Becoming Wilkinson

About Becoming Wilkinson

When I started this podcast, I thought it would be the story of my journey from married man with three sons, involved in ministry in the NW, to my current life as a gay man in Palm Springs, CA. I'd weave in interesting interviews with amazing people whom I've met along the way. But as the podcast has evolved, I realized that interacting and hearing other people's stories has changed me. The Universe always sends me just the right person at just the right time to guide me along my own journey of "Becoming". Join me as I have conversations with these fascinating people and share this journey with you.

Published 8 Sept 2026 · Transcript excerpt

[…] He was my really, really good friend. When my ex-wife and I eloped, of course, we each were going to have one person with us, and friendships ebb and flow and i think we were more of an ebb at that moment i mean we weren't apart but we just weren't close close and uh my other friend ross i invited him to be my best man and then he turned me down kind of at the last minute and said he had a basketball game that he had to go to which speaks volumes about that friendship but uh anyway so i had keith Keith Cummins, he was my best man.
