Choosing Love: Honoring the Journey of Susan Cottrell

In this heartfelt episode, Susan Cottrell, Co-Host of Freedhearts Podcast, shares her personal journey of prioritizing love and acceptance over traditional evangelical beliefs upon her child's coming out as LGBTQ. Susan discuss the challenges faced within the church, the need for adults and children to learn anti-bullying behavior, and the courage it requires to step away from judgmental ideologies. This narrative emphasizes embracing a God much larger than religious confines, valuing authentic relationships, and the dynamic nature of faith and understanding. It encourages viewers to love openly, challenge doctrinal constraints, and see God's love beyond institutional walls.
