Reconstructing after Evangelicalism
Episode description
As individuals who love and celebrate the queer people in our lives, we are very aware that their journey to accepting themselves is not always an easy one. There are lots of intersections that come together to make every journey unique, and yet we find common threads. Today In the Den, Jen visits with Mike Maeshiro about his experiences coming out as gay, deconstructing evangelicalism, healing from religious trauma, and helping others to do the same.
