    I know. I've been MIA. Between my day job and writing Version 2 of the book, I've had little interest or motivation for the other things I love to do. 

    This episode gives you a rundown of what's been happening with Version 2 of the book and an inside scoop on the trajectory of releasing it!

    My Struggle with Erectile Dysfunction
    2022/05/11
    One of the most common yet unspoken struggles for men is erectile dysfunction. Especially for those in the gay community who have been exposed to control systems, shame and guilt are controlling factors that impact our ability to perform in the bedroom. This episode details my journey with my struggle with ED and my plan to move forward from seeking healing.  If you struggle with ED, you are not alone.  --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mygaychurchdays/support

  • SPECIAL GUEST: Barrett Carroll - PART 2

    SPECIAL GUEST: Barrett Carroll - PART 2
    2022/05/04
    PART 2 of my interview with Barrett! Barrett is one of a kind! Being raised in a controlled and abusive environment, Barrett found refuge in the entertainment industry. As a child actor, Barrett was introduced to perspectives that were far-removed from the worldview instilled in him through his experience of homeschooling and isolation. Although acting brought it's own set of challenges, Barrett was introduced to a wide variety of different experiences, forming his way to eventually leaving his controlled environment to pursue a life devoted to helping others heal from their traumas. From Barrett's website: I came to a position where I knew something had to change. It was never about becoming rich or famous for me. It was about creating things that mattered. I wanted to put purpose into pain and create art that did the same. For many years I lived a life filled with secrets and hardships. I had gone through seasons of great success and great failures. As soon as I seemed to be heading in the right direction, I would quickly get pulled away by a different hardship or.... opportunity as I now choose to look at it. I have an unusual story as many of you know. I grew up in a type of small evangelical based cult within a very abusive home. I never received a proper education until I attended college. I struggled with severe depression, Complex PTSD, anorexia and anxiety. During my childhood I was not aware of the depth of the trauma that I was experiencing. I grew up in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. I had some extended family that worked in entertainment and recognized my abilities at a young age. This led to me eventually working in commercials, Indie films and regional theatre for several years before attending college. I attended Baldwin-Wallace University and The University of Oklahoma where I received my Bachelors of Music in Musical Theatre. I worked at Disney World briefly after graduation but was shaken to my core during that time by the death of 8 of my friends within a year and a half as well as continued family conflict back in Oklahoma. During my time in Florida, I almost lost my own life due to an unexpected sickness and physical complications. After battling, health issues and depression alone, I found myself at the start of a spiritual awakening. --- An accomplished author, actor, and friend, Barrett has so much to offer the world. Be sure to check out Part 2, releasing on Wednesday, May 4th.

    Spirit(s)-Filled Episode with Alana Sweetwater

    We decided to record our conversation during a spirits-filled dinner with my dearest friend Alana Sweetwater. There are very few people in my life that can go to the depths of conversation like my dear friend Alana. After throwing back a few glasses of wine, we thought it would be imperative to record our conversation. Here is a clip of what was discussed that fantastic night! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mygaychurchdays/support
