REIMAGINING LENT - Take Up Your Own Damn Cross

Send us Fan MailToday on the show we will talk about an often weaponized scripture against the LGBTQ community. Many times queer people are told to take up their own cross and stay in the closet. We are told that when we come out that we gave into evil and are trying to preserve our lives. However today we are going to look at a completely queer perspective of this ancient biblical passage and discover how it applies to the LGBTQ community.SUPPORT  THE SHOW: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2291916/supportMERCH FROM THE HOST: https://www.joannawhaley.com/storeHOSTS WEBSITE: https://www.joannawhaley.comREFERENCES:Lutheran Study Bible, New Revised Standard Version (Minneapolis, MN, Augsburg Press, 2009) Mark 16:24-27, Phillipans 2:5.
