LeatherChaplain (they/it) is a progressive urban monastic and pastoral caregiver, shaped by twenty years in the kink and poly communities, and formal theological training from Phillips Theological Seminary. Its work centers on offering spiritual care to those rarely met by traditional ministry — kink and poly folks carrying both beauty and bruises in their stories.
Living a full-time protocoled life, their practice of “Disciplined Simplicity” embraces chosen restraint as a path to gratitude, clarity, and self-mastery. Known for leading Deconstruction Bible Studies and teaching on religious trauma, sexuality, and ritual, LeatherChaplain weaves faith, service, and surrender into a lived devotion where spirituality and kink are not at odds but intentionally braided together.
