Kaeley Triller is Reaching Across the Aisle for Truth and Love

Kaeley Triller is the co-founder of Hands Across the Aisle Women’s Coalition. Today, she shares her difficult moments that revealed God’s kindness toward her and why she joined forces with women from different backgrounds. The unlikely partnership was formed when she took an unpopular stand against a new policy in Washington State regarding restrooms. We talk about why Kaeley feels so passionately about protecting children and how we can love people from other perspectives even if we do not agree. She has been on the receiving end of hate mail and threats and encourages the Church to speak up in love for truth.

Great quotes from Kaeley:

God has brought me back to himself by making me a parent.

It can be sinful to call something evil or bad or worthless when God has said that it is good.

Truth resonates with people ready to hear it.

We don’t have to compromise the truth to be loving.
