We’d love to feature your voice or question on our next episode of Asked And Answered! Questions answered in this episode: I’m trans/femine/non-binary and want to transition but am scared it’s like telling God I was a mistake. And my family is transphobic. What should I do? Do I lose everything for me, or do I suffer for others? How can I know if my fasting, prayers, and almsgiving are pleasing to God? Am I doing enough or not doing enough? Am I approaching God to be in God’s loving presence or am I motivated by my own goals and agenda or seeking attention? I know of a Christian denomination that doesn’t believe in celebrating Christmas or Easter because they think it doesn’t say you should in the Bible. What do you think? I need some help finding something in the Hebrew Bible that I know is there, but I can’t find the chapter and verse. It’s about the penalties for causing a woman to miscarry and about how they are lighter before they have “quickened”. The reason why I am asking is of course related to recent events and family arguments around them. How can we incorporate pagan and nature spirituality into our celebration of what Jesus did on the cross?
