S3E6 | Josh and Ashley on the Potential Power and Harm of Our Stories

For our first patreon chosen episode topic, our Brilliant Bee Patrons chose "the Potential Power and Harm of Our Stories". To make this episode even more special, Ashley is back after a short break. Her and Josh discuss the culture of testimonies in church and the ways stories can be weaponized against LGBT+ people as well as the ways they can be a blessing.

S3E5 | Matthew on Queerness and Identity

Sarah and Grant are sitting down with Matthew Ventura, author of the Singled Out blog, to discuss an article on his blog on LGBT+ labels and terminology. The article gives such a great perspective that the team felt it needed to be discussed.

S3E4 | Bill on Missiology

In this episode, Bekah and Josh are talking with Bill Henson, founder and creator of Posture Shift and author of Guiding Families of LGBT+ Loved Ones. Along the lines of this season's theme, the three of them talk about the importance of having a missiological perspective in ministry and how this affects the way we approach church inclusion. The episode touches on language, historic trauma, and church policy. If you are a pastor or church leader, you will definitely want to listen to this.
