As ideas came up for these sections, I'd revisit whichever caught the inspiration...2022-03-2324 min
My Gay Church DaysSPECIAL GUEST - Eric FeltesSo often, we are taught to process information in binary thinking. This usually leaves us wondering what is the correct answer - there must be a right and wrong answer, no? For those who have experienced the traumas of religion, we find binary thinking comforting. It allows us to think of our worlds as black and white, good and evil. Unfortunately, this practice negates the complexity of life, sometimes bringing us to a choice between a rock and a hard place.
Eric defies these norms. His faith and sexuality have inspired so many, and I am so fortunate to have h...2022-03-161h 18

Through my evolution after leaving Evangelical Christianity, I started off being wildly tormented by thoughts of eternal damnation. As I started to press harder into discovering my desires and identity, I evolved into the space of being comfortable with the unknown. Once deathly afraid, the concept of "not knowing" has been one of my closest and best friends. I take pleasure in learning more about the human condition and peace in knowing that we have power in the things that are not known.
