  • Phenomenal Hope for trans people of faith

    This podcast is a Godsend. Faith can be such a mixed bag for queer people, especially trans people. Even if we are blessed enough to be accepted, very rarely are we the focus of the messages and theology. This podcast is full of bold and beautiful queer people with wonderful insight on their religions and faith journeys. I would highly recommend it to any queer person of faith.
