Cat and mouse. Awakenings. Baptism. This week on Girl Found I begin to realize I’m different, we talk about baptism, and the game of cat and mouse begins. I also interview Zoe Parsons on her balance of religion, awareness of social issues, and identity.

Coming out. Childhood. Religion. I tell the in medias res beginning of my story, and interview my wife Caroline on what life looks like right now, her religious experience, and her favorite read at the moment. I’m so excited to share this new podcast with you on my exploration of queerness, cults, and growth.
