If church is supposed to be a community, what do we do when that community doesn't want us?

It's a question faced by LGBTQ2S+ christians around the world, and one that should NOT need to be asked. If church is supposed to be a community, what do we do when that community doesn't want us? If the church is a body, then the fear of including gender-diverse christians in their communities is akin to cutting off their own arm. The church is missing out on relationships with people who are beautifully and wonderfully made.

Dallas had the opportunity to interview Leo Wolters Tejera about the work they do through Conversations and on what it's like being to love God while being Non-Binary and Trans in an evangelical world that didn't want them back. There is much beauty to be heard in this conversation, and we hope you'll grow and learn from hearing from Leo as much as we did.
