Good friend of Matt Nightingale---Jerron Hess tells his story of growing up in a small German Baptist Community that sought to steer clear of any influence from the world in order to preserve their faith and christian community. He realized he needed to come out with his sexuality, leave the community, and step out into the world to both find and accept himself.

He's quite the creative artist and tells a compelling narrative of his coming out experience that reminds us how life is both sacred and strange.
