Happy Pride Month!!! This Week we kick off Pride 2024 with the release of Joanna's new song "Out of My Head". We discuss how high control religion tries to keep us in the closet threatening that our "greatness" is contingent on our "straightness". Join us to kick off Pride Month 2024 with a new song and in depth conversation about Pride and living free.

Reflecting on the HANDS OFF RALLIES 30:00

för 2 dagar sedan30:00

30:00

Send us a text Today on the show I share my experience of confronting the dissonance between outward displays of political support and the lived reality of LGBTQ+ individuals in my community. The prevalence of "Trump swag" created a false sense of security, while conversations with fellow LGBTQ+ people revealed shared experiences of religious-based prejudice and the ever-present threat of conversion therapy. Join me as I explore the importance of staying vigilant and active in the fight for equality, even when hate seems to be winning. The "Hands Off" rallies serve as a reminder that we must never give up, and that solidarity within the LGBTQ+ community is essential in the face of ongoing discrimination.

Trans Day of Visibility & The Bible 30:00

för 9 dagar sedan30:00

30:00

Send us a text This week, as we honor Trans Day of Visibility, we're diving deep into Psalm 51:10-12. These verses, a plea for renewal and restoration, resonate powerfully with the journey of trans and queer individuals. 'Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.' We'll discuss how this ancient text speaks to the profound experience of aligning one's inner self with their outward expression. We'll explore how the prayer for a 'steadfast spirit' and the restoration of 'joy' can be a source of strength and affirmation for trans people and their allies. Join us as we reflect on the beauty of authentic identity, and the divine call to embrace our true selves. We will be talking about how God's love is with all of us, and how that love helps us to be our true selves.

MAGA & Queer folks worshipping together? 30:00

för 16 dagar sedan30:00

30:00

Send us a text This week, we're focusing on the parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector from Luke 18:9-14, and exploring it through a queer theological lens. Who are we in this story? Are we the Pharisee, boasting of our righteousness and judging others, or are we the tax collector, standing in our vulnerability and seeking mercy? For queer folks, this parable resonates deeply. We know what it's like to be judged, to be told we're "other," to be excluded from sacred spaces. But we also know the power of humility, of acknowledging our broken systems, and of finding God in them. We'll delve into how this parable speaks to the queer experience of living authentically, of finding spiritual connection in the face of judgment, and of valuing vulnerability over performative piety. We'll also reflect on a prayer that emphasizes humility and love, urging us to move beyond religious labels and embody grace in our actions SUPPORT THE SHOW: https://www.joannawhaley.com/donate MERCH FROM THE HOST: https://www.joannawhaley.com/store GET SUPPORT: https://www.joannawhaley.com/support Support the show…

Bigots have received their reward 30:00

för 23 dagar sedan30:00

30:00

Send us a text This week, we're diving into Matthew 6:16-18, but we're looking at it through a queer lens. Jesus talks about fasting and how it shouldn't be a performance for others, but a deeply personal act of connection with the Divine. How often are we pressured to perform our faith, or even our identities, for the approval of others? How often are we told that our authentic selves, our "hidden" selves, are somehow less worthy? We'll explore how this passage speaks to the queer experience of living authentically, of finding spiritual connection in the face of judgment, and of valuing the quiet, internal work of faith over outward displays. We'll also reflect on a prayer that encourages us to find God in the "hidden places," reminding us that our true selves, our queer selves, are sacred and seen SUPPORT THE SHOW: https://www.joannawhaley.com/donate MERCH FROM THE HOST: https://www.joannawhaley.com/store GET SUPPORT: https://www.joannawhaley.com/support Support the show…

Are People Queer Because of "Sin"? 33:29

för 30 dagar sedan33:29

33:29

Send us a text In this episode, we dive deep into the harmful theological concepts weaponized against LGBTQ+ individuals, including the notion that we are “born sinful” and how that narrative has been used to silence and marginalize queer identities. I share my personal journey, from enduring years of Conversion Therapy to confronting misguided spiritual ideologies that reinforce heteronormative views and oppressive beliefs. We explore how certain religious doctrines, like atonement theory, have historically positioned LGBTQ+ people as victims of both societal and spiritual aggression. Plus, we look at how toxic masculinity in Christian teachings influences perceptions of transgender women and restricts their roles within faith communities. Join me as we challenge these harmful ideas and begin to reshape a more inclusive and loving view of humanity and spirituality. It's time to break free from shame and embrace the divine truth of our full, authentic selves.

The Appropriation of Freedom 34:19

Send us a text In this episode, we dive deep into a thought-provoking exploration of societal and spiritual decline, beginning with a powerful passage from Isaiah 1:21-23. The prophet's lamentation over a "faithful city" turned into a "prostitute" offers a striking parallel to America's own struggles with justice, righteousness, and corruption. How have we gone from a society built on ideals of justice to one where "rulers are rebels" and “partners with thieves”? Join us for a conversation that connects ancient wisdom with modern-day struggles and challenges us to reflect on where we’ve gone wrong—and how we might find our way back.
