  • Transgender Day of Remembrance
    Nov 19 2025

    This episode is different. It’s sacred.

    The Transgender Day of Remembrance is a day to honor and remember the transgender people whose lives were stolen by violence, hatred, and neglect.

    We wish we didn’t need a day like this. We wish the world were already safe and affirming for our trans family and friends. But the reality is, many lives are lost each year—and too often, those lives are ignored, erased, or dismissed.

    So today, we stop. We pause. We remember. We honor.

  • What the Bible Does & Does Not Say About Transgender People
    Nov 12 2025

    You are talking about this and then it happens: someone pulls out a Bible verse and declares that God is against transgender people.

    You’ve heard it from pulpits, from politicians, maybe from your own family.

    But, Beloved, here’s the truth: the Bible does NOT say what these people claim it does. In fact, what the Bible does say about this is actually fully affirming!

    So today, we dig in and set the record straight about what the Bible doesn’t say, what it does say, and why this matters so much right now!

  • How Anti-Transgender Rhetoric Harms Everyone
    Nov 5 2025

    Politicians and pundits have made trans rights one of their top wedge issues. They stir up outrage, and push legislation designed to divide, distract, and control.

    We’ve all seen it: bills banning gender-affirming care, bathroom access, policing pronouns, especially in state legislations. Leaders pushing them claim it’s about “protecting children” or “upholding values.”

    But, it’s not! This is about consolidating power through fear.

    And while trans people feel the sting of this, the harm doesn’t stop with them. It ripples outward, touching every one of us.

    Because when anti-trans rhetoric spreads, it erodes compassion, truth, and freedom—for everyone.
