This podcast values the powerful wisdom of lived experience and has helped me better understand people I love. I always leave feeling deeper compassion for our human experience and desire to love and create more belonging in my community.
I’m convinced that I was led by the spirit to listen to this episode with McKay. It was exactly what I needed to hear this week. He very articulately put into words the things that have been in my heart. So grateful for your courage and vulnerability in sharing your message. You’ve made a lasting impression in my life.
Thank you Richard for taking the effort to do this. It’s been so helpful for me as I navigate LGBTQ and the Latter-day Saint faith for my family. Bless you.
This podcast is super helpful and understanding to all. Richard has on amazing guest with great stories. He has amazing empathy and listening skills. This podcast will continue to impact many lives!
I love this podcast. Listening to people’s stories helps me to Learn to see them as people to be Loved, not as problems to be fixed. Hearing other people’s stories also helps me to understand myself better, and to feel more connected and less alone. That’s so important to me as a queer Latter-day Saint
