Next up this month is the rising topic of Social Media Algorithms! Guesting this week is The A system. 

The A System, recently surfacing on the social media platform TikTok, is a Dissociative Identity Disorder System of 29 alters. This includes Chris, the host and 28 others. They took to TikTok only a few months ago to share their story with the world and continue to help break the stigmas surrounding DID. Several alters have very large roles in the life that they all share. Asher, the self-proclaimed “best alter”, is an emotional protector in the system. He currently manages the social media accounts for The A System, along with Chris’s wife, Sam. Between the system and their spouse (though she married Chris, the system recognizes her as the spouse of the body) they have over 2mil followers on TikTok. A little over a month ago they decided to branch out to YouTube and have quickly gathered a subscriber base of over 30k.  As they continue with their collective mission to educate others about DID and break the stigmas surrounding it, they also look to expand their platform to include Twitch in the near future.

Welcome back to JFS In Conversation! This week, we're continuing our talks of Queer social justice with Greg Thompson from the podcast Out Loud, joining us to talk about the interconnection between the Queer community and the church. 

Greg Thompson loves using storytelling to open up conversations, particularly in the LGBTQIA+ community. After years of video and audio editing for faith organizations, Greg pursued his Master of Theological Studies at Vanderbilt Divinity School. There, he researched storytelling techniques for honoring LGBTQIA+ spirituality and fostering more deeply connected communities. He has since turned his attention toward the queer community with his podcast, "Out Loud: LGBT Stories of Faith," which launched in 2018. Each season, guests share their experiences with religion, whether they continue to attend church or not. The show's sign-off, "Queer people have faith lives, too," has become a somewhat of a mantra, in the hopes that all people can see the divine in one another.
