Queerness is already sacred
we want to show you how
After 10 years as the longest running LGBTQ+ spirituality podcast, we're introducing new ways to move from fear to freedom soon.

creating the theology of our liberation
— Welcome, Friend!
We’re so glad you’re here. When we came out (ages ago) there weren’t very many resources for LGBTQ+ spiritual seekers and pretty much all of the resources that DID exist only asked if it was okay to be gay. While that question matters and is a great starting point, there’s so much more! We wanted to create a space where people could explore how their sexuality and gender identity enriched their faith! Where people could make friends, and grow their faith, and transform their lives. This is the place we’ve created and have been running since 2013.
We’re so excited to be on this journey with you and can’t wait to get to know you! So say hello and let’s dive in!

The Longest-Running LGBTQ+ Spirituality Podcast
Every week you’ll hear a queer and trans take on issues that matter to LGTBQIA+ people and our spiritual lives. You can listen right here or wherever you find your favorite podcasts.
And don’t forget, we’ve got a robust catalog of older episodes
Less doubt. More community.
A connection to the divine that is ancient modern yours
Sanctuary Collective is a diverse, international community of LGBTQ+ people of faith and spiritual seekers. We’re Christians and Jews and seekers and doubters and spiritual-but-religious and religious-but-not-spiritual and some of us are searching for something else entirely.
We’re waiting to accept and support you just as you are—no compromise, no hiding.
The journey is easier with others. Come figure out what you really believe, develop spiritual practices that nourish you, reconnect with your body and creativity, and be surrounded by love (plus, lots of selfies and cat pictures) (even though some of us are allergic!)
Sanctuary Collective includes
- a private community discussion app for web & mobile
- monthly discussion groups & coaching calls
- quarterly worship experiences
- themed small groups
- a dedicated, closed group for trans & nonbinary members
- channels for topics like bodies, creativity, polyamory, bookclub, and more
