The Rev. Pepa Paniagua is a pastor, New Worshiping Community leader (Kin·dom Community), and co-founder of Kin·dom Camp. She has a beautiful and tender story to tell of the significance of community, the exploration of one's own identity, and pride.
In part one of our conversation, we talk about the founding of Kin·dom Camp as an intentionally safe environment for LGBTQIA+ youth; the importance, and challenge, of doing so in a place like Texas; and how the camp's focus on freedom gives young people the chance to explore the complex landscape of identity.
