Rachel Held Evans: A True Ally

RHE interviewing Allyson Robinson, my wife Rachel Murr, me, AnaYelsi Velasco-Sanchez, and Matthew Vines at a Why Christian? conference panel in 2016

Many people knew Rachel Held Evans far better than I, and have captured her generosity, kindness, and fierce love. I don’t have much to add to the mammoth matrix as we make meaning of her life and ministry. But what I do want to add is this: very few straight people — especially straight people who don’t have a queer family member — really get what it means to be an ally to the LGBTQ+ community.
