Steph Lentz, author of IN/OUT

Religion & Spirituality, Society & Culture

A hardcore Christian during her teens and twenties, Steph Lentz once preached against homosexuality and defended her church’s conservative teachings about marriage and sex – that is, until she fell in love with a woman at her church, and her world turned upside-down.

Being honest about her sexuality cost Steph her marriage, her job and her community. 

In the midst of ongoing debates about religious freedom and discrimination against LGBTQIA+ people in Australia, Steph’s story is timely and necessary, and comes in the form of a deeply personal memoir titled In/Out released this week. 

Steph joins Rach and Dean on JOY Breakfast as she shares her experience first hand.
