In today’s episode of Staying at the Table we continue the conversation with Rev. Sophia Foutres, we pick back up where we left off talking about Sophia’s college years and her introduction to an evangelical faith while coming to terms with her identity as a gay woman. We discuss toxic and damaging religious ideologies used against the LGBTQIA+ community and Sophia’s journey of hearing Christ’s love and acceptance of her, releasing fear and shame, and coming to the point of accepting herself and her identity.
