Shownotes

Through years of wrestling with his sexuality , including about 15 years of conversion therapy, Andre comes to a realisation; The grace and acceptance of Jesus that he would share with others as a pastor, was available to him too.

Join Dan and Jo as they continue the conversation with Andre and discover more about his journey to self acceptance as a gay christian islander.

Dealing with the societal stigma of homosexuality is hard enough, however it becomes even more damaging and dangerous when it gets conflated with culture and religion.

By being unashamedly visible, they hope that their stories inspires honest conversations in churches about the prejudiced and damaging beliefs that are often used against LGBTQ+ people who are seeking a safe space to practice their faith.
