B.T. Harman (formerly Brett Trapp) is one of those amazing people who so generously agreed to hop on my podcast, even though we’d never met. But the truth is I FELT like I knew B.T. because of his incredible vulnerability in sharing his journey. I am in awe of him, think he’s adorable and so creative and brave and … he is showing us again and again how to live with courage and vulnerability. This is such an important part of our journey, and I can’t wait for you to hear more from B.T., and remind ourselves to embrace vulnerability.
Your host, Will, interviews B.T. Harman, formally Brett Trapp, out of Cabbagetown, Atlanta, GA about B.T.'s perspective on coming out, dealing with sexuality, and how to have better conversations about homosexuality and same-sex attraction no matter where one stands on the topic.

This 4th episode in our For the Love of Podcasts series speaks to the powerful way podcasts can affect change. In fact, we’ve seen podcasts start important conversations and transport us to moments in history we’d have never encountered otherwise. Jen talks to a few of her podcaster friends who are bringing the heat to their spaces: The Red Couch Podcast’s Jason Petty (aka rapper Propaganda) and his wife, Dr. Alma Zaragoza-Petty, and Catlick’s BT Harman (Brett Trapp!). First, Prop and Alma give us a deep dive into the world of the Red Couch, where they empower the experiences of people in non-majority culture who may not have conventional degrees, but can school us on politics and economics all the same (because everybody comes up against money and power, no matter where they live). Prop and Alma invite folks in majority culture to spend time in a space that’s not designed for them—because experience breeds empathy. In the second half of the show, we catch up with BT Harman, who was on the show last spring when we still called him Brett Trapp. Today we learn about the podcast BT’s been working on for four years: a true-crime story filled with complicated Southern history reaching back across centuries that he unearthed right in his own backyard: Atlanta’s Cabbagetown neighborhood. These storytellers encourage every generation to retell the hard stories, and to make room for voices from the margins to move to the center of the discussion.
If you drive down Heathrow Drive in Florence, Alabama, you’ll eventually arrive at Shoals Christian School, my high school alma mater. Out front there’s a flagpole encircled by twenty-six stone pavers that are the color of sand. Each one is engraved with the name of a student from the school’s first graduating class, the class of 2000. One of those names is “Brett Trapp.” That used to be me. Words by B.T. Harman Read by B.T.

Special guest B.T. Harman shares his southern coming out story with the VL tribe.
It’s the final episode in the “For the Love of Exploring Our Faith” series, and you guys begged to hear from this week’s guest. Not that we blame you—we love him, too! Brett Trapp is a marketing consultant and storyteller who lives in Atlanta’s Cabbagetown neighborhood. The son of a Southern Baptist preacher from small-town Alabama, for more than a decade Brett kept a journal on being Christian and being gay. One morning in 2016, Brett hopped on Facebook and began sharing the story he had been writing privately for so long. In his forty-four-part series, Blue Babies Pink, Brett recounts his journey of growing up, coming out, and reconciling his faith. It’s equal parts whimsical, harrowing, hilarious, and wise.
Brett Trapp, author of the Blue Babies Pink blog and podcast, joins me. His podcast was one of my top recommendations for last year. Brett has a gift of storytelling and his podcast was just that. It is a story of growing up gay and Christian in the south. Brett joins me around the table to tell his story. The conversation isn’t a theological debate. It isn’t question of whether its right or wrong. It’s simply his story. What I’ve noticed in my life is that when we hear someone’s story, empathy follows.

Being a leader it can be easy to feel like you have to be “something”, but what do you do when there feels like there’s a dichotomy between who you are supposed to be and who you know you are?Can you face and compassionately lead someone with seemingly very different values than your own? Whether those values are generational I.E. Boomer Vs Millennial or for that matter what if they were faith based values?Some would say it’s impossible to lead without having to suppress parts of yourself… But what if being all of who you are, even the contradictory parts could actually make you a better leader, would you do it? find out what happens when you embrace all of who you are in leadership.Our guest on this episode is… Brett Trapp.Brett Trapp is a consultant, writer, and speaker.He was previously Vice President of Client Experience for the Booster-thon Fun Run an innovative school fundraising company based out of Atlanta.For over a decade, Brett was a key player in helping Booster raise more than $150 million for American schools.Within Booster, Brett Trapp led a team of creative’s that developed high-end character and leadership content for more than 1.3 million students annually.In late 2016, Brett launched “Blue Babies Pink” a 44-episode journey through faith, sexuality shame, loneliness, singleness, and emotional health.

Brett Trapp, a pastor's kid from small-town Alabama, told his story of coming out in the Christian community on his blog "Blue Babies Pink." He talks to us about the author's who inspired him, the ideas he's exploring, and how he honors the people he writes for and about.
While growing up, from what I remember Homosexuality and Christianity mixed as well as oil and water. This was a similar situation for Brett growing up. He was heart broken when he realized that he was attracted to men, a struggled alone with it for many years all while seeking God in the situation. Brett and I discuss growing up as a preachers son, coming to his friends and family and deciding to write a blog chronicling his journey through it all. His blog is called Blue Babies Pink Twitter @BrettTrapp If you want to reach me on twitter @allenrjr or our website www.theraysin.com
Brett Trapp of the online memoir/story/audio story Blue Babies Pink is a writer, speaker and marketing consultant whose story took my heart by storm this past spring. Brett's "Southern coming out story" has been described as the "Netflix of blogs" - and is the epitome of Brené Brown's "excruciating vulnerability." He risked a lot to tell his true story. And it's awesome. So I was thrilled to get him on the show to talk about what it really means to tell his own true story with so much grace - and to embrace not only the need for us as speakers and leaders to speak with vulnerability, but the power of that embracing as well.
We loved getting to talk to Brett Trapp for a while! Brett is a friend of ours, but he is also one of the best communicators you'll ever meet or listen to! During the podcast we talked about his story, what it's like to be gay in the church, and then everything from healing prayer to the 3 ways most people approach the gay issue. You can find out more about his story at www.bluebabiespink.com or the audio story at www.bbpaudiostory.com. **************************************** Credits: Music: Marco Randazzo Graphics: Ashley Evans Hosts: Chris Randazzo & Taylor Hendrick Special thanks to my wife, Jodi Randazzo, for the incredible dinner she made for all of us before the show... the true highlight of the evening.
