  How do I create the community I wish I had?

  Sep 22, 202643 minS8

  This month on All Out in the Open , Ben Schilaty, Sarah Langford, and guest Tegan Zelano “Z” Blanchard answer the question, "How do I create the community I wish I had?" Z shares how his social circle grew from a small group chat to a WhatsApp group of over one hundred LGBTQ+ young adults across Utah. Their efforts to create opportunities for queer joy culminated in a successful queer prom, which will soon be followed by queer homecoming. This episode discusses the importance of authenticity and vulnerability in forming connections. Ben, Sarah, and Z remind us that community building starts by ministering to the one, and God will inspire us to know who to reach out to first. #AllOutInTheOpen #LGBTQ #ReligiousPodcast #Community #ChurchOfJesusChristLatterDaySaints
