For this episode, Nat is joined by Reverend Evan Amo to talk about the intersections of faith, sexuality, shame, and repairing damage caused by harmful rhetoric in the name of the church. From the topic of Original Sin and the different pressures places on spirit and body, to the alienating and shame driven aspects of sexuality within the typical conservative Christian teachings, Evan brings both personal and pastoral insight to the table, and together we explore how those religious frameworks have shaped (and often distorted) our understanding of sexuality.
Rev. Evan Amo is the founding pastor of Waypoint Spiritual Community and the musician behind Bruised Reeds, a soul-searching music project that blends lament with liberation. BE sure to follow Waypoint Spiritual on Instagram to see their community work!

I mean, we haven't had those classes since high school (or never), right??? The world of sex and sexuality is vast and growing and even the experts have to stay on top of the latest discoveries to stay relevant! How can the general public be expected to keep up?
