Manage episode 423366799 series 2613149
For this bonus episode, D.L. Mayfield interviewed Amber Cantorna-Wylde, author of Out of Focus, My Story of Sexuality, Shame, and Toxic Evangelicalism. DL talked with her about her experience growing up as the daughter of the man in charge of Adventures in Odyssey. Amber’s story is heartbreaking, inspiring, and also a powerful indictment against the people that often told us that “family is everything.”
Today Amber is a powerful advocate for the LGBTQIA+ community, focusing on people who grew up in high control religious environments. Make sure to check out her book Out of Focus: My Story of Shame, Sexuality, and Toxic Evangelicalism. She also hosts the Unashamed Love Collective.
