Pride Month Special: A Mother and Daughter's Journey of Love, Acceptance, and Faith in the LGBTQ Community

Join me in celebrating Pride Month with a heartfelt conversation featuring Ashleigh Nelson and her mother, Debbie. They openly share the story of Ashleigh's journey as a gay woman raised in the evangelical church. Hear the incredible story of how Ashleigh, now the executive director of the Evolving Faith Conference, found love and acceptance from herself, her family, and a faith community,  after decades of trying to deny an essential part of who she was. 

We also explore Debbie's journey as a mother - from facing her initial struggle with acceptance to becoming a loving and supportive presence in Ashley's life, Debbie's story stands as a testament to the transformative power of love and understanding. 

Tune in to our inspiring conversation as we discuss the importance of creating safe spaces for LGBTQ individuals in faith communities and don't forget to join us for part two next week, where we continue our discussion on healing, growth, and finding community.
