What’s up y’all of little faith and welcome to the 5th episode of season 2 of The Fagnostic Podcast.  I’m your hostess, not your Moses, Mat Hayes. And if I’m still giving you episodes, it means I’m still looking for answers.  Y’all, we are officially in Pride month and I have one of our fiercest allies here with us today.  Malynda Hale is a voice with a voice. Originally from Santa Barbara, she has made her way through town as an incredible vocalist who has become a prominent figure on many of today’s most controversial topics.  From social justice to LGBTQ advocacy, from progressive Christianity to Black Lives Matter, from female empowerment to veganism, and most currently relevant, reproductive choice, she lives a life that is lead by the legacy of Christ as she sees it.  She has an incredible podcast called #weneedtotalk, so when you’re done with this one, go on over to that one and give it a good listen! She has served as worship leader at various churches and also sits on the board of the Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice.  While I’ve mostly been an audience member, we do share one credit: Sex Sent Me To the ER.  I am so thankful for voices like hers and I’m honored to have her share her journey and thoughts on the state of the world from a love-lead perspective.  Welcome to the show Malynda Hale!
