Show Notes

Jennifer Knapp is a Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter, author, speaker and advocate. Her impressive history includes selling over one million albums with her first three releases Kansas, Lay It Down, and The Way I Am.

Despite a considerable fan base and critical and commercial success, she walked away from music in 2002 at the height of her career. 

After a seven-year hiatus she returned in 2010 with a renewed passion for music showcased in her album Letting Go. 

As the first major artist in the Christian music world to speak openly about LGBTQ identity, her unique position created opportunities for national dialogue.

In 2012 Jennifer founded the non-profit organization Inside Out Faith, through which she continues to speak and perform nationally as an advocate for LGBTQ & faith issues.

As a young person Jennifer’s music opened my  (Chelsea's) heart, expanded my worldview, shaped my theology and spoke truth in my life. They say don’t meet your heroes but I have to say I love Jennifer more now than ever. She is laid back, honest, patient, deeply thoughtful, funny, humble and just all around wonderful. 


Also a side note...Dana was not able to join me for this conversation. As many of you know Dana is a wife, mother, co-creator of The Collective Table and a seminary student. With all of life’s demands she had to put up and hold to some boundaries. It was a good lesson for her and I think for all of us that it’s okay even necessary to say, "No". 

But I know Dana is just as excited and honored as I am to lift up this conversation with Jennifer Knapp. We hope you enjoy.
