What happens when the faith that raised you no longer has room for who you are?
In this episode, Justin Jasiewicz shares his story of growing up in a conservative Christian household where patriotism and purity culture walked hand-in-hand with theology. From Christian schools to Capitol prayer gatherings, faith was everywhere—but so was fear.
Justin reflects on what it means to grow up gay in a world that told him love had conditions, and identity came with strings attached. Through humor, honesty, and some well-earned grace, he explores the long process of untangling God from the systems that used God's name.
This is a conversation about spiritual survival, chosen family, and what it means to stop trying to fit yourself into spaces that were never going to give you life.
