Hey everyone, Oteil here from the Comes A Time podcast, broadcasting from Petaluma, California. This episode is a special one as I'm recording something secret and cool that I can't wait to share with you. Our guest this week is my old friend Elizabeth Lott, who I know from our days at church in Birmingham, Alabama. Elizabeth recently made a significant life change, leaving her position as possibly the first female Baptist pastor in New Orleans. We delve into her journey, her continued faith, and the big questions that led her to this new chapter. Elizabeth and I discuss her remarkable path from being a trailblazer in the church to stepping away due to feeling confined by the institution. Despite her strong belief, she felt the church wasn't aligning with the radical, revolutionary love she felt called to pursue. Our conversation touches on the challenges of breaking away from established norms, her move to Macon, Georgia, and the excitement of new beginnings. Elizabeth's story is one of courage and faith, and I was thrilled to have this deep and heartfelt conversation with her. As always, you can catch this episode and all our others on all podcast platforms and our Comes A Time Podcast YouTube page. Don't forget to check out our Patreon for exclusive content.

I'm so grateful for people like Rick, and then to you guys for helping platform his educational efforts. MDMA literally cured my PTSD, over ten years ago now, and I have been entirely without any one single symptom that can be directly tied to my PTSD. Sad to say, I had to undertake the MDMA treatment on my own, with no direct medical oversight or legal immunity, although I promise I did it as safely and rigidly as possible, but that would lead to me serving time in prison a few years later. I lost a year of my life, in addition to thousands of dollars of probationary and electronic monitoring fees, due to my mission to treat my PTSD with a drug that was irrationally made illegal to begin with, in an attempt to persecute political opposition to the powerful interests controlling Washington. Thanks again for this.
