Episode 43

Getting Campy with Susan Titus

Listen

This is our last official full-length podcast for season one of the HIMH podcast! [Insert weeping]

We are going to us off into the July break talking about a favorite summer activity: camping.

But this episode covers much more than camp life. Our guest, Susan Titus, a shares practical experience of caring for LGBT+ campers as well as ways God has convicted her to love LGBT+ people. (Her methods include reaching out to people in gay bars and wearing rainbow bracelets). Per usual, we learn a lot about what it means to live missionally.

We also play a game called Camp or Tramp (is this a real camp experience or a faker?), and explore best and worst camp moments with our listener Question of the Week!

Highlight:
“What really propelled me down the path was we had a staff member…who came out about a relationship. [It] compelled me to get some skin in the game and really start to study, learn, and understand.” –Susan Titus
