My conversation with Bill Hulseman dives into the heart of his memoir-in-essays, Six to Carry the Casket and One to Say the Mass — a powerful exploration of family, faith, queerness, and the complicated legacies we carry.

Bill talks about what it means to grow up in a world that both shapes you and wounds you, and how loss, love, and truth-telling helped him rebuild his sense of self.

If you’ve ever wrestled with identity, belonging, or the weight of family storylines you didn’t choose, this episode will meet you right where you are.

In this episode of For Love of Memoir, we meet Jeanne Krieg, author of Seeing Red: A Misfit’s Unapologetic Search to Be Used by God—a raw memoir of spiritual restlessness, unexpected break-through, and a misfit’s search for purpose.

Jeanne’s story begins with a prayer in the middle of a moment she couldn’t handle—and leads into audacious healing, strange hauntings, and the deep clarity that comes when you realize your calling was waiting on the other side of the pain.

We talk about:
• Growing up feeling like you didn’t belong in faith spaces
• The moment a desperate prayer brought an unexpected wave of peace
• How bizarre experiences forced her to rewrite the narrative she was living
• The cost and freedom of being a misfit called by God
• Why healing sometimes looks like being broken and rebuilt

If you’ve ever wrestled with faith, identity, or the truth that you’re not built to fit someone else’s mold—this conversation will speak straight to you.
