Why stay Christian after being hurt by the church?
In episode 3 of The Inclusive Faith Podcast, Kade Rogers and Dr. Gregory S. Neal discuss the painful experiences that challenged their faith—and what kept them connected to Christianity and ministry.
Greg reflects on decades of ministry, hiding his sexuality, and fearing the loss of his credentials. Kade shares his experiences of rejection, threats, and losing a career path while hoping for a more inclusive church.
Together, they consider the people, communities, and acts of care that continue to give them hope: feeding neighbors, supporting families, and helping LGBTQ+ people hear that God loves them.
This conversation makes room for the harm they experienced and the reasons they still find meaning in following Jesus.
