<p>Logan Morrison is a trans man who leads Kaleidoscope’s trans outreach ministry in New York City. Logan talked with TJ and Tyler about coming out as trans and losing a job over it, and how Christian gospel and Christian communities had positive and negative impacts on him and many others. Tune in also for conversations about: how we distinguish experiences of gender vs. sexuality (”are you trans, or are you just lesbian?”), barriers for trans people in churches (exclusion, pronouns, bathrooms, stereotypes), and some practical steps for Christians wanting to serve and engage trans people (whether or not they’re Christians).</p><p><strong>About Our Guest:</strong> Logan (he/him) serves as the Trans Care Specialist and Community Outreach Coordinator at Kaleidoscope Ministries, where he walks alongside trans individuals with compassion, advocacy, and faith-centered support. Through unexpected turns in his own journey, Logan discerned a calling to steward his trans experience as a bridge for creating space to share the hope of the gospel with other trans folks in authentic and relational ways. He lives in NYC with his chosen family and three dogs.</p><p>—</p><p>★ <strong>Timestamps</strong></p><p>(00:00) #79 - Logan Morrison on Practical Steps for Reaching the Transgender Community</p><p>(01:56) About Logan</p><p>(03:45) Moving into trans ministry with Kaleidoscope </p><p>(10:35) Coming to a definition of “trans”--and of the gospel </p><p>(19:54) Barriers and misunderstandings: Being asked to leave, politicization </p><p>(26:51) What’s the difference between sexuality and gender experience? </p><p>(35:17) How’d you decide you were trans and not lesbian? </p><p>(49:56) How my theology leads loving outreach to trans people </p><p>(52:24) Advice to Christians wanting to engage/support trans people </p><p>(59:44) What gives me hope: Some trans people don’t have baggage with the gospel </p><p>(01:03:30) Words for trans listeners</p><p>—</p><p><strong>★ Links and References</strong></p><p><em>Ragamuffin Gospel</em>: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.amazon.com/Ragamuffin-Gospel-Brennan-Manning/dp/1576737160">https://www.amazon.com/Ragamuffin-Gospel-Brennan-Manning/dp/1576737160</a></p><p>Kaleidoscope USA: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.kaleidoscopeusa.org/">https://www.kaleidoscopeusa.org/</a></p><p>—</p><p>★ Send us feedback, questions, comments, and support || Email: <a target="_blank" href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a> | Instagram: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.instagram.com/newkinship">@newkinship</a> | Substack: <a target="_blank" href="https://newkinship.substack.com/">@newkinship</a></p><p><strong>—</strong></p><p><strong>★ Credits ||</strong> Creators and Hosts: David Frank, TJ Espinoza, Tyler Parker | Audio Engineer: Carl Swenson, <a target="_blank" href="http://www.carlswensonmusic.com/">carlswensonmusic.com</a> | Podcast Manager: Elena F. | Graphic Designer: Gavin Popken, <a target="_blank" href="https://gavinpopkenart.com/">gavinpopkenart.com</a> ★</p> <br/><br/>Get full access to New Kinship at <a href="https://newkinship.substack.com/subscribe?utm_medium=podcast&#38;utm_campaign=CTA_4">newkinship.substack.com/subscribe</a>
