The Sacred Act of Becoming Yourself
 Airs September 18, 2026

What happens to your spirituality when the religion you grew up with no longer has room for who you are?

In Episode 70 of The Mindfully Gay Podcast, John Cottrell and Jerry Buie explore gay spirituality, LGBTQ+ identity, organized religion, coming out, religious trauma, and the lifelong process of becoming your authentic self. Drawing from their experiences growing up within Catholic and Mormon traditions, John and Jerry ask an important question for queer people who have stepped away from organized religion: What remains when you leave the church but still long for meaning, connection, ritual, and the sacred?
