GAY with GOD!

Bill Hulseman Author Bio

Bill Hulseman is a writer, ritual designer, and former educator whose work explores identity, belonging, and personal agency. His debut book, “six to carry the casket and one to say the mass,” is a collection of deeply personal essays examining the identities we inherit, the traditions we navigate, and the power we have to shape our own narratives. Through reflections on family, Catholicism, and queer identity, Hulseman offers a nuanced exploration of what it means to carve out space for oneself in a world that often seeks to define us.

A former middle school principal, teacher, and campus minister, Hulseman holds degrees in religious studies, the comparative study of religion, and education leadership. His time in Catholic schools gave him both a profound appreciation for faith and a firsthand understanding of the tensions between personal identity and institutional tradition. His writing is informed by this background, as well as his deep love for pop culture—where figures like Madonna and “The Golden Girls” helped him see himself long before the world was ready to.

Hulseman now lives in Seattle with his husband, Jonathon, where he continues to write, design rituals, and lead meaningful conversations about identity, faith, and belonging. Learn more at BillHulseman.com.

Midge specializes in helping her LGBTQIA+ community in their coming out and faith journeys. Her main focus is to stop gay suicides by educating people wounded by the church that they can be in relationship with the God of their understanding and that God does and has always loved us, just as we are created to be. To that end, Midge is very involved in her parish, The Episcopal Church of the Good Shepherd. Midge and her wife, along with their fur babies, enjoy spending time at their mountain cabin, hiking, and being with their friends. 

On today's episode I explore whether we can be so polarized in our thoughts and beliefs to 100% think that we can determine what is good and evil.  What if.... those we vehemently disagree with are just as broken as we feel?  What if the perceived evil is just a cover for their own pain, despair, and fear? How would that change our soul and how we respond?

On today's episode I talk about what promises Jesus made to us for our life on earth without him.  In today's world, a promise is not always forever or even true.  Our relationship with Jesus and the God of our understanding is something we can believe in and rely on which is life sustaining.

On today's episode I talk about how the God of our understanding supports us through our trials and when things get overwhelming.  I know that God is always present and yet, in my humanness , I often lose sight of that and miss the God winks. I really do believe we are given what we need when we need it and it may not be exactly what we think we need.

On today's episode I talk about our higher callings and how very often that higher calling has nothing to do with serving God in the church.  What feelings come up for you when you are called to do something that you feel unprepared to do?

On today's episode I talk about hope and how difficult it is to hang on when we don't see any evidence of things changing. I give a personal account of a time that my hope was waning and how that time in my life turned around. As a community, keeping hope alive and choosing to be our joyful and authentic selves is our own form of resistance.

On today's episode I talk about going through tough times, waiting for results; whether it is health related or world related, and trying to be patient while we wait.  Some of us are not patient and I explore how patience and faith combined can be helpful during the wait.

On today's episode I talk about how we can speak with love and strength.  I introduce you to,  Argula von Grumbach, a scholar and Church reformer who spoke truth to power...boldly, wisely, and without shame. I focus on how we can mirror Argula's faith and Jesus' gospel by being a beacon for others to follow who we are still called to be: Christians who stand up for and speak love and truth to power.

On today's episode I talk about how to renew our souls versus staying in a reactive state against all things that create fear, hurt, and anger  in us.  Being the change we want to see is a sacred journey that we are all being called to walk.

On today's episode I talk about our love for the God of our understanding and not give it away in these troubling times.  We don't have to fear that this political climate can take our God from us. Our love for our spouses, our lives, our love for ourselves, and our love for God is not for sale.  God is with us during these challenging times.
