Perfect Detours: Bonnie Violet on Spirituality, Identity, and Resilience

If you can get comfortable with the uncomfortable, you're going to have a life beyond your wildest dreams.
What if the twists and turns in life are actually leading you to your true self? In this episode of 'Perfect Detours', Bonnie Violet, known as a queer chaplain, sits down with host Bob Kiser to explore how unexpected paths can shape our spiritual journeys. Bonnie shares her unique experiences as a trans genderqueer spiritual drag artist, rape survivor, and person living with HIV in recovery from drugs and alcohol.
She opens up about finding spirituality in unconventional places and how embracing imperfections has helped her navigate life's gray areas. Bonnie's story is one of resilience and transformation. From discovering a safe haven in church despite not being raised in a religious family, to reimagining her spirituality after getting sober, she talks about the power of faith in overcoming adversity.
One of the standout moments is Bonnie's return to a church she had left, this time as a bearded lady, which became a profound experience of acceptance and self-worth. The episode also touches on Bonnie's work with the Urban Village Church, where she blends drag performance with spiritual exploration, helping others see the divine in their own stories.
'Perfect Detours' is a heartfelt conversation that highlights the importance of spiritual detours in discovering who we truly are and fostering relationships across different beliefs. Tune in for an inspiring journey through the intersections of spirituality, identity, and resilience.
