Mike Maeshiro: Embracing Authenticity and Advocacy
“I think god is speaking to me about that, because I think, collectively, we're getting closer to the place where we can actually do the justice work of covering and protecting and embracing these people, even if we don't understand them.”
Picture this: a young man grappling with his identity in a world that often feels unaccepting. That's the reality Mike Maeshiro faced, and in this episode of 'Rooted Recovery Stories', he shares his powerful journey with Patrick Custer. Mike, an LGBTQ+ advocate and queer theology enthusiast, opens up about his struggles with sexuality within a religious environment and how he found his way to peace and authenticity.
His story is not just about personal battles; it's a broader conversation on spirituality, trauma, and the vital role of LGBTQ+ advocacy today. Mike's insights into queer theology offer a fresh perspective, challenging traditional views and encouraging a more inclusive understanding of faith. This episode is a beacon for anyone seeking hope and healing, showing that true freedom comes from embracing who you are and standing up for what you believe in.
