God without God, I realized I didn't have that crutch and drugs and alcohol kind of came into play. And then when I didn't have church anymore, I had community and bars and clubs and raves and house parties, you know, because I couldn't find that connection at church.

In this touching episode of 'A Queer Chaplain', Bonnie Violet opens up about their deeply personal journey of spirituality and self-discovery.
