Show notes

This episode examines evangelical Christianity from the perspective of lived experience in a candid and reflective manner. The kind that stays with you, shapes you, and sometimes leaves scars. We are talking specifically about what evangelical Christianity has meant for queer people, and for queer Africans in particular. The silence, the shame, the conditional love dressed up as salvation. This is not an attack on every evangelical Christian or every church. But it is an honest conversation, and honest conversations are not always comfortable. Pull up. Let's talk about it.
