Welcome to "Coming Out Christian," a new podcast from LOVEboldly hosted by Siobhan Boyd-Nelson and the Rev. Dr. Ben Huelskamp, exploring the tensions of being Queer, Christian, and Progressive in the 21st century. Fun, faithful, and sometimes irreverent, the podcast seeks to uplift the often silenced voices of people who find tension being Queer in Christian spaces and Christian in Queer spaces, while representing the radical teachings of Jesus.
"Season 1, Episode 2 - We Persist" - Today on "Coming Out Christian," Siobhan and Ben welcome Raphael Davis-Williams for a conversation on persisting and fighting for one's faith. Raphael, Director of Equity, People, Inclusion, and Culture for ACLU Ohio, is a dedicated community leader and advocate in Columbus, OH, and beyond.
You can find Raphael on social media - @RaphDDub (Facebook and Instagram). Here are links to the organizations he mentioned:
- Kaleidoscope Youth Center - https://www.kycohio.org
- Black, Out, and Proud - https://www.blackoutandproud.com
Queerie of the Day - "What is one aspect of your childhood or early faith that persists today?"
Music written and produced by Shay Nelson (@shaytheserialhobbyist).
