– The origin story of a Lutheran queer eco-process theologian from North Dakota – an exploration of religion & violence – exploring sexuality, queerness and desire – god is queer – after an orgasm tell God you’re welcome – how purity culture destroys community – divine eroticism – Biblical authority in a Process style – feeling the trauma when you can’t fix the violence – moral agency w/out a redemption story – one of the big lies that shapes us, is that we are alone. It is in our relationality and community we find the power for creative transformation – post-Covid theology – thinking American from the outside – dead people Jake loves to think with – shout out to Marjorie Suchocki’s prayer book
