Doug came to Christ in his teens, during the charismatic movement and the “Jesus is coming back in 1988” days of the church. While now rejecting a good amount of the theology he’s learned over the last 40+ years, he’s still maintained faith in Christ.
Doug later reconciled being a gay man and a Christian, and has served as pastor of a small affirming church for over 10 years.
Doug lives in Youngstown, Ohio with his husband Shane, two cats, and an energetic goldendoodle named Georgia.
