Summary: When Susan Cottrell was faced with the decision to either support her daughter (who'd just come out as a lesbian) or maintain alignment with her evangelical church, she chose her child. Then, she created Freed Hearts (https://www.freedhearts.org) because she knew that other people had to make similar choices, and needed resources, support, and belonging. We welcome Susan to The Kate & Colby Show with wide open hearts, astonished by her tenacious insistence to love people unconditionally. Listen in as Susan talks about her journey of discovery that sometimes in order to more closely follow Jesus we must shift away from conventional religious systems.
