This week the Jerry & Nathan Show switches gears and Nathan tells his story from childhood to becoming a pastor and a father of six kids. The episode captures the clutches that church life holds on the LGBT community and the longing for community and to be free from the "struggle' of being gay.

This episode contains stories of anxiety, depression and attempted suicide. If you need help please reach out to the national suicide prevention hotline at 988. Join Jerry and Nathan as they discuss part 2 of Jerry's story from college years up to meeting Nathan.

Jerry tells his story from birth to college and the influences of religion on his life. From the naivety of the real world that existed outside of church to the pressure of rules and restrictions, he brings a story to life of family, revivals, singing for Jesus, facing reality and beginning to find himself.

Join Jerry and Nathan on the first and third Thursdays of each month, as they tell their stories of growing up gay and coming out in the church. They will also be joined by guests that will share their own stories of life, love and surviving the church.
