Many LGBTQ people face overwhelming challenges in navigating faith, gender, and sexuality. Author and speaker Bridget Eileen Rivera joins us to talk about the harm and pain that LGBTQ Christians have experienced in the church, and how churches can develop a better pastoral approach.
Bridget’s book is Heavy Burdens: Seven Ways LGBTQ Christians Experience Harm in the Church.
You can connect with Bridget on her website (Meditations Of a Traveling Nun), or on Twitter.
