | If We Can’t Save the World, What Can We Do? | How are you doing? Many of us are wondering, with the barrage of news and developments, what do we do? Beloved, our job is really not to save the world because we can't do that, not in the way we think. So, what CAN we do? We can help save the world in a different way. We can do our own work and move ourselves into more spiritual openness and maturity, to grow and do the healing work that's inside of us to do. And that's no small thing! Collectively, that's the best thing we can do to ... | 25m 08s | ||||||
| 9/10/25 | Our 200th Episode! Fears of the Next Generation. A Special Visit with our Asher! | It's our 200th episode, and we have something very special for you! We visit with our Asher - the one who started it all for us, the one Susan talked about in her viral TED talk. Now a transgender man, with a transgender wife, and a child... what a journey it has been! We talk about that today, and especially about the fears of this generation. From the financial crisis to the housing crisis to COVID to the current administration to AI... their worldview and their fears have been deeply i... | 47m 08s | ||||||
| 8/27/25 | Affirmations. Do They Really Work? | Have you tried affirmations where you look in the mirror and say the things that you want in your life, or say the things you want to believe about yourself - and maybe gotten mixed results? You probably heard about the power of affirmations but in practice find the results not what you’d hoped. Why? We talk all about that today. If affirmations are real, if they have power, how can we make them work for us? Send us a private message. *Note: INCLUDE YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS if you'd lik... | 30m 30s | ||||||
| 8/20/25 | Simply Put: The Bible Does NOT Condemn Homosexuality! | Actually, it is NOT complicated, or confusing, or nuanced. It is really simple. The Bible IS clear: There is NO condemnation against people who are LGBTQ+ or against same-sex relationships. You are NOT the ones who need to defend your beliefs. The non-affirming church is. They ignore the truth of Scripture, and they ignore the devastating, deadly impact of their false teachings. In this encore presentation of one of our most popular episodes, we give you a clear, simp... | 40m 21s | ||||||
| 8/13/25 | Changing the Minds of NonAffirming Christians | What does and does not work when talking to evangelical Christians about LGBTQ issues? It can certainly be tough and frustrating. We are dealing with patriarchal, moral-majority driven false teaching. All taught with God’s name attached to it – and grave consequences if you don’t just fall in line. But we, like a growing number of people, were surprised when we opened that box we had God in. In this encore presentation, we talk about truly effective ways to change the ... | 40m 40s | ||||||
