The Kinship Collective with Mark Fields

24. Katie Distelrath - How Can I Be Gracious To Myself?


Listen Later

We have all been through so much clarifying life in 2020 and 2021.  We have woken up to new values or woken up away from harmful beliefs or harmful relationships.  Some of us may find our selves facing the seemingly catch 22 decision of disappointing the people around us who we love... or worse, disappointing ourselves who we long to love.  With this in mind we sat down again with Katie Distelrath, a Gay Christian Therapist, to dive deeper into her story of making the very difficult decision to break off the engagement she thought she wanted to be true to an awakening queer identity.  We reimagined Jesus word's from Matthew 5 about "loving our enemies" from the perspective that sometimes we perceive parts of our own experience or identity as the enemy and maybe Christ invites us to graciously love those places within our selves.
