Join me as I chat with Lynn Discenza. Lynn will tell us about her journey as a trans woman in the Catholic Church and her ongoing conversations with everyone from her local Priest all the way up to Pope Francis. After our brunch, we discuss her own journey of self discovery, the fight she's making within the Church, and why she stays a Catholic. She's an absolute delight - thought-provoking and genuinely funny.

I know you'll enjoy it.

In this first episode of the series, I speak with Erika and Candace Hardnett, Elder and Pastor of Agape Empowerment Ministries, two remarkable women who share their journey of LGBTQ+ affirmation. I was able to attend a service in Savannah, GA and then, after having brunch together, we discuss their journey as well as how they created an affirming, international ministry in polarized times.

I was especially fascinated by their discussion of the de-colonialization of scripture as well as how they handle the many members of our community who have experienced religious trauma.
