In today's episode of Shift Happens, Joe talks to one of his old youth ministry students Emily Boyer.
Emily talks about growing up in a very conservative area of Missouri, attending Joe's youth group the first time and growing up queer but not recognizing until later in life.
Emily grew up in a supportive household and yet, still experienced internalized homophobia from growing up where she did.
