Stop translating your story. Talk with men who already get it.
If you grew up evangelical and came out, you already know the problem: you can explain your story but most people can’t hold it. You end up editing yourself, translating everything or staying quiet. This group is where you stop doing that.
Mike’s Gay Discussion Group is a protected, paid Zoom community for cisgender, gay men rebuilding life after Evangelicalism. We meet every Saturday at 11:00am CST.
What this is
A consistent, structured space to process what Evangelicalism installed in you and to build what comes next with men who share the same cultural and spiritual background.
What happens in the group
Real-time discussion that turns vague stuck-ness into specific clarity
Shared reading and reflection that gives you new language and a usable framework
Confidential conversations that can hold spirituality, mental health, theology, philosophy and art without performance or debate-posturing
A community rhythm that builds trust over time, not a one-off event
What this helps with
Isolation after leaving church culture
Shame reflexes, fear of judgment and lingering spiritual threat
Family dynamics, boundaries and the emotional cost of being “the disappointing one”
Dating, intimacy and identity when your formative years were managed by theology
Rebuilding meaning without returning to self-erasure
Who this is for
This group is only open to cisgender, gay men and it’s specifically for committed participation and active engagement.
If you want a broader LGBTQ+ community space, consider the Rainbow Room.
Why it is paid and application-based
The goal is a stable container: consistent attendance, higher trust and a group culture that stays usable and protected.
