High school is a time where we often find ourselves and our people. Dave tells a story about being bullied at school and at his church because everyone thought he was gay. He recounts formative moments where he found a strong community of friends with other kids that were considered outsiders and thrived. Dave brings considerable humor, vulnerability, and insight to his stories. We enjoyed the connection, conversation, and laughs on this one.
