We are getting close to the end of season 3. Sarah is talking with Johana-Marie and Shelby about their experience of faith, sexuality, and gender as queer black women. Each of these wisdom has amazing wisdom in what they share.
 
Johana-Marie mentions an article called "Black is My Gender" by Hari Ziyad. Here is the link to check it out: https://afropunk.com/2017/07/my-gender-is-black/

S3E23 | Gregg and Michelle on Being Side B in Secular Work Environments (w/ Sarah)

Gregg Webb is back with us, joined as well by his long time friend Michelle. As we talked about being Side B in ministry in our last episode, it seemed only fitting to talk about what it is like being Side B outside vocational ministry. Sarah talks with Gregg and Michelle about what it is like to navigate sexuality and faith in their work environments.

S3E22 | Anderson on Being Queer in Ministry (w/ Bekah)

The Brilliant Bee Patrons chose another episode topic and the winner was: Being Queer in Ministry. So today, Bekah is talking with Anderson McGee about his experience as an out bisexual pastor. Does being in vocational ministry make it easier or harder to be Side B? Anderson has been Co-Pastor, with his wife Sarah, of Trinity Family Midtown since December 2016 and co-Executive Director of Love Wins.:LGBT - a ministry of Trinity Family Midtown Church of the Nazarene, making Christ-like disciples in the LGBTQ+ Community by engaging the culture and equipping the Church.

S3E21 | Lo and Lesli on Trans Inclusion

Lesli Hudson-Reynolds is back as a guest cohost and talking with Lo about trans* inclusion. For this episode, we wanted to have a discussion with only trans voices and without the necessity to "cis-splain". This means we gave Lesli and Lo the freedom to talk about whatever they would like to discuss without needing to explain or define anything for cisgender listeners. If you would like an episode to listen to as an introduction to the trans conversation, we recommend going back and listening to S1E6 | Lesli on Being Genderqueer.
