Matt Glover on rejection, reinvention and connection

Since childhood, Matt has found a deep sense of spirituality and connection beyond the walls of the church. For many years he was a pastor, seeking to help others experience the same. For Matt, loving, including and affirming LGTBQI+ people was an obvious aspect of Christianity. Not everyone else saw it that way though, and Matt ended up facing a significant cost for his stance on inclusion. Matt’s story is both harrowing and inspiring. And whilst you would never wish Matt’s experience on anybody, it’s his own personal experience of religious trauma that plays a big role in the work he does today, supporting survivors of spiritual abuse and trauma to experience healing. Get your tickets to our upcoming Spiritual Misfits LIVE events: SYDNEY, May 13, Newtown Missionhttps://events.humanitix.com/poems-for-when-the-world-is-ending-spiritual-misfits-live-sydNEWCASTLE, May 28, The Rogue Scholarhttps://events.humanitix.com/poems-for-when-the-world-is-ending-spiritual-misfits-live-newcastleMELBOURNE, June 10, Full details coming shortly!Sign up to receive the Sunday Message:https://spiritualmisfits.com.au/Join our online Facebook community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/spiritualmisfitspodcastReach out to us by email: [email protected] Want to reach out and let us know your thoughts or suggestions for the show?
