What do you do when the word ‘gay’ becomes true for you in a world that told you God would “fix” you? Mike Maeshiro's story hits deep for so many of us who grew up evangelical

I’m grateful he shared his story
So we can honor what he carries
so we can care for our neighbors

Are you allowing yourself to be taught by pastors AND Bible Scholars? Do you know what the different atonement theories are? Or were you only taught PSA?

What happens when a Catholic + a Protestant sit down to learn from each other? 🤯

This moment w/Ike Ndolo⁩ was special to me- it's so cool when you can see something through the eyes of another.

Biblical scholarship blew my mind.

The Christian faith is messy + complex. Wrestling with scripture is ancient — and it’s allowed. You owe it to yourself to wrestle with it. The Sacred Slope is here to help you.

Dr. Jennifer Garcia Bashaw, Bible scholar, Christian, is about to blow some of your minds. 🤯

Did you know inerrancy + literalism aren’t ancient Christianity? They’re 1800’s ideas.

This is not a black-and-white book.

This is a clip from Alexis Rice's powerful conversation with Mike Maeshiro - ex-Evangelical Pastor and we’re talking about what would’ve changed if church had been safe.

We can do better as a global church — and many already are.
Become a place of welcome, not shame.

If you grew up LGBTQ+ in a non-affirming church — this clip may be healing, but trigger old wounds.

Bishop Guðrún Karls Helgudóttir - Head Bishop of Iceland - models what repentance, repair, Christian love can look like when the church stops policing & starts listening.

🎙️ “Finding joy through the hard work of deconstruction.”

Ex evangelical pastor, author, and coach Mike Maeshiro @mikemaeshiro.bsky.social reminds us that freedom isn’t found in pretending everything’s fine — it’s found in doing the work.

It is not only okay, I think it's even important to question our faith, question God, question everything. Because if we don't do that, the faith is blind.

I think it's a part of growing as a person...to ask these questions.

🔥 Ever wonder why Christian Nationalism is idolatrous — not just politically dangerous, but spiritually oppressive to others who don't share the same lens?

Rev. Gerlyn, an Indian-Canadian Anglican priest breaks it down with the best real-world example I've ever heard.
