    Episode 14 - Alex Hernandez

    "Every difficult thing that we go through ends up being someone else's survival guide." Alex is a FTM transgender man who lives in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. We have been friends for such a long time, and seeing him come into himself over the last several years has been a beautiful thing to witness as his "big sister" and friend. We've supported each other through so many changes, and there has been an incredible amount of healing in his life and in his family since he started his transition. Join us as he tells us all about it.

    Episode 13 - Andrew Godfrey

    "For every single hardship that is yet to come, and for every single hardship that you have been through, there will always be one person who is in your corner." This conversation with Andrew about being openly gay and openly Christian is the reason why I started this podcast in the first place. Join us as we both tell you about our negative experiences in the Christian church as openly gay people, the ways that we have been able to overcome church trauma and find our identities with Jesus, and hear the heartwarming last words of acceptance from Andrew's mother before she passed away of breast cancer.

    Episode 12 - Stevie Burger

    Stevie Burger is an openly gay (and PROUD) Jewish woman living in Portland, Oregon. She was very fortunate to have parents who supported her sexual orientation from the beginning, even though coming out in a Catholic school (as a Jewish person) was anything but easy! I really enjoyed sitting down with her and hearing the ways she loves herself, and the ways her family loves her too.

    Episode 11 - T. P.

    “I’m growing every single day to love myself a little bit more, and I think that eventually I’ll love myself enough to say I’m tired of hiding even just a portion of who I am. If you can’t love me for all of me, then that’s on you. That’s a choice you’ve made, and I don’t feel sorry for it.” We're back, everyone! And what a great episode to celebrate this wonderful homecoming! Join myself and my friend T as they tell us about their traumatic Christian upbringing, and their coming out story that brought them unfortunate and negative consequences. If you would like to be interviewed for this podcast, please email "areyoutheregodpodcast@gmail.com" - I always need more people willing to share their stories!

    Episode 10 - Jayce Rivera

    Jayce and I had a great conversation about what it's like to be transgender in a community where it's looked down on, and about the unconditional love of Jesus. Listen as he tells us about his upbringing in a strict evangelical church, discovering that he didn't identify with the body he was born in, saving up for top surgery, and learning how to live authentically while also loving God.
