As a young Christian, I was led to believe that sex held a magical power that would transform me into a man and heal all of my insecurities—even more so if I remained pure before marriage. Imagine my surprise after my wedding night when I realized, “I feel like the same person.”
Jesus, Don't Let Me Die Before I've Had Sex is a documentary examining the idealism and silence embedded in the sexual teachings of evangelical churches. Through the stories of gay, straight, celibate & sexually active churchgoers we explore the hopes, fears, and prayers of real people as they learn to reconcile their faith and sexualities.
Hello Friends! I’m typing this message to you in a fantastic little coffee shop in the town of Boston. If you like coffee, and you’re in Boston, check out Blue State. Self roasters, quality ingredients, and great music. I’m currently dealing with the logistics of the road. Across from me, Brittany is preparing for a number of interviews including Jennifer Knust and Dennis Hollinger. Chris Pack is heading up our California office dealing with accommodations, securing interview locations, and finding new interviewees. So far our trip has included: four sit down interviews, two states, one day of Person-On-The-Street interviews, eighteen 250-watt bulbs, one freak rain storm, one blown circuit, and thirty-two cups of coffee. These are the fruits of your support and generosity. So far it’s been an enlightening, fulfilling, energetic, and fun trip—and we’re only 1/3 of the way complete. I’ll continue to send out periodic updates over the next two weeks. Onward! Matt, Brittany, and Chris
