In today's episode, you'll hear Meg and I talk about: 

  • why church folks need to let go of our need to appear righteous
  • refocusing how we use our privilege
  • what aspiring allies to the LGBTQ+ community need to know when starting that journey
  • how to not pass on false gospels and despair
  • and the barriers queer people face when trying to stay with Jesus

Meg Baatz is the co-founder of Kaleidoscope, a New York–based organization helping provide LGBTQ+ people with tangible expressions of Jesus. Meg is a bridge-builder and ministry educator whose desire is to see people grow personally and engage locally in diverse communities – particularly at the intersection of sexuality, gender, and spiritual life with Jesus. Prior to launching Kaleidoscope, Meg spent 6 years educating ministry leaders on enhancing LGBTQ+ inclusion and care. Meg holds a degree in Social Work from Colorado State University.
