About this listen
In this episode, Aaron Kelly and Ben Nicholson dive into the raw, emotional journey of coming out as LGBTQ+ while rooted in faith communities.
Trigger warning: This episode includes discussions of suicide, reflecting Aaron’s struggles.
Aaron opens up about the intense challenges of coming out as a gay man in evangelical Christianity, including dark moments where he contemplated suicide. Ben shares his path, navigating the phase of coming out and finding safe people.
Together, they offer wisdom on preparing to come out, finding affirming allies, and managing community rejection. Their honest, heartfelt chat, sprinkled with humour, lights a path to authenticity for anyone feeling torn between faith and identity.
