Beloved arise is a movement that fights for the kid that I used to be, the kid that thought he was all alone in this world.
James Powell takes us on a heartfelt journey through the ups and downs of 2020 in this episode of 'This Little Light of Mine'. Growing up as a closeted gay Christian in the Evangelical church, James faced immense trauma and spiritual abuse. Now, he opens up about his path to mental, spiritual, and emotional recovery. Through his candid storytelling, James sheds light on the harsh realities of religious trauma and the importance of finding supportive communities.
James introduces listeners to Beloved Arise, a movement dedicated to creating safe spaces for LGBTQ+ youth of faith. This initiative offers resources for young people, parents, and youth pastors, and even helps locate affirming churches. They are also working on a trauma-informed mental wellness program to help LGBTQ+ youth overcome hopelessness and embrace their true selves. Reflecting on the past year, James encourages us to use our voices and actions to spread love and support.
By standing with movements like Beloved Arise, we can make a meaningful difference in the lives of those who need it most. Tune in to hear James's inspiring story and learn how you can be part of the change.
