Episode 010: Matthew Paul Turner

It’s the 10th episode of Better Sects!

My friend, author Matthew Paul Turner joins me today.

I was introduced to Matthew several years ago when he was curating a blog called Jesus Needs New PR…it was intriguing to me to see someone unpacking their spiritual trauma and journey so candidly and publicly.

Over the years, he’s been able to share his poignant writing in publications such as the Washington Post, the Daily Beast, and USA Today. A couple years ago, he also joined actor Morgan Freeman as the photojournalist for the National Geographic docu-series, The Story of God.

This summer, Matthew made the announcement, along with his wife, blogger Jessica, that he was gay, and they would be ending their marriage, but were forging a path to remain dear friends and co-parent their three children, even as they navigated uncharted relational waters.

This episode is very emotional and raw as Matthew holds nothing back, but shares deeply from his heart about the pain and joy he’s experienced, but also how writing for children, and especially his new Christmas book is allowing him to tell the stories he believes every child, and all of us need to hear.
