Episode 10: Willow Sipling

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, host Stephen Stanley speaks with Willow Sipling. Willow is a public policy sociologist focusing her research and writing on organizational ethics, religious fundamentalism, and conversion therapy. Willow also serves as a nonprofit leader at OutCenter Southwest Michigan and is completing a PhD at Western Michigan University.  Willow grew up intersex and trans in a conservative religious household, and through her spiritual journey visited on many different faith traditions.  As she navigates her path, she highlights the significance of critical thinking and the need for inclusive spaces within religious contexts. The conversation culminates in a discussion about the broader implications of faith, identity, and the ongoing fight for acceptance and understanding within religious institutions, ultimately advocating for a more compassionate and inclusive approach to spirituality.  It's a fascinating journey that I know you'll enjoy. To learn more about check out her website here: https://willowsipling.com/To follow this podcast on social or learn more, check out our linktree here.  Please drop me a line on social media, or email me at perpetualbrunch (at) gmail.com.  I'd love to hear from you!More on this podcast...
