Bible: 1 Samuel 18:1-4
"When David had finished speaking to Saul, the soul of Jonathan was bound to the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul. Saul took him that day and would not let him return to his father’s house. Then Jonathan made a covenant with David, because he loved him as his own soul. Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that he was wearing, and gave it to David, and his armor, and even his sword and his bow and his belt."
(New Revised Standard Version)
In this episode, we discuss the story of David and Jonathan, and ways that queer people can reclaim their Christianity. We also hear personal stories from queer Christians about how they returned to their faith after experiences of exclusion and prejudice.
Thank you to our guests this week, including Ruby Almeida, Reverend Deon Johnson, Reverend Florentino Cordova, Reverend Tim Schaefer, Reverend Altagracia Perez-Bullard, Reverend Jeanelle Ablola, and Reverend M Jade Kaiser.
