Your Other Family

Welcome to Your Other Family Podcast Network! A collection of shows from the nonprofit ministry of Your Other Family, which includes our communities of Your Other Brothers and Your Other Sisters. We share authentic stories of faith, sexuality, and gender as LGBT+ or same-sex attracted people following Jesus with a historic sexual and marriage ethic, increasingly regarded as a “Side B” theology. Listen to our extensive podcast archive, explore our links below, and reach out to us any time!

Does everyone fit neatly into male and female? Where do many queer/SSA people experience an uncomfortable gender incongruence with their culture, and where do some experience a deeper gender dysphoria? Tom and Erin welcome YOF board member Jesse to share their experience as a gender minority in Your Other Brothers. We answer honest questions from our YOB+YOS members as we start a long overdue conversation with curiosity and empathy for gender minorities who are nonbinary, genderqueer, genderfluid, agender, and transgender.

Erin welcomes back Ashley and introduces Tangle for a discussion inspired by conversations from the Life on Side B and Your Other Brothers podcasts. So much can be said about queer representation in the media, especially as more queer stories have been told in the last couple years. Join us as we discuss our favorite TV shows and movies, including how queer characters have impacted them, and what we would like to see in future queer media productions. We end our episode with a lightning round of guessing the sexualities of cartoon villains from our childhood! LINKS FROM THIS EPISODE Curious about the Hays Code? Follow Erin on Letterboxd!

Ten years of the YOBcast and not a single nudity episode?! Until now. Join Tom, Ryan, Matt, and a special guest to discuss this important intersection of nudity, body image, and vulnerability with other men. How did our familial and peer upbringings shape our relationship with nudity as adults? How have we – or haven’t we – entered nude environments like doctor’s offices, locker rooms, and Korean spas? We share stories of how appropriate, non-sexual nudity has initiated deeper brotherhood, and also stories of insecurity or lack of desire to be nude with other men. Wherever you fall on this “nudity desire spectrum,” we hope this episode helps you reconsider your relationship with your own body, as well as your embodied relationships with the men around you. We also discuss Sam Allberry’s resignation and the impact on our community. LINKS FROM THIS EPISODE Sponsor a gay sheep! YOB ConvoCast 100: Tom & Ryan Tease the Topics to Come!

We’ve taken a step back with podcast production as Tom has been refocusing his efforts and part-time hours on the YOB community. With more podcasts recently recorded and coming soon, Tom also takes some time to process the Alan Chambers arrest, following the former Exodus International president’s alleged solicitation of a minor. We encourage you to feel your feelings; please reach out to us anytime. We’re with you.
