Pepe Julian Onziema takes us on a journey through running from home, living alone, grappling with fitting in the church while different, and how the church's approach added pain to an already difficult situation. He eventually talks about his surgery and transition and how that impacted and changed his life.

Pastor Wa & Sammy introduce this episode reviewing the previous one while Pepe Julian Onziema continues with his story breaking down what the LGBTIQ community is comprised of and his journey from being aware that he was different to actually doing something about it.

In an interview that shocked the world, Pepe Julian Onziema was confronted by a Pentecostal pastor who was sneaked into a TV studio while Pepe was being interviewed on an Anti-Homosexuality bill in Uganda. He sits down with Pastor Wa in an engaging conversation on the challenges faced by the LGBTI community living in a constantly hostile world.

What is it about talking about being gay or homosexuality that triggers such visceral reactions in people? Can we even attempt it? Pastor Wa and Sammy introduce an upcoming series of episodes featuring stories of people from the LGBTI community and their faith.

What does a single woman do after following all the rules and living as expected by the church and community and then finds herself unable to find marriage or family as promised? This episode features a letter from Miss Kabindio who's grappling with an issue that's a source of real pain for older single women of faith. It's read by our special guest, my daughter Alexa Maya.

Carol and Pastor Wa sit down for an engaging conversation on her journey from meeting Christ in Primary school to deconstructing on a College campus in Cape Town, to finding a place in a small house church after being disoriented by corporate church and living out her passion for Social justice and Advocacy.
