  • The State of LGBTQ Lives: Where We Are, What’s Coming, and How We Love Forward in 2026

    The State of LGBTQ Lives: Where We Are, What’s Coming, and How We Love Forward in 2026
    Jan 7 2026

    As we step into a new year, we name the truth of this moment for LGBTQ+ lives and rights — without panic, without denial, and without losing hope.

    We talk about what’s happening now, what 2026 may bring, and how we respond with courage, clarity, and love.

    This episode is for LGBTQ+ people, parents, allies, and anyone who refuses to let fear dictate the future.

    We unpack the political landscape, the shifts happening inside faith communities, the fierce resilience of LGBTQ+ youth, and the real, practical ways each of us can show up — for ourselves, for our families, and for the generations coming next.

    This is not a warning. It’s a roadmap.

    A reminder that you are not powerless — and an invitation to love boldly in 2026.

  • Do Christians know it's Christmastime at all?

    Do Christians know it's Christmastime at all?
    Dec 17 2025

    This Christmas, we ask a haunting question: Do Christians know it’s Christmas time at all?

    When the loudest voices in Christianity celebrate the birth of Jesus while ignoring everything he taught — feeding the hungry, welcoming the immigrant, loving without condition — something’s gone terribly wrong.

    In this episode, we take an honest, sometimes snarky, always heartfelt look at how Christian nationalism and ultra-right beliefs miss the very heart of Christmas. We’ll talk about the hypocrisy, the fruit of those beliefs, and what it really means to live out the radical love of Jesus in our world today.

    Because Christmas isn’t about power, control, or culture wars. It’s about love. Real, Jesus-shaped love.

  • Christmas Lemon Trees & Blackberries

    Christmas Lemon Trees & Blackberries
    Dec 10 2025

    Today, since Christmas is coming up, we will talk about lemons and blackberries.

    I know, I know – what does THAT have to do with Christmas?

    I want to tell you a couple of stories from my life that involved lemons and blackberries, and what I learned about abundance.

    At this time of year, when we all make our lists of things we want, and of things to give, maybe it is the perfect time to really understand abundance.

    This is going to be fun and sweet... cause, you know, blackberries! Yum.
