Life on Side B

S3E25 | Scott on Being Gay and Catholic (w/ Grant)

As we promised earlier in the season, Scott Herr is joining Grant to talk about being gay and Catholic as we were unable to include a Catholic voice in the Faith Tradition Diversity episode. Scott shares about his experience converting to Catholicism and how his sexual identity and faith relate to each other within the framework of Catholicism.

S3E24 | Johana-Marie and Shelby on Racial Inclusion in Side B (w/ Sarah)

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.

S3E20 | Adrian on Side B in Hungary (w/ Bekah and Christian)

This is the last episode for the season on Side B globally and Bekah is talking with Adrian who lives with Hungary. Christian Johnston is also back and sharing from his experience as an American who lived in Poland. They discuss Adrian's experience as a British gay man living in Hungary, how the sexuality discussion looks in different parts of Europe compared to North America, and much more.

S3E19 | Greg on No Longer Strangers (w/ Henry, Grant, and Josh)

Greg Coles is back on the podcast and he is talking with Henry, Grant, and Josh about his new book - No Longer Strangers. This episode was delightful!

S3E18 | Lucas on Side B in Brazil (w/ Josh and Ashley)

In this week's episode, Josh and Ashley are talking with Lucas about his experience of being Side B in Brazil.
