Joanna Whaley is a transgender woman who was an evangelical pastor for most of her career. When Joanna was outed by her church and fired for being LGBTQ, she began to advocate for the rights of all people to have access to faith after that moment. This show will be full of storytelling and discussing the experiences of LGBTQ people in faith.

HEALING AFTER - The Church and a Dark History
Today on the the Podcast we begin a special series. If you listen to the podcast for any time you will learn that I am a seminary student and today kicks off a four week podcast series that is part of my masters project. So get out your red pen and play professor and judge me harshly. Today on the podcast we are talking about the long dark history of the church and how it has affected LGBTQIA+ people throughout generations. We will begin to look forward to where we can go from here.
