In this segment, we respond to a viral video from a young Black queer woman wrestling with deep church hurt and the question of belonging. We unpack how theology, not aesthetics, determines whether a church is safe—and why sexual orientation and gender identity are not sin issues but human rights issues. This conversation offers clarity, compassion, and permission to seek spaces where your full humanity is truly welcomed.

This segment was livestreamed during the first half of a podcast episode titled, "Who Are You Without The Pain?" in the TFC Virtual Patreon.
