Coming Out in An Evangelical Family // FCA

Coming out; what a crazy, beautiful scary thing. When Leticia read her friends coming out story on social media last January she knew she had to have her on the podcast.

A few excerpts from today's guest Erica Hairistons' coming out post.

"I've known I am gay for a very, very long time, but knowing and accepting something are different matters entirely. Burying the truth suffocated me, trapping me in a pit of despair, pain, and isolation I wasn't sure I had the strength to escape until I did, and if my story of coming out of that grave can help even one of you do the same, whatever your grave may be, then it will be worth sharing. "

It has been said from the beginning on this podcast, we all of a closet of some sort, and in our vulnerability and sharing our stories we are liberating and giving other's the permission to come out of the darkness and find their true authentic free selves.
