  • Unlearning Holy Harm: Healing Religious Trauma & Building Affirming Faith Communities

    Unlearning Holy Harm: Healing Religious Trauma & Building Affirming Faith Communities
    2026/09/07

    Our first guest, Pastor Alex Sheppard-Witt, joins us in discussing healing holy harm, also known as religious harm, and building affirming faith spaces. While this episode focuses on Christian faith spaces we feel it is applicable to a broader range of settings. What healing looks like is up to you. What building affirming faith spaces looks like is up to you. Here we provide some guidance, some ideas, and our experiences to help faith communities choose active allyship and building affirming spaces. Thank you for being here.
