Ep. 23 - Mormon Fetters VS. Peacock Feathers w/ Brad Harker

from Growing Up Christian · host Casey Greseth

We've all heard the phrase "living well is the best revenge," but one of the most important and encouraging things I've learned over the past few years is that living well makes the most compelling case for change. If changing hearts and minds is your goal, you've got to show the other side how green the grass is where you're standing!   Brad Harker grew up in a tightknit Mormon community in Australia. After decades of repression, he came out as a gay man, and was determined to serve the community that he felt he had betrayed for so long. Over the years, Brad has become an influential voice in the LGBTQ+ community, and especially among previous Latter Day Saints members. He organized a group called "the Peacock Mormons," which advocates for broader acceptance of minority communities within the LDS church. Brad's optimistic message of love, tolerance, and hope for a better future is a breath of fresh air, and we had a great time talking to him!   Big thanks to our buddy Luke “Slam Dunk” Wilson for joining us for the intro! Check out Ep. 12 - Conversion Therapy Speed Dating to hear his story.
