Faith & Spirituality: “That may be your God, but that’s not mine.”
About this episode
The episode explores the intersection of faith, spirituality, and LGBTQ+ experiences through personal stories and reflections.
Calling all sinners, saints, and heathens to the front pews! This week, we're sharing our thoughts, stories, and unanswered questions about faith, religion, spirituality, and experiences beyond explanation. Growing up gay and religious wasn’t exactly simple. Some of us found comfort in church, others felt pushed out of it, and some of us cherry-picked what worked, then sashayed away. But whether it came through stained glass windows, gospel music, meditation, a near-death experience, or flying purses (?!)… spirituality found its way into all of our lives at some point in time. From Catholic theatrics and sparkling church outfits to guardian angels, spiritual awakenings, and one very specific prayer for an endowment… let’s just say the spirit moves in mysterious ways.
