Episode #6 - Awakening Together: A Journey of Friendship, Faith, and Freedom with Rick Gregory

In this deeply personal and inspiring episode, I sit down with my dear friend Rick Gregory—a bond that felt like love at first sight. From the moment we met, our connection sparked a shared journey of self-discovery, healing, and spiritual awakening.

Rick's story is one of profound transformation. After a life-changing spiritual experience at 19, he dedicated over two decades to biblical studies and pastoral ministry. Yet, beneath his devotion lay a personal truth: Rick had known from an early age that he was gay. Navigating the complexities of faith and identity, he faced immense challenges, including leaving the pastorate, enduring personal loss, and confronting addiction.

Through it all, Rick emerged with a renewed understanding of the Divine as unconditional love. As the founder of The Awakened Collective, he now guides others on their paths to spiritual freedom and self-acceptance.

Our conversation delves into the power of authentic friendship, the courage to embrace one's true self, and the beauty of evolving together. Join us as we reflect on our intertwined journeys and the lessons we've learned along the way.
