This week I speak to Kevin Garcia about the intersection of religion, sexuality, gender, magic and so many other seemingly oppositional concepts, but which he weaves together so beautifully and seamlessly.

We talk about what it means to have faith, the church's place in religion, the relationship between God & our intuition, the reason for suffering, how God feels about polyamory and so, so much more.

Kevin is a speaker, creative, musician, content creator and worship artist based in Atlanta, GA. After coming out in the fall of 2015 as a gay Christian, Kevin has reached thousands of individuals across the globe with his blog, theKevinGarcia.com, his podcast, “A Tiny Revolution,” on his YouTube channel where he unpacks theology and addresses life as a queer person of faith, and through speaking engagements at churches, universities, and festivals. Kevin also works with The Reformation Project, an LGBTQ direction action organization with a mission to make the global church more inclusive for queer people. He is presently a candidate for a Masters of Divinity from Columbia Theological Seminary in Atlanta, GA.
