Can members of the LGBTQ+ community be Christian music artists? That's the question I tackle with Grace Baldridge, as she releases an EP under her artist name Semler, called "Preacher's Kid". We talk about growing up in the evangelical church system, sexuality, and what it means to be LGBTQ+ affirming.

This podcast is timed with the release of her EP, so here are some ways you can go check out her music!

*audio note - there are a few glitches in the audio around 43 minutes into the conversation. It's not a problem on your end - it's on mine!
