"I Want You to Know Freedom," with Jennifer Knapp

Jennifer tells us her own story of publicly coming out in 2010 and discusses the burden placed on the LGBTQ community to disclose deeply personal information. She shares what she's learned in the process, that proximity breaks down prejudice, and stories allow us to understand that people aren't peculiar, but they are particular. Jennifer tells listeners that she fights to hold onto hope that we're in an age of liberation of the gay voice inside of faith communities. She concludes by encouraging the LGBTQ community, "I want you to know freedom. Come fly with me." Following Jennifer's talk, Jeff and Sarah discuss the assumptions we make, belonging inside and outside the church, and being a good neighbor (not just on special occasions).
