FreedHearts
Freeing hearts to love and be loved! Love. Inclusion. Affirmation. Susan Cottrell is the Mom of two LGBTQ+ children; the founder of FreedHearts; an international speaker with a viral TEDx talk; a pastor and theologian; an acclaimed author; and a fierce advocate and ally. In her unique tender, relatable style, Susan is a prominent voice of unconditional love and lavish inclusion. Powerful, authentic, and relevant in today’s society, Susan has a lot to say. The Advocate calls her their “Favorite Affirming Matriarch.” OutSmart magazine calls her "The Mother of all MamaBears!" Reverend Ashley Harness from Auburn Seminary says, “Susan has this fierce, loving, don’t mess with me, Mom vibe.” If you have been excluded, or if someone close to you has been excluded because of who they are or who they love - or maybe you have been the one doing the excluding - the FreedHearts podcast is for you. Join Susan, along with her husband Rob, on the journey. You are not alone. Welcome home!

Being the Dad of LGBTQ+ Kids
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This is a very special episode for Dads of LGBTQ+ kids - or about your Dad, or about the Dad of someone you love.
Today, I talk about the core issues unique to being the Father of an LGBTQ+ child.
I’ll give some tools you can use to understand your kids, deepen your relationships, expand your faith, and deal with non-affirming friends, family and especially those at church.
Dads, it’s just me and you today. Bring your fears, bring your hearts, and let’s talk.
