LGBTQ & the Church, Part 1 – Understanding the Transgender Conversation Artwork

Untangling Faith

Talking about Christianity can be an overwhelming minefield to step into. It's just so tangled up with all our ideas, opinions, and emotions. You don't want to stay the wrong thing, offend anyone, sound stupid, or be accused of not being faithful enough. This is why many people never talk about religion in mixed company.

But Rev. Laura Hutchinson and Rev. Tammy Jackson aren't afraid of any of that. They understand that theology is a conversation between people of faith who are just trying to get closer to the truth about who and what God is. And it's in the conversation that things become UNtangled.

As a pastor who has ministered to people who are transgender, Laura shares insights into the challenges trans individuals face—especially in faith communities. What does it mean to honor someone’s identity? How do we move beyond fear and misinformation to a posture of love and understanding?

Whether you’re wrestling with your own beliefs, supporting a loved one, or simply trying to engage with this conversation in a more informed way, this episode invites you to listen with curiosity and compassion.
