Love Should Not Make You Small: Religious Trauma, Gay Identity, & Unconditional Love (Ep 4)

Love should never make you feel small, yet for many, religious trauma and family expectations demand exactly that. In this raw conversation, David reveals the suffocating silence of growing up gay in a religious home and a moment of self discovery on the Oregon coast that felt like drowning.To counter the pain of conditional love, Alice shares her vision of a faith that does not demand perfection. Together, they explore the power of unconditional acceptance and why we must thank the people who hurt us for teaching us exactly who not to be.
