Episode Details

In this latest episode, we learn how to be suspicious of our certainty as we discuss LGBTQIA+ in the Church. Join Knox, Jamie, Erin, and Evan as we explore our own journeys with Church and the LGBTQIA+ community. We’ll define terms, explore the clobber verses, and casually look at the past 2,000 years of sexuality in the Church. What does it look like to hold something openhandedly, and is there a limit to how much one should talk about hanging meat? You’ll have to listen to find out!
