Laura Jean Truman

from Exvangelical Hosted by Blake Chastain

My guest this week is Laura Jean Truman. She blogs over at her blog, In/Between, which can be found at laurajeantruman.com. Laura Jean and I talk about her life, how the way we view our past changes over time, her experience being queer in a non-affirming church, and why she remains engaged with Christianity. It's a great conversation. My audio is rougher b/c my mic didn't record properly. Sorry. Read Laura Jean's blog In/Between at laurajeantruman.com, and follow her on Twitter @laurajeantruman.
