Episode 103: Growing Up Gay in the Evangelical South and Healing Through Music w/ Garrison Starr
Om avsnittet
When the faith you were raised in no longer has room for who you are, where do you go next?
Singer-songwriter Garrison Starr joins Jaisa and Rachael to talk about growing up gay in an evangelical Mississippi community, losing friends and church family along the way, and grieving the beliefs she could no longer hold. It's an honest conversation filled with laughter, vulnerability, and moments that hit deep.
Garrison shares how songwriting became her path back to the sacred, including her new album, The Gospel Truth, which she describes as “swamp gospel hymns for humans.” Together, they explore learning to trust your own intuition, giving yourself permission to question, and discovering belonging on the other side of deconstruction.
For anyone who's ever felt like they had to choose between being true to themselves and belonging to their faith community.
Garrison Starr:
Garrison Starr is a singer, songwriter and Grammy-nominated record producer whose work spans Americana, indie folk and soul. Her new album, The Gospel Truth, continues her story of healing from an evangelical Christian upbringing.
