Show Notes

On this week’s episode of “What God Looks Like” TCT is beyond humbled and excited to introduce Don Abram founder of Pride in the Pews.  
 
Don grew up on southside of Chicago attending a Baptist church with his grandmother.  At the age of 14, he was called into ministry to preach.  It’s a wonderful story he shares in this episode! I can’t wait for you to hear it.  
 
Unfortunately, like so many stories from the queer community, Don hid half of himself away every Sunday from 11-2.  It wasn’t until he attended Harvard Divinity that he finally stopped living a double life and fully embodied who God had made him to be.  Today, Don and the team at Pride In the Pews are actively working to give voice through story telling to Christian Black queer people.  For too long the Black Church has silenced the queer voice and Pride In The Pews is working to change that narrative.
 
If you are moved by what you hear in this episode, please support the work of Pride in the Pews by visiting prideinthepews.com and following Pride in the Pews on social media.  
 
With that, turn this up and listen to Don give witness to Black queer liberation theology!
