Summary

We’re gonna queer Lent in this episode, y’all! We discuss how to make Lenten practices more inclusive and meaningful for queer and trans individuals and talk about our own personal Lenten practices. We got some ideas for you on how to connect your queerness with spirituality during this season. We also get into the importance of community care, the value of queer organizations, and the significance of reading queer and trans theology. One of our biggest themes is how important it is to take care of our bodies. So it is especially important to re-inhabit and care for our bodies as part of a queer Lenten practice.   Takeaways Lent is traditionally observed as the 40 days leading up to Easter, and it is a time of fasting, prayer, and almsgiving. Queering Lent involves making the practice more inclusive and meaningful for queer and trans individuals. Additive practices, such as reading queer and trans theology or supporting queer organizations, can be incorporated into Lenten observance. Re-inhabiting and caring for our bodies is an important aspect of a queer Lenten practice.   Chapters: (02:28) Personal Lenten Practices (09:21) Queering Lent (16:16) Connecting Lent and Queerness (19:38) Additive Practices (24:08) Investing in Community (25:20) Re-inhabiting the Body (27:36) Conclusion and Plug for Sanctuary Collective Resources: Join the Sanctuary Collective Community If you want to support the Patreon and help keep the podcast up and running, you can learn more and pledge your support at patreon.com/queertheology.

Jonah & the Peacock The Liberation Project Have the Christian scriptures been weaponized against too many people to be truly redeemed? Join host Jonah Overton, a queer and trans pastor, as they and their guests break down the toxic theology and poisoned stories of the Bible that have been used to cause harm. Together, through storytelling from their own marginalized identities, they will transform the telling of these texts and reclaim them for a more inclusive, justice-oriented, & trauma-informed faith. Beyond The Block Brother Jones and Brother Knox Brother Jones and Brother Knox describe themselves as staunch advocates for the theology and harsh critics of the culture when it comes to Mormonism. A black life-long member and queer convert respectively, they bring a less heard perspective to the notoriously white and heteronormative faith. They feel their desire for justice, love, and salvation for all people, regardless of color, sex, orientation, and other identities is not only consistent with the message of Christ, but *is* the message of Christ. In that spirit, they share their thoughtful, honest, and occasionally raw and humorous take on Mormonism in an effort to shift the culture of Mormonism more into alignment with the theology of Mormonism.Proud member of the Dialogue Podcast Network: DialogueJournal.com/podcastnetworkFollow @btblds House for All Sinners & Saints House for All Sinners and Saints This podcast features the sermon delivered each Sunday to the House For All Sinners And Saints congregation in Denver, Colorado.
