In this episode of Shalom Speaks, Ash Dulin and Rev. Bob Clark sit down with Nico—community builder, advocate, and founder of Flaming for Jesus—for a raw and radiant conversation about reclaiming faith, healing from religious trauma, and the sacred power of being fully, unapologetically yourself.

Nico’s story is one of collision and calling: from surviving a near-fatal car crash to launching a movement of radical welcome for LGBTQ+ individuals seeking spiritual connection beyond shame and fear. With honesty, humor, and holy fire, Nico shares what it means to rise above rejection and co-create spaces where queer people are not just tolerated, but celebrated.

✨ Whether you're navigating faith and identity, longing for belonging, or learning how to love more boldly, this episode is a beacon of hope and honesty.

This episode reminds us:
🔸 You don’t have to ask permission to belong.
🔸 God's love is not conditional.
🔸 Creating community is sacred work.
🔸 Joy can find you—even in the shower.

Flaming for Jesus isn’t just a nonprofit—it’s a movement, a lifeline, and a mirror reflecting back the truth: you are wonderfully made, and you are not alone.
