Happy Pride Month!!! This week on the inclusive Couch, I have a guest! I interviewed Reverend Nikki Darlene Frontz, The Community and Spiritual Leader at Solomon’s Porch in Minneapolis Minnesota. We discussed Spiritual Health, Mental Health & Church Inclusiveness. We discussed therapy in relation to Faith. We explored the question: "Why we are doing this?" And, we discussed the work of holding space for all of those who want to practice their Faith.
