Presenter Mike Maeshiro is a gay ex-pastor and is now a consultant for queer and deconstructing Christians. He will talk about how he sincerely suffocated for Jesus, not realizing that it was people and bigotry that kept him in the closet, not Jesus. Mike will share his story of how his relationship with God led him out of the closet and into the arena of advocacy for LGBTQ+ people.

Mike Maeshiro will be available after the service for further discussion and conversation.
