This week I speak to Kevin Garcia about the intersection of religion, sexuality, gender, magic and so many other seemingly oppositional concepts, but which he weaves together so beautifully and seamlessly.

We talk about what it means to have faith, the church's place in religion, the relationship between God & our intuition, the reason for suffering, how God feels about polyamory and so, so much more. 

Kevin is a speaker, creative, musician, content creator and worship artist based in Atlanta, GA. After coming out in the fall of 2015 as a gay Christian, Kevin has reached thousands of individuals across the globe with his blog, theKevinGarcia.com, his podcast, “A Tiny Revolution,” on his YouTube channel where he unpacks theology and addresses life as a queer person of faith, and through speaking engagements at churches, universities, and festivals.  Kevin also works with The Reformation Project, an LGBTQ direction action organization with a mission to make the global church more inclusive for queer people. He is presently a candidate for a Masters of Divinity from Columbia Theological Seminary in Atlanta, GA.

Kevin's book recommendation: Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert

Song featured: "Empire" by Meeka Kates

A Millennial's Guide to Saving the World
I started this podcast because I was tired of being stereotyped as lazy, triggered and entitled. I wanted to give voice to a different kind of millennial and invite us to write a new story - one of a generation willing to challenge the status quo, embrace nuance and paradox, and reject PC-culture. This podcast isn’t about finding answers, it’s about asking the right questions. How can we reinvent ourselves and the narratives we’ve been expected to inherit? How can we take ownership over the ways we participate in our own suffering? How can we move beyond victimization and into empowerment? How can we fix ourselves to fix the world? It’s time for new dreams, new stories and new futures…
