QTalk: Nigerian pastor fights for identity after church rejection

 |

Andrew, a 30-year-old gay man from Nigeria, turned to the Qtalk app for counseling after being dismissed from his pastoral role when his church discovered his sexuality. Andrew had devoted his life to his faith and congregation, and the abrupt termination left him feeling betrayed, isolated, and uncertain about his future. During the session, Andrew recounted how his life was upended in an instant. For years, he had served as a pastor in a prominent and influential church, where he was deeply committed to his faith and his responsibilities as a spiritual leader. However, the recent revelation of his sexuality led to a sudden and painful dismissal. “I always knew this day might come,” Andrew confessed during the session, “but I never anticipated how much it would hurt. I dedicated my life to that church, to helping people, and now I’m being told I’m unworthy because of who I am.”
