Today on the show I process something deeply personal on the show. This weekend the church I worked for when I got fired for coming out as trans had a pastor get arrested for having a camera in a bathroom. The misguided anger at LGBTQ people was intense and on the show I process the emotions of dealing with this news of a close friend who did something truly awful. If you are a victim of clergy abuse please reach out and I will do my best to point you to resources you may need.

Today on the show we discuss the difference in spiritual tone of the Democratic National Convention versus the Republican National Convention. This week we all saw history with Kamala Harris taking the nomination of her party, but we may have missed the spiritual tone that asks a big question.
