Hellbent on Healing: A Former Baptist Pastor Turned Queer Ally
from Q-MindBody Hosted by Darren Main
What happens when a fundamentalist Baptist pastor deconstructs his faith, walks away from evangelicalism, and becomes a fierce ally for LGBTQ people?In this episode of Q-MindBody, Darren talks with Brian Recker, former pastor and author of Hell Bent, about how fear of hell, Christian nationalism, and purity culture have shaped the spiritual trauma so many queer men carry. Brian shares his journey from independent fundamentalist roots and non-affirming ministry to becoming a public voice challenging the religious right, Christian nationalism, and the weaponization of “love the sinner, hate the sin.”✨ If you enjoyed this episode, please drop a comment, subscribe, and share it with someone who needs a little inspiration today.RESOURCESBrian Recker's Website: https://www.brianrecker.com/Brian on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/berecker?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==Read Hellbent: https://amzn.to/4iFxv7X✨Q-MindBody Resources & Community https://darrenmain.net/qmb-connectConnect with Darren Main https://darrenmain.net/followThe Gay Men’s Sangha https://www.darrenmain.com/gay-mens-yoga-sanghaQ-MindBody on GayWellness https://gaywellness.com/qmindbody-podcast
