Join us as we listen to Susie's story as she comes out as bi in her evangelical Christian community, where the church is her family. She shares the ups and downs of living in the tension of accepting herself and holding onto her faith.

I want to say how much I appreciate both you and Nate!! I am 61 years old. Listening to your stories is listening to parts of mine also. This is so needed! ❤

As a 37 year old I'm only half out, still haven't told my dad, and I live in a small town so if I tell anyone or put it Facebook it will get back to him, so, you're doing way better than me! I get the shame but keep going!

I love both your stories I am going through the same thing but I am in an African household and it’s kinda hard to be honest but I guess I just have to stay positive and trust the process

I really appreciate you both for allowing others to see your vulnerability, as someone who was outed young and decided to walk away from faith. now in my 30s as a lesbian trying to build my relationship with God the fear of not being accepted for who I am has isolated me for quite some time. Your stories have helped in so many ways. those constant thoughts that my faith is not worth keeping for the sake of my lifestyle, I know can have a more clear understanding who I am and who God chose me to be are no different.

you are doing a wonderful job of creating the space you just described........a space to be able to show up honestly and messy and still be loved. I am grateful to have found this space.

LOVING this podcast. I too grew up in the evangelical church in the 90s and early 2000s. I tried to be cisgender and was deeply involved in my church until eventually I stepped away from everything when I was 18. Feeling suffocated by it all, I needed to not only find myself, but find GOD for myself. I started my gender transition journey during those 10 years away from it all and thank God I spent that time finding myself. flash forward to today and I'm the happiest I've ever been (albeit quite honestly the loneliest I've ever been, but that's another story I think more related to being a millennial, but also related to being transgender and a follower of Christ). I have a successful career and I'm growing in my faith and walk with Christ everyday. I'm not exactly where I want to be yet, but thank God I'm not where I've been. Not once have I ever been "struck by lightening" or had a feeling in my gut that who I am is wrong or that I am less loved by God. Thank you so much for doing this podcast. ❤
