You were loved unconditionally by god, who made you exactly as you are. You're worthy of this love and this love is your birthright.
Imagine growing up in a world where your very identity is deemed unworthy of love. James Powell knows this reality all too well. In 'This Little Light of Mine', he opens up about his life as a closeted gay Christian in the Evangelical church, sharing a raw and soul-searching journey of healing, forgiveness, and recovery. This podcast isn't just about recounting past traumas; it's about shining a light on the path to mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
In this introductory episode, James takes us through his personal experiences, from the terror of being told he was a sinner simply for who he was, to the trauma that followed—cPTSD, religious trauma, spiritual abuse, sexual abuse, and addiction. But this isn't just a tale of suffering; it's a story of finding one's voice and reclaiming a sense of self-worth. James doesn't walk this path alone.
Each episode features heartfelt conversations with other LGBTQ+ individuals of faith, trauma survivors, people in recovery, and those questioning their beliefs and relationships. These discussions challenge harmful religious dogmas and emphasize the importance of prioritizing mental, emotional, and spiritual health. Through his candid storytelling, James aims to build a progressive and inclusive spiritual community focused on healing and love. He believes that individual healing can lead to broader societal change, creating spaces where everyone feels valued and accepted.
If you're looking for an inspiring and heartfelt podcast that tackles tough issues with grace and authenticity, 'This Little Light of Mine' is a must-listen.
