“Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.” – Ephesians 4:31-32
“Being Christian” tells the story of a young man abused, molested, discarded and abandoned. After years of struggling and coming to terms with his sexuality, including a seven-year affiliation with the ex-gay reparative therapy ministry group Exodus, Christian Schizzel emerged with the hope to repurpose his life and his art for the greater good.
“No matter what they did to you, no matter what they called you, no matter how they treated you, you have value and you are loved because you breathe.” – Christian Schizzel
