Summary

What happens when a lesbian pastor gets invited onto a Christian podcast? Apparently… they panic, cancel the interview, and call it “opposing views.” In this episode, Jeremy talks with Anne Marie Zanzel about coming out later in life, doing real ministry with real people, and what it looks like when evangelical spaces decide your existence is “too controversial.” This isn’t a theology debate. It’s about harm, power, and who gets to belong.
