We share our own personal experiences, what we went through, things we did to keep ourselves sane, and so much more.
We also queer this week’s texts which come from Jeremiah 28:5-9 & Matthew 10:40-42.

Queer TheologyProphetic Troublemaking – Matthew 10:26-39In this episode, we answer a question from a Tumblr follower about finding a way to connect with God. For someone who grew up without a strong, solid foundation it can be very difficult to believe in God. “I just find it difficult to believe that God is really there, that they really exist. I don’t know what to do next.”
We also queer this week’s text from Matthew 10:26-39 which reminds us that we are indeed called to fight. That following our faith asks us to speak our truth and in that same essence, prepare...

Queer TheologyFrom Worship Songs to Protest Hymns – Psalm 68:1-10, 32-35Like most people who love music and art, we understand them as a “voice” or expression of our soul. Art can express and reflect our values. Sometimes, worship music or Christian movies are thought of as separate from other types of art. Is that helpful? And what about Christian media for progressive and LGBTQ people? We address a listener question from our Tumblr on just that topic in today’s episode.
We also queer this week’s text from Psalm 68:1-10, 32-35 which ties beautiful. Psalms were songs, what might they teach us about “worship music” today? We explore t...

We also queered Genesis 2:15-17; 3:1-7 which is basically about the original sin: God’s warning, the snake’s temptation, and the woman giving in to the temptation.
