This episode is different. It’s sacred.

The Transgender Day of Remembrance is a day to honor and remember the transgender people whose lives were stolen by violence, hatred, and neglect.

We wish we didn’t need a day like this. We wish the world were already safe and affirming for our trans family and friends. But the reality is, many lives are lost each year—and too often, those lives are ignored, erased, or dismissed.

So today, we stop. We pause. We remember. We honor.

You are talking about this and then it happens: someone pulls out a Bible verse and declares that God is against transgender people.

You’ve heard it from pulpits, from politicians, maybe from your own family.

But, Beloved, here’s the truth: the Bible does NOT say what these people claim it does. In fact, what the Bible does say about this is actually fully affirming!

So today, we dig in and set the record straight about what the Bible doesn’t say, what it does say, and why this matters so much right now!

Politicians and pundits have made trans rights one of their top wedge issues. They stir up outrage, and push legislation designed to divide, distract, and control.

We’ve all seen it: bills banning gender-affirming care, bathroom access, policing pronouns, especially in state legislations. Leaders pushing them claim it’s about “protecting children” or “upholding values.”

But, it’s not! This is about consolidating power through fear.

And while trans people feel the sting of this, the harm doesn’t stop with them. It ripples outward, touching every one of us.

Because when anti-trans rhetoric spreads, it erodes compassion, truth, and freedom—for everyone.

Let’s talk about God! Our favorite subject… Or is it?? It would be—or could be—if we hadn’t been lied to about God.

Well, our job at FreedHearts is to make you feel better about God — or have no feelings about God, that’s fine. But what we DON’T want is for you to have bad feelings about God because they’re usually connected to bad feelings about yourself – and none of that is true!

Today we tell you a story as a contrast to God—about Alfred Hitchcock. Hitchcock is known as the Master of Suspense. Just in time for Halloween!

This is going to be fun!

Jesus’ message was clear: the kingdom of God is here and now. His anger burned toward those in power who oppressed the vulnerable. His focus was justice, compassion, and service — NOT personal salvation formulas.

Yet so much of today’s theology on LGBTQ issues, sin, salvation, and authority doesn’t come from Jesus at all — it comes from Paul.

So we ask: are Christians really following Paul instead of Jesus?

Today’s episode is a heartfelt message to non-affirming Christians — or one you can share with them.

It’s a message of hope and courage: you do NOT need to be afraid to support LGBTQ+ people and same-sex relationships.

Yes, the climate feels hostile. Yes, fear is loud. But truth is louder. Prejudice is crumbling. Walls are falling. Pastors are rethinking long-held beliefs. Parents are choosing their child over false doctrine.

This is what faith is meant to be. Not about fear. Not about control. But about love — radical, unstoppable love.

Today’s episode is both deeply personal and powerfully relevant to the moment we’re living in.

We’re talking about coming out — as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer — in a time when hostility and attacks are escalating. This isn’t just theory — it’s raw, real, and urgent.

All of this in honor of National Coming Out Day on October 11th!

Plus, we’re sharing a major announcement about a bold new chapter for FreedHearts — one we can’t wait for you to hear.

This conversation is about courage, truth, and love in the face of fear. You don’t want to miss it.

Last week, we talked about healing—the kind that doesn’t just change us, but changes the world. The healing that makes us more kind, more loving, more empathetic.

But here’s the truth: while we’re doing this sacred work, there is a battle raging around us. A relentless stream of fear, attacks, and psychological warfare designed to wear us down, to make us give up hope.

So how do we stand strong in the middle of all that? How do we keep our hearts from breaking under the weight of it?

Today, I have a story for you. It’s not just powerful—it’s one of the most powerful stories I’ve ever heard about finding courage, resilience, and unshakable love in the face of fear. You do not want to miss this.
