S2E6 - Am I a "real" Christian?
Jun 18, 202400:27:44Tap to summarizeDoes being gay and in a relationship mean I'm not a real Christian? What about if I disagree with the Bible?

Transcribe →S2E3 - How Do You Encounter God?
Jan 16, 202400:31:56Tap to summarizeDo I need to go to church to encounter God? What if I experience divinity at the theater? Or the mountains? Or a Harry Styles concert?

Transcribe →S2E2 - Does Bad Theology Groom People for Abuse?
Jan 1, 202400:38:15Tap to summarizeThere are some troubling analogs between bad theology and the frameworks of abusive relationships. Intimidation, power, shame, and control are common aspects of both. Does fundamentalist theology lay the groundwork for abusive human relationships? How can we detect abusive themes in the ways we talk about God, what behavior we expect from one another, and how the church treats and talks about human beings?

Transcribe →S2E1 - Trans People Are Magic
Dec 16, 202300:32:29Tap to summarizeWe're Back! After a 13 month hiatus for the holidays (oops), your token Christian Queers are back to discuss the topic on the mind of every mega church's lead pastors: what's the deal with trans people?? Our take: trans people are an intentional part of God's good creation, and the sin of transphobia is a spiritual attack on and among the church. Want Jonah and Cameron to answer your question?

Transcribe →S1E26 - Are we trash?
Nov 22, 202200:23:36Tap to summarizeWe've received a lot of troubling messages about the nature of humanity. Are we good? Bad? Worthy of God's love or worthy of damnation and torment? And how does this debate contribute to self doubt and trauma? We'll set the record straight that we think you are good - very good! And also, still capable of causing harm.

Transcribe →S1E25 - How to be a Biblical Parent
Nov 14, 202200:34:39Tap to summarizeWe're told to look to the Bible to know how to be whatever it is that God has called us to be. So if we want to be parents (or make sense of our own), can we look to the Bible to see examples of good parents? And if all if the Biblical parents are ehm ...flawed, what does it mean for us to think of God as the ultimate parent? Want Jonah and Cameron to answer your question?

Transcribe →S1E24 - What are God's Pronouns?
Nov 7, 202200:21:34Tap to summarizeWhen we talk about God, how should we refer to Him? Does She care? Do Their pronouns change or always stay the same? How does playing with language challenge us to know and love God more fully? Want Jonah and Cameron to answer your question? Email christianqueeries@gmail.com.

Transcribe →S1E23 - What is Worship?
Sep 27, 202200:26:45Tap to summarizeWorship is a word we take for granted, but means many thing to us. Is it music? Attending a church service? Is it adoration or reverence? A feeling, an act, or a choice? Want Jonah and Cameron to answer your question? Email christianqueeries@gmail.com. Christian Queeries is presented by Zao MKE Church and produced by Wesley’s Revival.
