John Herron: Gay & Christian

This podcast originally took place as a live stream recorded on 23rd January. It is a really important conversation on faith and sexuality with a dear friend of ours, John Herron.

 

John was a pastor in a conservative Pentecostal church for many years, he underwent so called “reparative therapy” which left him no less gay, but all the more isolated and living in a place of shame. That all changed when he was outed and faced rejection and abandonment from his church. 

 

This is a beautiful and powerful story of love conquering religiosity, shame and judgement. Mercy triumphs over judgement and John is a living testimony of that.
