Welcome back to JFS In Conversation! This week, we're continuing our talks of Queer social justice with Greg Thompson from the podcast Out Loud, joining us to talk about the interconnection between the Queer community and the church.
Greg Thompson loves using storytelling to open up conversations, particularly in the LGBTQIA+ community. After years of video and audio editing for faith organizations, Greg pursued his Master of Theological Studies at Vanderbilt Divinity School. There, he researched storytelling techniques for honoring LGBTQIA+ spirituality and fostering more deeply connected communities. He has since turned his attention toward the queer community with his podcast, "Out Loud: LGBT Stories of Faith," which launched in 2018. Each season, guests share their experiences with religion, whether they continue to attend church or not. The show's sign-off, "Queer people have faith lives, too," has become a somewhat of a mantra, in the hopes that all people can see the divine in one another.
