2022 Ripple Conference

Love Thy LGBTQ+ Neighbor
Aubrey Brolsma '23, Hope College

This session expands on a speech given at TEDxHopeCollege about the facilitator's journey starting as a non-affirming evangelical Christian to eventually becoming an out bisexual person and an affirming Christian. There will be structured discussion about faith and sexuality and growing in faith. The session will also cover how faith can change and revolve.  Attendees will  immerse themselves in a conversation about whether their faith has changed or not. Attendees will walk away from the session just having engaged in a hard conversation and maybe learn something about how someone goes from non-affirming to affirming and maybe glean some perspective into that process.
