Ep. 137: Queer Eye's Pastor Noah Hepler (Pride Month Special) (Netflix / Deconstruction / Theology / LGBTQ Affirming / Tan / Karamo / JVN / Bobby / Antoni)

In this episode, Sadie and Gavi are joined by Pastor Noah Hepler, of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of the Atonement in Philadelphia. Pastor Noah was featured on Season 5 Episode 1 of Netflix's Queer Eye as an openly gay pastor running a queer affirming ministry. He speaks about his own journey and upbringing in fundamentalism, his experience on the show, and what it means to be an affirming Christian.

TW: In general we talk about a lot of potentially triggering topics on this show, including but not limited to suicide and mental health, racism, misogyny, PTSD and PTSD symptoms, child abuse, mental, physical, and sexual abuse, and spiritual abuse including guilt, shame, and fear. In most episodes we’ll mention at least a few of these topics, but we try very hard to avoid graphic detail unless it’s relevant to the story we’re telling, and we do our best to give the audience a heads-up before going into detail on any of these topics.
