Episode Details

I sat down with Chris Dowling to hear his story of loosing his job after coming out, why he still stays religious, how he lives out of the fruits of the spirit, and his upcoming two-year anniversary of being married.

To connect with Chris and hear more of his work, make sure to follow him on Instagram and Facebook.

To support interviews like this, consider supporting my work on Patreon and gain early access to new episodes: patreon.com/gaytradspeaks. I have Simon Kent Fung (creator of Dear Alana), Justin ('EmptyChairsHome' on social media), and a number of other guests lined up to be on the podcast.

The goal of this podcast format is to to hear stories of people at the intersection of queer identity and religion. I've shared plenty about my story and my own thoughts on my main channel, but I wanted to create a second channel dedicated to hearing others' stories - remaining in the church, leaving the church, finding a more accepting denomination, etc. Hopefully these stories can give you more of a perspective and help you make decisions for your faith journey.

If you'd like to be on the podcast, feel free to reach out - contact info is on my channel, or send me a DM.
