We are wrapping up Season 2 on Thriving instead of Surviving though we still have our Spanish episode to come. At the first ever B Chats event two weeks ago on November 14th, the cohost team recorded our Season 2 review and had a blast looking over the past year, discussing what we learned on thriving, as well as sharing exciting news about things to come in Season 3.

It has been a bit since we released an episode and that is because Josh has been on a road trip and behind on the podcast. We are back today with a new episode though! Mary and Josh are talking with Kat LaPrairie about abiding in Christ and what that looks like for us as LGBT+ Christians.
At the end of the episode, Mary mentions an episode of Theology in the Raw which Kat did with Preston Sprinkle. You can hear that episode at https://www.prestonsprinkle.com/theology-in-the-raw/2019/9/9/756-a-transgender-christians-journey-with-jesus-kat-laprairie
Also, Josh mentioned a podcast episode that impacted him on "slowdown spirituality." It is "Unhurry and Culture with John Mark Comer" on the Food Trucks in Bablyon podcast. You can listen to it at https://podcast.westernseminary.edu/episodes/unhurry-and-culture

This is an exciting one for me (Josh) because we are having a fellow Side B podcaster here on with us today...Laurie Krieg. Grant and I are talking with Laurie about doubt and how to deal with it. Is there anything good God can do through our doubt? We also talk to Laurie about her new book coming out in October 2020 called Impossible Marriage and the experience of doubt she explains about in the book. You can pre-order Impossible Marriage now at www.impossiblemarriage.com and join their launch team to get extra bonus materials.

Today, Grant and Josh are talking with Pieter Valk from EQUIP about his talk at Revoice20 this year on theology during the Pastors and Leaders Seminar of the conference. We talk about different feedback he has gotten from his talk and how we can approach theology on sexuality that helps LGBT+ Christians to thrive in our churches. If you haven't listened to Pieter's talk at Revoice and you are listening on the day this publishes, go to revoice.us and sign up to listen today because starting September 1st it will no longer be available.
If you would like to communicate with Pieter, you can do so by emailing him at pieter@equipyourcommunity.org.

On August 6th, we held the first LIVE episode of the podcast over zoom with some old friends and new ones. We were joined by Meredith and Bridget as well as Darren Calhoun and Sarah Abbey, who are on the podcast for their first time. They came on to answer questions from a live audience and it was a very rich discussion. It was so good that we had to separate the conversation into two episodes.
A Note From Bridget: "In talking about colorism, I was trying to communicate the ways in which race gets erased from the conversation in many Latin American countries and how colorism plays into that equation, favoring lighter skin tones to darker. My wording wasn't the best, however, and runs the risk of communicating that Black and Indigenous people don't exist in Latin America. To clarify, Black and Indigenous people exist up and down Latin America! Their existence and experiences often get erased, however, and colorism often plays into that reality."
