Part 6: The Bridge Builder

Abbey Normal

Growing up in a strict Nigerian (+Southern Baptist) household, there were big expectations placed on little Kenny's shoulders. He tried his best to achieve every goal, and meet everyone's needs. But eventually, at Seminary, it all caught up with him and his dreams came crashing down. Was it possible to work in Church ministry... and be gay?

Not The Same series:

Not all Christians are the same.

There’s an accelerating trend toward religious disaffiliation. But there are some Christians who simply don’t fit into a box- who take their own faith seriously, and actively question the beliefs and practices of the U.S. Evangelical church. Those who would like to attend church services but can’t find one that “fits” them, right where they’re at.

This series is their stories. Stories of harm at the hands of the church, disillusionment, and the journey to redeem themselves, and maybe, the church.
