Midge Noble
The church says we can‘t be Gay & Christian. Not True! Our faith journey stories are Powerful, Inspiring & Poignant. Music by Tim McLendon https://rb.gy/df2vim

She has published two children’s books, SHEBA, Home Is Where Your Heart Is, and ICE CUBE AWARD, Learning To Be Cool Under Pressure.

Midge specializes in helping her LGBTQIA+ community in their coming out and faith journeys. Her main focus is to stop gay suicides by educating people wounded by the church that they can be in relationship with the God of their understanding and that God does and has always loved us, just as we are created to be. To that end, Midge is very involved in her parish, The Episcopal Church of the Good Shepherd. Midge and her wife, along with their fur babies, enjoy spending time at their mountain cabin, hiking, and being with their friends.
On today's episode, I talk about how we may find ourselves challenging the lessons we were taught or the path we chose. We may feel a disconnect in our life, our relationship, our job, and/or our faith. What do we do? How do we move forward? I hope you get from this episode that you and whatever is feeling disconnected can stand in the questions and continue to be whole.

On today's episode I talk about feeling blah and ways to honor that and move forward. We can't always be 100% on fire and none of us are, so we are allowed to be present, not feel our best, but look forward to a brighter future.

On today's episode we look at being loving in this time and place where everything is polarized. I focus on a quote by Thomas Merton, who said in his book Thoughts in Solitude, "But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you." What does this mean for us and how can we walk and talk this today?

My name is Molly Downs-Stoller and I’m a gay, Christian, Marriage and Family Therapist who lives in San Diego with my wonderful wife Sue and our dog Sir Andrew James. I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Social Work from Point Loma Nazarene University and a Master’s Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of San Diego.
I became a Christian in high school after going to a Southern Baptist youth group and I have been involved with conservative churches up until the day I met my wife. Meeting her totally rocked my world! For years, I have heard preaching about homosexuality being a sin, however I found myself in love with a woman, and one who loves God. I didn’t understand how our amazing love for each other could have been a sin. Wow…I was completely wrong all of those years and I know without a doubt that God not only loves me but will never leave me.
The journey that we walk as LGBTQIA Christians can be a difficult one, however it doesn’t have to be a lonely one. I ended up losing my church, my best friend and my goddaughter, however I have never been happier or felt as free as I do now. I needed supportive/affirming friends and an affirming therapist to help me get to the other side of my loss and confusion and now I have the chance to walk alongside others.
I have worked in the mental health field for over 15 years and have seen the healing power of faith and therapy. I became a therapist so I could join others in the difficult stories and experiences in their lives and finding clarity and freedom in those places. I have extensive experience working with depression, anxiety, trauma and crisis intervention. I am also Level 2 trained in Internal Family Systems (IFS), as well as EMDR.
I am so truly blessed to be able to help people sort through what they believe in, how they see God, how they see themselves, and how God sees them. So let’s do this together!

On today's episode I look at our worthiness, who we are created to be, and how the word, PRIDE tells us why we can feel proud of our journey, our progress, and our right to be here. I invite you to listen to some words that can elevate your understanding of your sacred self.

On today's episode it is ALL about PRIDE! It is our month to celebrate, to remember, to push forward, to grieve, and to bolster our resistance! We have accomplished so much and yet our fight is not over. We are not done until all of us can say who we are not afraid to lose our lives, our spouses, our homes, or our jobs is we say that we are gay, or queer, or trans, etc. Let's party and show the world we are worthy of our equitable and equal rights AND the love of the God of our understanding.

On today's episode I focus on our memories that we may hold dear, those who have served our country, and memories that have created pain and a path not traveled. I open the door for our memories to be an inspiration and an opportunity to release the tethers and the shame. Then, we can give ourselves permission to soar.

On today's episode I explore how the outrage in our society right now is keeping us in an angry and toxic state. I explore how we can speak out, march, and feel the anger at late breaking news without getting stuck in that rage. I explore how grace and the philosophy of peaceful monks can keep us connected to the God of our understanding.

I explore how grace and the philosophy of peaceful monks can keep us connected to the God of our understanding.

On today's episode I talk about when our peace is interrupted by life, by executions, by fear, by any and all things chaotic. We, as a nation, are on high alert and it is affecting our mental health and our physical health. Creating times to disconnect is healing and healthy for our mind, body, and spirits.

On today's episode I talk about something that happened this morning in my neighborhood. It brought up feelings of uncertainty, safety, and how this current time in our lives may be creating an unease at crossing the road in our neighborhoods, in our lives, and our nation. It is so important for us to check out how the times we live in may be creating a withdrawal from how we really want to lead our lives.

Bill Hulseman Author Bio
Bill Hulseman is a writer, ritual designer, and former educator whose work explores identity, belonging, and personal agency. His debut book, “six to carry the casket and one to say the mass,” is a collection of deeply personal essays examining the identities we inherit, the traditions we navigate, and the power we have to shape our own narratives. Through reflections on family, Catholicism, and queer identity, Hulseman offers a nuanced exploration of what it means to carve out space for oneself in a world that often seeks to define us.
A former middle school principal, teacher, and campus minister, Hulseman holds degrees in religious studies, the comparative study of religion, and education leadership. His time in Catholic schools gave him both a profound appreciation for faith and a firsthand understanding of the tensions between personal identity and institutional tradition. His writing is informed by this background, as well as his deep love for pop culture—where figures like Madonna and “The Golden Girls” helped him see himself long before the world was ready to.
Hulseman now lives in Seattle with his husband, Jonathon, where he continues to write, design rituals, and lead meaningful conversations about identity, faith, and belonging. Learn more at BillHulseman.com.

On today's episode I explore whether we can be so polarized in our thoughts and beliefs to 100% think that we can determine what is good and evil. What if.... those we vehemently disagree with are just as broken as we feel? What if the perceived evil is just a cover for their own pain, despair, and fear? How would that change our soul and how we respond?

On today's episode I talk about how the God of our understanding supports us through our trials and when things get overwhelming. I know that God is always present and yet, in my humanness , I often lose sight of that and miss the God winks. I really do believe we are given what we need when we need it and it may not be exactly what we think we need.

On today's episode I talk about hope and how difficult it is to hang on when we don't see any evidence of things changing. I give a personal account of a time that my hope was waning and how that time in my life turned around. As a community, keeping hope alive and choosing to be our joyful and authentic selves is our own form of resistance.

On today's episode I talk about how we can speak with love and strength. I introduce you to, Argula von Grumbach, a scholar and Church reformer who spoke truth to power...boldly, wisely, and without shame. I focus on how we can mirror Argula's faith and Jesus' gospel by being a beacon for others to follow who we are still called to be: Christians who stand up for and speak love and truth to power.

Our love for our spouses, our lives, our love for ourselves, and our love for God is not for sale. God is with us during these challenging times.

On today's episode I talk about our state of happiness and why that is fleeting and overrated in comparison to our inner peace that is not affected by our outward conditions. Inner peace is where we can choose to radiate from even when the outside world is truly chaotic and scary. Tune in and join us as we claim our inner peace.

We are always in the sacred presence of the God of our understanding, through fear, dis-ease, and the dismantling of all we hold dear. Join me as we claim our own reality and celebrate that bad things will not last forever, especially when we lead with light and love, and never give into the darkness.

In today's episode I talk about how play is a key element in our ability to resist negativity and the chaos in the world we find ourselves in. We will look at ways to cope and still resist. A shout out to all our ancestors and Saints who suffered, survived, and still taught us how to have a joy within that cannot be extinguished.

In today's episode I talk about the difference between hope and belief. I try to answer the question of how do we pray when we don't feel as if we have either one? I reference a wonderful book on prayers that says the things that we are all feeling and does so in such a beautiful way.

In today's episode I talk about how to stay resilient in the current political nightmare we find ourselves trying to survive. I use Psalm 31 to mirror how we can journey with God during trials. We have the power within us to be the change we want to see...with the help of the God of our understanding.

In today's episode I talk about praying for our enemies! What?! Hear me out, ha ha. Seriously, as a follower of Jesus I know that my sacred responsibility is to love and I can't do that when I am raging at an individual or a group of people. I can stand up and resist, and yet, how do we stay in our sacred heart and walk the talk of Jesus while resisting? I offer a special technique that I have learned to radiate that sacred light to those whom we call, enemies.

Fran Leeman is the founding pastor of LifeSpring Church in Plainfield, Illinois. Along with his wife, Linda, and a few good friends, he has led this church for over 30 years. Fran is also the founder of New Life for Haiti. Fran's book, The Everybody Gospel, chronicles his journey from a conservative evangelical mindset to embracing a bigger and more beautiful God, a richer understanding of the gospel, and those in the LGBTQ community. In today's episode we go deeper into the journey of Pastor Fran and the congregation of LifeSpring Church as they thoughtfully and prayerfully dug deep into the clobber verses in the Bible to see Jesus in those sacred scriptures that seemed to exclude the LGBTG community. Pastor Fran's book, The Everybody Gospel is an account of their brave journey to step out of what they had been taught and allow the Holy Spirit to speak through the scriptures resulting in choosing inclusion of all God's children into their church.

In today's episode I talk about the sacred story quilts of our lives. What are sacred story quilts? How have the God winks in our lives affected us? Have we noticed? Are we God winks for other people? Is someone pulling us by puppet strings? Ponder with me today how we can be a source of compassion and kindness in a world that is oozing with hate as we are weaved into a the story quilts of all the people we meet along our way.

The good news is we can do easy things to release the stress, and invite health and happiness back into our routines, at least for a few moments. We can be the change for our own wellness.

In today's episode we stand boldly in community to dispel the darkness that surrounds us. I focus on how the light of Dr. Martin Luther King is on this very day on Jan. 20th and just like him and Baryard Rustin, we can stand in the light even with overwhelming darkness around us. We have the power to keep our inner light burning through this moment in history....because when this moment is over.... we will still be standing.

In today's episode I talk about how we can all be like Mary, the Mother of Jesus, in how we say yes to nudges from the Holy Spirit. This is the season of giving and what better way to go into the New Year than thinking about whether you have said, Yes, to a call from a nudging you have received or getting right now?

In today's episode I focus on love. I talk about the love of my life on our Holy Union Anniversary.... before marriage in our state and across the country gave our queer community the legal right to be marry. I also offer the cautionary truth that this 2024 election has our right to be married on the chopping block... once again. For now, let's celebrate love, let's celebrate soul connections, and listen in to the early days, read from my memoir, Gay with God, to how my beloved and I met.

When Abe Gurko packed his bags and moved from New York City to Hollywood, he wasn’t leaving a career in the fashion industry to chase the usual dream of becoming a movie star. “I wanted to be a mechanic to the machine called celebrity.” He cultivated his skill set working with arguably the coolest woman in Hollywood, Carrie Fisher and acquired an intimate knowledge of the writing process and had a front row seat to the business of show.
His first documentary Louder: The Soundtrack of Change airs on MAX, October 17 and he is in development on Wolf’s Song, a recently discovered piece of music written in a concentration camp as a song of resistance to the Nazis, that is being transformed into a clarion call for social justice today.
Abe is living happily ever after in La La Land with his husband, Shlomi and their dog Alfie.

Midge specializes in helping her LGBTQIA+ community in their coming out and faith journeys.

To that end, Midge is very involved in her parish, The Episcopal Church of the Good Shepherd. Midge and her wife, along with their fur babies, enjoy spending time at their mountain cabin, hiking, and being with their friends.
Today I focus on how my understanding of God has been skewed with a belief from childhood that led me to fear God. Do we need to fear God and is God angry and arbitrarily whacking us when we mess up? Today, I focus on comments and wisdom from the Bible Project Podcast regarding the Character of God and how we are active participants in our lives and our choices.
In today's episode I focus on the events of Hurricane Helene and the question many of us ask during times of devastating trauma, "Where Is God?" As a country is devastated and lives are lost and we know it will take a hard time to recover, where is God? How do we move forward and handle our own trauma? There is a special section of this podcast dedicated to anyone who has or is feeling suicidal. Please listen to the beginning of this podcast for my reflections.

Today we talk about how Jesus is always compassionate, patient, and supportive on our worst days just as he is on our best days. Peter, the apostle, shows us today how he can royally screw up time after time, and how Jesus demonstrates for us how he will treat us when we are like Peter! There is HOPE for all of us!

I give some facts on the 180 day playbook that we have heard about that is hitting the news channels and social media. Maya Angelou is credited with saying, "When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time". We need to pay attention.

We are at a crossroads of being erased or standing up and out (when safe) to support our community and our friends and family who are LGBTQIA+. We need everyone to be on the ground and in support of our right to be who we are and to support the message of equality and equity, not just from our hearts... also with boots on the ground and by the words we speak.

Matthew Roach (he/him/his) is from Hayesville, NC. Born and raised in the buckle of the Bible Belt, he was submerged in the culture of old fashioned, evangelical religion. All his life he knew he was not a straight male, but the leather lunged, mountain style preaching with hell fire and damnation imagery kept him in the closet, and ultimately led to years of suicidal ideation until he finally found the strength to accept his God-given identity. After confiding in a dear friend of 10 years, he was outed to the church, his family, and friends. As a minister of 8 years, a musician and worship leader since age 8- his coming out was met with intense resistance and ridicule.
Through all of the turmoil, the peace and freedom he now experiences has made the journey worthwhile, and he has a newfound excitement for the future.
Matthew is in healthcare, is currently studying Medical Sonography, and has plans to relocated after college, and become part of an affirming church in an effort to once and for all love people as God truly calls us all to love.

In this episode, I share a beautiful and provocative sermons by Lauren Kay entitled "Who Are the Least of These?" I am called to love, to love my enemies, to be what Jesus taught me to be...and yet...I fall short of that mark more and more as this political and national crisis is heating back up again during this election year. Lauren's sermon reminded me of what I am called to be and do and I believe it will resinate with you. Be LOVE and still fight the fight.

In this episode, I share one of my sermons with you, called Burning in our Hearts. In our walk with the God of our understanding, we are faced with difficult calls, choices, voices from our families, friends, and society. Sometimes we are faced with ridicule, hatred, and loss of family and friends because we are LGBTQIA+ and/ or going back to church. In this episode, you will find we are not alone with all the questions and uncertainties as followers of Christ.

In this episode, I explore how the greatest message that Jesus ever gave and we refer to as, The Beatitudes, is a call to challenge our walk through this divisively political time in our lives. Who are we called to be? What does that have to do with being a Republican, Democrat, or Independent? How do we bring our rebel Jesus to the polls, in our daily walk and in our every day lives?

What do we do with our traditions without the people or fur babies here that made those traditions so special? How do we move forward?

Tina Wood grew up in Knoxville, Tennessee and went to college at Boston
University. In her adopted home state of Rhode Island, she was involved
in successful efforts to pass several pieces of pro-LGBTQ state
legislation over the years, and also runs the email list for LGBTQ news
from Rhode Island. She has volunteered as a "search angel" who helps
adoptees, birth families, and others who are searching for family and
friends over the past several years. In 2018, at request of Kathy
Baldock and Ed Oxford, she was able to find Reverend David Sheldon
Fearon, who had written a series of letters challenging the translation
team of the Revised Standard Version on their usage of the word
"homosexual." Reverend Fearon's letters are discussed in the upcoming
documentary "1946: The Movie," and Kathy Baldock's upcoming book
"Forging a Sacred Weapon: How the Bible Became Anti-Gay."
In today's episode, Tina goes into detail how she found, the Reverend David Fearon, the seminarian who challenged the translation in the RSV Bible in regards to the use of the word homosexual. She talks about the movie, 1946 and how that was the year that the mistranslated word, homosexual, was added to the bible for the first time and has been responsible for religious trauma, abuse, and affected the mental health and lives of many queer people who have completed suicide attempts because of the mental anguish due to societal bigotry and religious pressures for us to live inauthentically.

On today's episode I talk about grace, being grounded, and dealing with the demands of the holiday season. I talk about ways to stay grounded and what may work for you while you are balancing your desire to be authentic and stay safe at home and at work. As always, I emphasize that perfection is not the goal, it is giving yourself grace in the effort and allowing yourself to feel the feelings that come up.

Award-winning and Billboard-charting artist Flamy Grant is a shame-slaying, hip-swaying, singing-songwriting drag queen from western North Carolina. Her 2022 debut record, Bible Belt Baby, was nominated for Best Pop Album at the San Diego Music Awards, and she is a winner of the 2023 Kerrville Folk Festival New Folk Competition. Both a powerhouse vocalist and an intrepid songwriter, Flamy blends the art of drag with her iconic folk/rock sound to create a memorable musical experience.
Flamy is the first drag performer to appear on Christian music charts, with both her song “Good Day” and her Album Bible Belt Baby reaching #1 on iTunes — the latter staying at the top for nine consecutive days. Additionally, “Good Day” debuted at #20 on Billboard’s Christian digital sales chart. Flamy has collaborated with Adeem the Artist, Jennifer Knapp, Semler, and Derek Webb. In addition to playing the New Folk winner's showcase at the 2023 Kerrville Folk Festival, she has played Wild Goose Festival in North Carolina, San Diego Pride's SheFest, and is headlining Blount County Pride in East Tennessee this September.
It’s no accident that Flamy’s drag name is an homage to Amy Grant, the undisputed queen of Christian music and 90s chart-topping pop artist. Much of Flamy’s music centers on the queer spiritual journey, telling stories of resilience and recovery from religious trauma in a world where LGBTQ+ people are frequently ignored by, harmed in, or ejected from religious spaces. With a bold lip, a big lash, and a blistering voice, Flamy drags audiences to a soulful, uplifting church of her own making. This down-to-earth diva has entertained music lovers from Los Angeles to Nashville with her funny, frank, and fabulous songs.

I am Dalton Wesley-Goins MacBeth. I was born in Cincinnati, Ohio and developed Cerebral Palsy shortly after birth due to being born at 27 weeks. I was raised in southeastern Ohio in two Pentecostal denominations: the Church of God (Cleveland, TN) and the Assemblies of God. As I grew, I was always curious about faith and started to discern a call to ministry after being baptized at five and starting to speak in tongues at 8. When I was fifteen, I moved to Nicaragua and served as Pentecostal missionary for a year during my senior year of high school. The next six years, I spent at Lee University (the Church of God college) studying a B.A. in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages, a B.A. in Theology, and an M.A. in Theology. During this process, I also became an ordained minister in the Church of God. Since 2018, I have had to wrestle with queerness, racism, Christian nationalism, and COVID-19 in a way that has led me to settle and seek ordination in the United Methodist Church. I am an avid reader, history butt, traveler, Cincinnati and Ohio State sports fan. Grey's Anatomy fan, and Swiftie!

We talk about Chapter 18, Broken Trusts and how that chapter was almost too emotional to relive. Midge's why has always been to save the life of any person who feels suicidal as they try to reconcile their faith and their sexuality. Midge emphasizes that she is not here to convert anyone but to let everyone know that she found her way back to the God of her understanding and invites others who want the same to know they are beloved by God and they too can be in relationship with the God of their understanding.

The Reverend Joe Mitchell has been the Rector of the Episcopal Church of the Good Shepherd since 2015 and was the first Priest, or any minister, in Randolph County, NC to hold a Pride Mass at our Parish . Father Joe has been active in the Diocese on the Liturgy Committee, the Prison Ministry Committee, and Mission Resource Team.
He is self described as “just your average Transformer-collecting, baseball-playing, theatre-loving, pop culture-referencing priest from the coalfields of southwest Virginia.”
I call him Father Joe and he is the one who allowed the Holy Spirit to move through him as she continued to pull me back into relationship with the God of my understanding. Father Joe is an amazing preacher, gaining online views from across the pond…. Shout out to Tracy, and he walks the talk of Jesus every day in everything he does.
Father Joe is adding to his repertoire in the Episcopal Church by answering his most recent call to become an Interim Priest at St. James in the Diocese of Central New York.

Susan and Judy Wilson
I am so excited to bring you this LIVE taping from the Wild Goose Festival. Susan and Judy Wilson lit up the Goose Cast and my heart as they told us a love story for the ages. They shared such courage, such love, and such hope. In these politically charged moments of our lives it was a breath of fresh air to remember that LOVE does not die and as a community we CAN rise up and refuse to go back into the closet!
Judy Wilson was born in the aftermath of WWII. Her dad had been a pilot and was in law school. He read case law to her, which she thought forever scarred my life choices. She was a military brat, the eldest of 5, and raised in the Presbyterian Church. Thus, Judy was a rule follower who could successfully negotiate division of an uneven number of cookies among her siblings.
When Judy went to college she met Anne, and learned that there was such a thing as sex between women, and beer is pretty good stuff. Judy decided she really wanted to be "normal" so she married a man, actually twice, and had 2 children. Judy met Susan in law school, and decided the heck with that being normal stuff. We were in classes and several organizations together, and fell deeply in love. We became a law school scandal, which was fun. (sarcasm implied.)
Thirty years later, we have had an incredible life together. We became very involved in the nonprofit world, starting a Family Visitation Center, where children could safely be exchanged by parents in conflict. We have been on several boards, mostly involving children's issues. I worked as a Guardian ad Litem attorney representing children in abuse and neglect cases. That was an amazing experience that allowed me to argue cases in front of both the NC Court of Appeals and the NC Supreme Court. My last job was with Legal Aid's Senior Law Project advising old folks like myself. Judy is now retired, spending an inordinate amount of time crocheting and buying yarn. We have 9 grandchildren and are actively part of their lives. Although my early church years left me with conflict about my sexual orientation, I have found a home in the Episcopal Church, specifically The Cathedral of All Souls, where we have attended since 1991. I am an usher, volunteer at the church office, and participate in Bible study.
Susan Wilson grew up mainly in Atlanta, Georgia and briefly in Germany and Buffalo, NY (which is why she knows- and I quote- “What Hell is like when it freezes over.” Susan has a Masters Degree and a Doctor of Jurisprudence, from the University of Georgia and a Masters in Journalism. Susan and Judy, her now wife were at UGA at the same time getting their Masters Degrees, and yet never met. It wasn't until several years later that they met in law school where they became the local legal community scandal their third year when they fell in love. Susan reports, “We are less a scandal these days than little old ladies in comfortable shoes who are very much still in love and extremely comfortable with each other.” Because of my lovely wife, we have two children and 9 grandchildren.
They have lived in the Asheville, NC area since graduating in 1991. Susan has worked for the County trying Child Support, Juvenile abuse, and neglect cases for about a decade before going into a domestic law private practice where she was also a Guardian ad Litem for both children and adults.
Susan ceased her domestic law practice in 2013 and switched to Elder Law - mostly Wills, and Powers of Attorney. Much of her Elder Law practice was pro bono through a couple of local legal aid offices. Susan stopped practicing law completely in 2022.
For the past 10 years, Susan has worked as an Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) Navigator through the Council on Aging of Buncombe County. They provide unbiased free help to people getting insurance through the Marketplace. Since we don't get paid by any insurance company, we can talk to people about all of the insurance options that are available and can help them complete the application correctly to minimize problems.
Along the way Susan has been one of the founders of two juvenile restorative justice programs and the Family Visitation Center in Asheville. Susan was also on several boards and served on the Asheville VA institutional review board (IRB) overseeing medical research projects.
Susan has always had a deep spiritual connection to the creator. When she was quite young, she told my parents that she played with Jesus up in heaven before she was born, reporting “I established a relationship with the Trinity before I was born.”
Susan grew up Methodist and switched to Episcopalian when she fell in love with her now wife, Judy. They journeyed with All Souls (also know as All Sorts) as it explored Human Sexuality and came to accept same sex relationships. Their current Priest is a lesbian so clearly, “we did something right!”

Lincoln University, "kicked me out for being trans and they sexually harassed me," said Kalie referring to Title 9 not allowing you to discriminate against people in the LGBTQ community. Her journey is more complicated due to 3 generations of ministers and the possibility that she was turned in by someone close to her. Also, she explains the plot thickens when religious organizations have a loop hole at their disposal for managing sexual harassment complaints. Connect with Kalie

In this episode I explore Unseen Grief, and how that impacts you if your beloved gets sick or dies if you are not out to family and friends. I explore how you can protect yourself from not being in the room or being powerless to make decisions for your beloved when families draw a line and try to exclude you.

Cody Lee Aulidge was born and raised in a small town just outside of Nashville, TN. He was raised in a lil ole southern Baptist church where Gospel music and “ole time religion” played an integral part in hisupbringing. Being a “Mama’s Boy”, he spent a lot of time around women. His best friends in grade school were always the girls, nurturing a feminine persona in him, causing a lot of bullying and them questioning his sexuality.
He came out as gay early on in high school. But after he began attending a fundamentalist evangelical pentecostal church, he ran back into the closet. He went on to travel and lead worship all over the southeast, California, and the British Virgin Islands with his Pentecostal Christian University’s worship choir for seven semesters, traveling, leading worship, singing with various worship teams, interning at churches, and working in ministry in various capacities for 11 years.
After making a big move across the country to help start a church, it was then time for Cody to come to terms with who God made him to be and now identifies as Pansexual. Cody lives in Wilmington, NC. He is working in real estate marketing and as a freelance health coach. He is involved in his community and has created an incredible group of affirming friends! He is pushing himself daily to learn more about theology and growing in his relationship with God. He is happy and knows that God loves him!

George was your average American kid born to traditional Middle Eastern immigrants. Curious about life but tortured by vicious bullying in middle school, he found what seemed like a solution: evangelical Christianity. It appeared to have the cure for his most “shameful sin.” Believing his homosexual feelings were an abomination before God, he committed his life to a church community that accepted him, conditionally. While hiding the scariest truths about him for fear of losing their love, he went from Bible study to Bible college, committing every aspect of his life to his faith – even forsaking important relationships “for the sake of the Gospel.” Little did he know that the steady trickle of relinquished identity would create a psychological dysmorphia that allowed his oppressors to keep him in dangerous isolation.

Nancy E. Petty began her ministry at Pullen Memorial Baptist Church in June of 1992. She has served Pullen in the role of senior pastor since 2002. Prior to being called as the pastor, she served Pullen as the Minister of Christian Education and Associate Pastor. As Pullen’s pastor her role is to function as the spiritual guide of the congregation, performing duties of preaching, teaching, counseling and visitation, to honor the traditions that have developed over the years at Pullen, and to initiate new traditions that capture the theology of Pullen and the spirit of the members. Through her role as Pullen’s pastor, Nancy is known as a community faith leader speaking out on issues of social justice, interreligious dialogue, and inclusion of the LGBTQIA+ community. She is chair of the Board for Repairers of the Breach, a non- profit organization that “seeks to build a moral agenda rooted in a framework that uplifts our deepest moral and constitutional values to redeem the heart and soul of our country”. She is a contributor to several books written on the Moral Monday movement in North Carolina and has been interviewed several times on Frank Stasio’s The State of Things, WUNC program. Nancy’s ministry has been recognized by the following awards: 2011 W. W. Finlator Award-Wake County ACLU; 2013 Women of Influence Humanitarian Award, Hannah Keith S.F. Inc.; 2014 North Carolina NAACP Minister of the Year Award; 2015 Human Relations Commission City of Raleigh Award; 2016 Champions for Children Award, North Carolina Foundation for Public School Children; and the 2018 Neighbor to Neighbor Award, As Salam Islamic Center, Raleigh, NC. In September 2019, The Center for American Progress listed Nancy as one of nine ministers to watch in our nation in 2019. She is married to Karla Oakley. Karla works in education reform and is often traveling with her work. They have two daughters (Jasmine and Nora), two cats (Tasha and Leo), and one spoiled Cavalier King Charles Spaniel (Louis). When asked what people should know about her, Nancy responded: “Tell them that I am blessed beyond measure because I get to pastor the best church in the world. Not because it is perfect – it’s not – but because the people are amazingly authentic and they truly care about making a difference in the world. Tell them that I love what I do and who I get to do it with. Tell them that I love people, I hate flying (but will board a plane when it means I get to extend Pullen’s ministry to other places), I collect old watches, and I deeply enjoy the North Carolina mountains. A relaxing day for me is
being at home with Karla and Louis with no agenda. But most importantly, I want people to know that what matters to me in life is having the courage to take the risks in life that help those who are struggling and suffering, and help me grow in compassion, grace, wisdom, and love for all God’s people.”

Bio:
Name: Earnest Graham
Age: a little past mid life
Identify as a gay male
I grew up in California and Wyoming.
I worked as a graphic artist and illustrator, and as a child wanted to be a comic artist.
During that time I got involved in the Episcopal church, and loved it. I felt called to ordained ministry and went to Virginia for seminary, and was ordained a priest afterwards.
I married an extraordinary woman, Shirley, who is also an Episcopal priest. We have a son, Evan. I served in churches in various parts of Virginia. I did return to my artwork- making graphic novel translations of the Bible. 3 books were published:” The Unlikely Chosen” which features the stories of Jonah, Esther and Amos; “the Parables of Jesus”; and “James- a letter to the Scattered. I have also done numerous other Bible comics found on my website.
I came out as gay in my early 40’s first to myself, then to my family. Shirley and I tried to make our mixed orientation relationship work for a time, but ultimately decided to separate and divorce amicably. We still care for each other and work together as parents!
I now live and work in North Carolina .
I am happily married to my husband Ed
We live in Charlotte NC with our two dogs
And I still do artwork.

Greg Walton is a dynamic Christian musician and speaker with a mission to foster the love of Christ through prayer, word, song and, above all, belonging.
Greg’s mission, which began with participation in his vibrant church choir and soon grew into writing contemporary Christian music at age 15, has provided many unique opportunities to share his message of love. He earned his bachelor’s in music education at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and went on to teach and direct music in the Chicago area. During that time, Greg performed his music locally until he caught the interest of Nashville industry professionals. After landing an artist development deal, he moved his young family to Tennessee; from the late 90s to early 2000s, he toured full-time as keyboard player for the Dove Award-nominated band, Polarboy. One of the hardest working Christian bands at the time, Polarboy performed 150+ events a year including Creation Festival, Kingdom Bound and Cornerstone with headliners like Amy Grant, DC Talk and Newsboys. As a token Catholic performing in mainstream Christian music, Greg found himself playing everywhere but the Catholic Church. He left Polarboy to focus on accompanying young Catholics. In 2005, he began composing contemporary liturgical music for OCP's Spirit & Song division beginning with his songs "King of My Heart" and "We Are His People," while leading retreats and programs for the young church. This work has taken him all over North America, Europe, Africa and includes two World Youth Days. Greg’s independent modern/rock alternative projects have received a total of 10 Unity Awards from the United Catholic Music and Video Association.
Greg’s motto, “go where love leads,” is especially evident in his 2020 OCP release, “Eyes on the Cross.” He resides in Spring Hill, TN with his wife and college sweetheart, Mary, where they do their best to keep up with their kiddos. In addition to composing, Greg serves as the Electronic Evangelization Coordinator at St. Philip Catholic Church, Franklin and leads worship at Church of the Nativity, Thompson Station.

Hi! It's Midge, the host of the GAY with GOD! podcast and the owner and coach at Empowering Awakened Hearts, LLC.
My Faith Journey has been a bit desperate. Seeking God, desiring to know God, feeling worthy to be God's Beloved, and forever seeking God's favor.
I really could have just taken a breath. How was I supposed to know that a calling to build a church in India, was not a calling to serve, but perhaps to just be loved.... by God.... just because.... I had always been Beloved by the God I sought.
Enjoy the show!

Pastor Chester also enjoys ministering as an ally and advocate for the LGBTQ+ Community and their families who have been misjudged and ostracized from many houses of worship. His mission is to demonstrate how the Bible has been misinterpreted and therefore misunderstood in regards to what are referred to as “clobber” verses.

In addition to “The Gospel Memory Course” and a series titled: “God Loves the LGBTQ+ Community, Pastor Chester also has a YouTube series on the book of Revelation and a variety of other biblical topics.

Show Note: To hear JP's first appearance on GAY with GOD!, search for Meet Jackson "JP" Rose, May 2nd, 2020.
Hi, I'm Jackson. Some people call me JP. I'm 43 years old and originally from upstate NY. I was assigned "female" at birth but I knew by the age of 2 that I was "in the wrong body." I insisted that I was a boy- at home and at school. I was put through conversion therapy at school but they never called it that. I was told it was a club for a select group of kids. I was forced to wear feminine clothes growing up as well as keep my hair long. At one point, I even had to make a promise to "only date men" in order to live at home.
I grew up not attending a church. In 2006, when I was 27, I moved into my own apartment and I started attending a non-denominational church. I was immediately treated differently because I was a "girl" that dressed like a guy. I had short hair and always wore khakis and polo shirts to church. After moving to North Carolina in 2012, I felt more comfortable being myself. The first church I attended was also very restrictive so in 2014, I found an inclusive church. I know God had a hand in putting me here- in NC and in this church. In 2020, I transitioned to male and I don't regret it at all. My church, the pastors and the congregation, have loved and accepted me unconditionally.
I'm hoping that telling my story will bring more awareness of what it's like to be transgender and that not only does God not make mistakes, but that He put me on this Earth, just as I am, to help people understand that being LGBTQ+ is not a choice. We were born this way!

He currently works as a full-time bartender and part-time pastor along the Alabama Gulf Coast. Josh grew up in north Alabama where he attended conservative, evangelical/fundamentalist Southern Baptist Churches. When he was a teenager, his disillusionment with the hypocrisy of people in the church led him to declare himself an atheist. While attending Maryville College (a PCUSA affiliated school in East Tennessee) Josh discovered his faith again and at 26, was baptized into the PCUSA church. Following a 11 year teaching career, Josh answered the Spirit’s call to ministry and attended Princeton Theological Seminary where he earned his M.Div. and M.A. in Christian Education (emphasis in Ministry with Young People). He was ordained in the PCUSA in 2015. In his 13 years of ministry, Josh has served as a Volunteer Youth Director in Houston, a Director of Children, Youth, and Family Ministry in New Jersey, a solo pastor outside of St. Louis, and now is the part-time pastor of Open Table United Church of Christ in Mobile, AL.

If you want a chance to get a signed copy of my memoir; join the GAY with GOD! Facebook group and add your own idea for a subtitle. If I and my publisher agree with your suggestion, you will win a signed copy of my book!
Today, I talk about a time that I went camping with "Mary," my beloved's memoir name, and her family to Grayson Highlands State Park. Not only did I learn that I can run through storms on a very steep trail, but I also learned that God doesn't just reside in church for everyone.

In this episode, I give you a glimpse into the upcoming Memoir; GAY with GOD! I tell you about a time I went to India, to test my calling to be a missionary.
I really believed when I was little, that serving God as a missionary would help me get to heaven.
The problem? As if there is only one with that theory! I signed up without my dad's permission!

The NEW Report re: January 6th
Mother Julie attended college and law school at the College of William and Mary, in Williamsburg, Virginia, receiving her undergraduate degree in business administration in 1980 and law degree in 1983.
Following law school, Mother Julie joined the Army as a member of the Judge Advocate General’s Corps, serving as a prosecutor at Fort Devens, Massachusetts, and at Walter Reed Army Medical Center. She also served in the Office of the Judge Advocate General at the Pentagon, specializing in medico-legal and constitutional law. After leaving active duty, Mother Julie worked as a consulting attorney at the Federal Aviation Administration and for a private consulting firm.
Although raised Roman Catholic, Mother Julie began attending an Episcopal church in 1986. In 1999, after years of active lay ministry, she entered the discernment process in the Diocese of Washington. She was ordained to the diaconate in July, 2003, and served as deacon at her home parish, Holy Trinity, Bowie. After her graduation from Virginia Theological Seminary she was called as Assistant to the Rector at St. Barnabas’ Episcopal Church in Upper Marlboro, Maryland, where she was ordained to the priesthood in June 2004. After four years at St. Barnabas’ and feeling ready to serve as a rector, Mother Julie accepted a call to St. Thomas à Becket Episcopal Church in Morgantown, West Virginia, where she served for 8 years.
Unfortunately, life took a hard and difficult turn for the Murdoch family in February 2012 when one of her sons, Christopher, was in a catastrophic car accident. As a consequence of the accident and Christopher’s grueling hospitalizations and lengthy recovery, Mother Julie was later diagnosed with severe PTSD. In consultation with her bishop and her therapist, and after much prayerful discernment, Mother Julie decided that she needed to leave active ministry.
Following a time of rest, and restoration, and realizing God still had work for her to do, in late 2017 Mother Julie accepted her first call as an interim rector, serving Christ Church, Fairmont, as the parish recovered from a time of conflict and change. In late 2018, Mother Julie moved with her husband, Scott, and Christopher to Pittsboro to be closer to her two sisters and mother, who all live in Chapel Hill. She then served as interim associate rector at Emmanuel, Southern Pines, from November 2019 through August 2020, and is currently serving as interim priest-in-charge at Good Shepherd, Asheboro, during the rector’s medical leave.
Mother Julie has been married to Scott, a retired Army civilian attorney, for over 35 years. They have three sons: Travis, Christopher, and Morgan.

Kathy Kirkpatrick grew up in the church and served in many capacities; choir director, lay preaching, bible study leader, and then, she lost her emotional connection to God. What stayed was how Christian music still heals her soul when she is in despair. To hear Kathy's Coming Out/ Faith Journey story on a previous GAY with GOD! episode, search for Kathy Kirkpatrick July 12, 2021 on the show page.
Today, Kathy talks to us about advocating for our basic LGBTQIA+ rights by getting involved with our local government, volunteering with our Democratic party, and VOTING consciously in all elections.
Our rights are being seriously challenged and disregarded by the Florida Bill that became Law; Can't Say GAY. Kathy cautions us that this is a grave time for our community and our future.
Kathy is adamant that, "We can make it better, and we need to make it better." Kathy believes that the recent legislative efforts in Florida and other states can erase all rights for our LGBTQIA+ community and other minority groups if we stand by and do nothing.
Kathy is a retired middle school principal, and the current chair of the Democratic Party of Guildford County. She and her wife have raised two delightful kids and a menagerie of dogs and cats. She now spends her days gardening, refinishing furniture, and volunteering.

According to her wife, Rev. Gina Harvey, Sharon is failing retirement, filling pulpits as a guest preacher across the front range of Colorado, and into Wyoming.

Midge's Memoir: GAY with GOD! Finding Grace Through My Doubts, Anger, and Fears
Dale Lykins is the founder of The Open Table, a non-institutional open and affirming religious community. After a thirty-year career leading traditional churches, he realized that his own values and beliefs no longer aligned with those of his church organization. He stepped out of what was known and comfortable to embrace an authentic life.
Helping people to welcome the change needed to live truthful lives that are aligned with their core values is the purpose of his blog The Unlearning Blog. Dale grew up in an evangelical conservative Christian environment where people who were different were shunned and attacked. Fearing that he too would find himself on the outside, he became afraid to use his voice and share his views.
At the age of fifty-five, Dale came out as gay. He could no longer deny the reality that had been sloshing around inside of him all of his life. After thirty-five years of marriage to a straight woman with whom he raised two daughters and shares two grandsons, Dale and his wife decided to stay married. They have been living successfully (although not always easily) in a mixed orientation marriage.
Dale mentors and coaches other men who are also living in mixed orientation relationships, all of whom are from evangelical Christian church backgrounds.
Dale’s effort in this work and in all of the facets of his life aims to help others discover what in their lives is holding them back—whether it be relationships, societal norms, institutions, careers—in favor of living a truer, more meaningful life. His journey provides insight to help others navigating the path of merging their inner belief with their outward life.
Dale lives in Cincinnati, Ohio with his wife.

Jeremy is an amazing soul. Although emotionally crushed while working with a corporate business, and struggling to find his place in the world, something divine happened. Jeremy found his authentic self.
That came at a price as his attempts at coming out did not go well. He was hurt by the church and by a beloved family member. He tried to please others until he realized that he had an inner calling that he had to follow.
To find his authentic path to be a Spiritual Leader, Jeremy would experience many "No's" and some very scary "HELL yes's." Jeremy realizes now that life is not a destination and he can embrace his own journey.

Stacy Morataya-Pilkington is a catalytic leader and champion for the voiceless. Amidst and among the scorching heat, the faux sparkle and gaudy excess of Las Vegas, a true phoenix was born. A survivor of domestic violence, Stacy began her young adult life escaping abuse, with a two year old on one hip, a one year old on the other, and nine months pregnant. As their special needs emerged, her drive and rigor brought her to new opportunities and challenges in serving her young sons. She burst out of the closet at the age of twenty-two, with three young boys, and charted their journey toward safety and prosperity. Stacy’s tenacity and resolve were the impetus for a career in hospitality leadership, that has spanned both coasts and led her to Maui, as an executive leader at one of the world’s most prominent resorts. Through the years, the mental health concerns of two of her children became overwhelming. Stacy’s unwavering love and perseverance was tested in the broken systems of pediatric psychiatry and the underdeveloped special education system.
In 2018, after a grueling and horrific battle with alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma, her son Ryan passed away at the tender age of nineteen. Stacy’s mission is to uplift ad enlighten, illuminating the dark, shameful corners surrounding mental health, domestic violence, poverty, female leadership, and grief. Some families are made stronger through trials and tragedies, while others fall apart in cataclysmic ways. Stacy speaks truth to familial shame and the toxicity of enmeshment.
She lives with her wife Mirza, and their three giant dogs in beautiful Wailuku, Maui. Exploring peace, forgiveness, empowerment, and inspiration, join the phoenix on her journey.

Joey honored us with another hour to go deeper into his life, trauma he has experienced, and insight into his deep hatred for God. This is a must hear for anyone who has been through or is in the weeds of doubt and fear. You may find it helpful to listen to his previous podcast: Meet Joey Cromer!
I do offer a trigger warning with this episode. Joey does talk about a trauma that may resonate with your own experience.
Joey (Joe) Cromer is a 45 year old recently separated man who grew up in the Pentecostal/ Southern Baptist Churches. Since his early youth he has gone through education and self exploration and now identifies as Agnostic.
Even though he identifies as Agnostic, he speaks of God and believes that, "God, He or She, is too big for one book and probably bigger than all the books every written."
Joey goes deeper today into his trauma, his belief that he was abandoned by God, and then in the end, talks about the seed that was planted in him and knows that he is the one that has to make it grow!
We both, Joey & I, got all the feels out of this conversation. I hope you find your own resonance with it as well.
Joey (Joe) Cromer. He is 45 years old, recently separated. Joey grew up in The Pentecostal/Southern Baptist churches, but since his early youth he has gone through education and self exploration and now identifies as Agnostic. He was a 90s club kid! He reports that he came from a broken home, raised by a single mom. He reports that he was avoided by an emotionally deadbeat sperm donor.

So she met and married a man but eventually divorced realizing that she was indeed gay and that God loved her as she was. It is her favorite kind of work to walk with people at the intersections of spirituality and identity. Nothing fuels her soul more than conversations about the soul!

Joyce began the journey of coming out to herself at 9, out to the world at 19, and finally, out as a comedian at 49! Out as a Christian? The whole time, with occasional tweaks in denomination, faith tradition, and world-religion exploration. She shares the message of God’s love being meant for ALL people.
As a librarian she helps people fill information gaps and provides access to accurate information. She currently works with an organization promoting First Amendment education, and advocacy, and promoting the freedom to read for librarians, authors and publishers, educators, and patrons.
As a comedian Joyce presents the overlap of faith, GLBT identity, music (she’s been known to pick up her violin during a set), and parenting. She began performing with The Mother Cluckers in April 2017 and believes that social justice through humor can take place in local bookstores, classrooms, over meals, in our churches - basically in any conversation or space!

Sara Cunningham is an author, activist, and founder of the non-profit organization Free Mom Hugs. Her journey is a surprising one that began in conservative Oklahoma, when her son, Parker, came out as gay. As a woman of faith, Sara wrestled with the news until she began to study, research, and reconcile the two worlds. This journey resulted in her book How We Sleep at Night. She found herself on a journey “from the church to the Pride parade,” falling in love with the LGBTQIA+ community. In the wake of beautiful glitter-covered hugs and heart-breaking horror stories, the mission of Free Mom Hugs began. Simple acts of love and acceptance turned into a viral sensation, and Sara knew she had the opportunity to lead impactful change.
Free Mom Hugs is now a movement across the country and the world. Sara goes Beyond the Hug to educate and advocate organizations of all types including schools and businesses striving for safe and protected spaces. She has appeared, many times with her son Parker, on the Today show and The RuPaul Show and spoke at the 2019 GLAAD Awards. She also has been featured in many national publications including The Washington Post, Woman’s Day magazine, and People magazine. Sara is currently in partnership with Jamie Lee Curtis, who has purchased the rights to her book and will release a movie based on her story. An upcoming documentary about the Mama Bears movement by award winning director Daresha Kyi also features Sara and the Free Mom Hugs movement
Sara’s passion is to change the perspective of the outside world toward this beautiful part of our community so that we as a society, not only learn to affirm, but more importantly, celebrate. Her goal is to help parents and children have authentic relationships and understanding for each other using her own experience and education as a guide. Sara is passionate about connecting with faith, civic, and business leaders in efforts to make the world a kinder, safer place for our LGBTQIA+ family. She is gifted at inspiring others to join her in this movement that is sweeping the nation and the world.

Katrina Kalb is the Social Media Manager & Program Director at Free Mom Hugs. She studied Sociology & Psychology at the University of Oklahoma.
Katrina participated in an After Viewing LIVE Event following the documentary, PRAY AWAY on Netflix in August. That is where I first virtually met Katrina and had seen her video from a parking lot urging people to watch this documentary; PRAY AWAY, and learn how our churches treat and/or support the LGBTQIA community.
I was deeply moved by Katrina's video as she openly revealed that she left that parking lot to attempt suicide for the second time. That is when, I knew that I had to have Katrina on the GAY with GOD! podcast because her story saves lives and saving lives is my only purpose behind starting this podcast.

Just about everyone here has a story about being hurt by the Church. Mine is no different, so I don't feel the need to re-tell the tale. The bottom line is, the Church rejected me. It hurt.
I came to realize it was the Church that did this, not God. I began my Spiritual Journey, traveling through the New Age camp and then back around to Christianity. Now I consider myself a Zen Christian, on the path to enlightenment by the power of the Holy Spirit, redeemed by the Lord Jesus Christ, serving a God who is Not in a box. In 2020, I went through the Dark Night of my Soul, and came out of the shadows knowing that I had a mission to love and serve my fellow beings. I make plant medicine, herbal skincare products, and low-intervention wine. I teach and preach that we are to love each other, forgive each other, and not judge each other. I strive to walk and live by the examples He set for us. Namaste Connect with DJ! Facebook

Ellyn desired at the age of 8 to become a nun. She was raised in the Catholic faith and later as a Non Denominational Christian. Her path of enlightenment and spirituality has taken many forms including Wicca, Kemetic Spirituality, different styles of Buddhism, Nam Myoho Renge Kyo chanting, meditation and the Penultimate; the Order of Divine Reality which she later realized was a cult. Through voracious reading and a commitment to honor her own Divine Path, Ellyn went on a search to find her Guru; which she did in 2002. Her Divine Light shines through as she talks about fear, racism, being intersex and losing family members when she came out to them. Ellyn is committed to live her life in love in relationship with God as the Divine Mother.

Mark Shore grew up Presbyterian. He attended an 'evangelical' church in college where he first learned about the ex gay ministries and was told that "if you haven't acted on your 'same sex attraction' then it isn't an issue and you just need to find one woman you love." Mark did find someone to love and was married for 17 years and had 4 kids. During the 17 years of marriage, Mark was secretly reading and attending talks on dealing with my 'same sex attraction'. When his wife found out, the divorce happened quickly and Mark chose to be celibate and participated in 5 years of ex gay ministries, therapy sessions and experiential conversion therapy weekends trying to appease God, his ex wife and kids. His depression and suicidal thinking grew stronger. Finally, Mark realized that all that teaching was all false and believed that, "I've done everything possible to be straight, and it didn't work." He is now happily married to his husband, who works as a nurse practitioner at the local hospital. They live on a beautiful farm that his husband grew up on in Virginia with goats, a beautiful river, and an amazing 35' Labyrinth that Mark built himself.

Ryan Joseph Allen is an Author, Transformational Coach, and Speaker sharing his life experiences, vast nonprofit expertise, and ultimately ……leading leaders. Ryan authentically shares his story to inspire others to share their stories.
Ryan has navigated the nonprofit sector by cofounding, founding, and acting as the Executive Director for various nonprofit organizations. His goal is to LEAD the LEADERS and show others how to impact the community and world through kindness, acceptance, and love!
Currently Ryan is working on wrapping up his memoir titled, “My Drug Dealer Brought Me To God.” Ryan is also about to start his dissertation process for his doctorate work from Xavier University bridging the gap between the LGBTQ+ and spirituality communities with a focus on post traumatic growth from religious trauma for LGBTQ+ identifying community members.
A significant gap exists in the LGBTQ+ community and organized religion. This leads to much higher rates of addiction, abuse, mental health issues, and ultimately suicide.. Through authentically telling ones story Ryan desires to close the gap and to assist others in finding hope.
Ryan traversed opioid addiction, severe mental health issues, and suicide. His drug dealer made this journey possible by helping him reconnect with his true version of God. In order to share his story more widely 15 hours of his recorded memoir is being turned into a physical book, ebook, audiobook, workbook and a raw podcast. Through this work Ryan is closing the gap by bringing together those in the LGBTQ, mental health, spiritual/religious and recovery communities.
Ryan believes these communities benefit from the love and guidance…. formally through the workbook exercises and informally through learning from Ryan’s story how to love and accept themselves.

Mike Rickard is a singer/songwriter who calls Atlanta, GA home. Mike grew up in church, went to a private Christian school from kindergarten until graduation, went to bible \college, sang contemporary Christian music...then came out.
After coming out, he attended church for several months, but ultimately stepped away because the messages he was hearing didn’t resonate or accept who he was all along. He also stopped singing for several years, thinking, "What do I have to sing about?" Turns out, a lot! And that's when he began writing music...to tell stories.
Through all of the changes in life, music has been a constant, whether listening, writing or performing. Mike says, “It has given me so many wonderful moments, and maybe even helped save my life. Music can make us laugh, cry, dance, escape, deal with the issues in our lives. And if I do it right, I will hopefully help you do these things depending on the day and the song.”
Mike has released three full-length records and one remix EP. His latest, Out Loud, was released in 2018. He is married to his husband, Eric. They met in 2000 and married in early 2020. Their kids are furry 4 legged dogs and cats whom through the years have been much loved.
