I am back for another solo episode reflecting on the last few interviews and sharing updates about the podcast and the Patreon page. I delve into the impact of the Pulse nightclub crosswalk removal as an example of minority stress within the LGBTQ community. Additionally, I share about the Safe Religious Spaces event and the significance of Christ's empathy for sexual violence survivors. And finally I conclude the episode discussing my amicus brief for the Supreme Court case regarding conversion therapy.

I sits down with his friend Emily Blaylock, Outreach Coordinator for Palm Beach County Victim Services, to have a conversation about sexual violence in faith communities.

We share stories, reflect on personal experiences, and preview the upcoming Safe Religious Spaces Panel, an event bringing together clergy, therapists, and advocates to equip faith communities in responding to sexual violence with wisdom and care.
