What does it really mean to be Queer and Christian? – Brandan Robertson

Today the word "Christian" is polarizing. In fact for many it conjures up words like hate, nationalism, evil, fear. WOW...it should not. Then couple that word with Queer, and you might as well be burned at the stake! Let's not do that. Instead, let's invite Queer Christians to the table to embrace their love of goad and faith, and invite others who do not believe you deserve a place at the table, to have human conversations to change that hate, to love. Repeat podcast guest, Rev. Brandan Robertson joins us today to share his new book Queer and Christian: Reclaiming The Bible, Faith, Our Faith, and Our place At The Table - a joyful celebration of queer faith. In this episode:
  • Discover calm, peaceful, empathetic conversations with the extreme Christians are necessary
  • Learn why coming to church is an act of community and activism
  • Uncover the right questions to ask to reclaim your faith in yourself and your community

About The Book Celebrate queer faith and take your rightful place at God’s table with Brandan Robertson, the “TikTok Pastor,” Biblical scholar, and social activist For too long, the Bible has been weaponized to exclude LGBTQ+ individuals, despite Jesus’ radical message of inclusion. In Queer & Christian, Brandan Robertson envisions a faith where all are unequivocally embraced. Ostracized at school, Brandan thought he had finally found his community when he joined the local church. But he soon realized that they were as intolerant as his peers at school had been—if not more so. After agonizing years of repressing his true identity, he discovered that God’s table had always had a place for him. Jesus’ love knows no bounds, embracing everyone unconditionally. Queer & Christian is a joyful celebration of queer faith and an unyielding reclamation of the Bible.
