It's not every day that a Christian Pastor chats publicly with an Atheist for an hour but that's what this is. Pastor Mike shares his experience growing up within the Baptist church and learning, as a child, that he was gay. Mike explains what that experience meant to him at the time and how he was treated within his local and academic community.

We also spend some time near the end of the interview ranting about the church which is always great fun for me. I hope to have Mike back for a part 2 in the future as I really enjoyed getting to know him and hearing his perspective on life and god. ---------------------- Mike Maeshiro is the founder and CEO of Numa, a spiritual intelligence organization that equips people with theology, spirituality, and faith.
