In today’s episode, we answer a question from our listener – Charlie, who asked how to live as a gay person and still be Christian? How do you live your life as a queer person without having to constantly rationalize your life against the Bible and what it says about gay folks?
We also take a look at a Bible passage that we haven’t covered before. We’re very excited to queer this text from 2 Peter 1:16-21. We are reminded by this passage that we are ALL called to do this ministry. That while the physical form of Jesus is gone, the work and movement remain. And it is our responsibility to continue to do the work.
