Father Kearns was a former fundamentalist who became the first openly transgender man ordained in the Old Catholic priesthood. He believes in the transformative power of story and has made it his life's work to explore the intersection of theology, church life, and creativity. Father Kearns grew up in a rural area in the 80s and 90s when access to information and language around gender identity was limited. He struggled with his own gender dysphoria but didn't have the words to express it or anyone to know how to talk about it. As a result, he felt a sense of isolation and had to form his identity in a vacuum. This experience of not being able to name himself was alienating and made him feel like he was the only one in the world. It's a reason he became a writer and storyteller. As he began to question his faith and re-examine his relationship with scripture, Father Kearns found it helpful to read books from theologians who were doing theology from a very particular place and were naming the place they were doing it from. He found this approach to be eye-opening and it helped him to better understand the context in which the Bible was written and how different lenses can affect how we read and interpret scripture. Topics covered in this episode: • Challenges of Identity Formation for Gender Minorities • Puberty, Purity Culture & Gender Dysphoria • Grappling with sexuality and sadness • Leaving church communities. asking questions, and finding a new spiritual home • Questioning evangelical doctrines and discovering older faith traditions • Dispensationalism & Getting Left Behind • Passion for scripture, going to seminary, and getting educated in church history • How to read and understand the Bible with a beginner's mindset • John Dominic Crossan (Historian) and Marcus Borg (Pastor) • On reading theology from different marginalized perspectives • Empowering passages for LGBTQ+ Christians • The power of reading in community (and seeing texts differently) About Father Shannon T.L. Kearns: Father Shannon Kearns is the co-founder of QueerTheology.com. His first book "In the Margins: A Transgender Man's Journey With Scripture (https://www.queertheology.com/in-the-margins/) " was just released from Eerdmaan's books. He started and led Uprising Theatre Company for 6 years. Shannon is a Humanitas New Voices Fellow for 2022 and was a recipient of the Playwrights' Center Jerome Fellowship in 20/21 and he was a Lambda Literary Fellow for 2019 (in playwriting) and 2022 (in screenwriting) and a Finnovation Fellow for 2019/2020.

If you've got a lot going on and prioritizing is tricky, while at the same time you also often find yourself avoiding the tasks you've planned to do, I hope you'll enjoy this consult call with Brian G. Murphy. Because I know Brian from before, we don't spend much time talking about background stuff during this call, which differs a little bit from my usual consult calls – but I hope this give a good sense of what it's like to hop on a call with me. During a consult, we dive into what's happening so that you can understand what's actually behind the challenges you're facing, because only then can we start coming up with solutions and action steps that address that challenge. We covered: - what procrastination and avoiding tasks could be a symptom of - how not being clear on what to work on, or seeing too much on your to-do list, can cause you to "do nothing" all day (even when you'd have plenty to catch up on) - two possible ways Brian could plan his tasks for the day/week - how having less on the to-do list often ends up resulting in more tasks done (than staring at a long to-do list) - worries about picking too much onto the daily to-do list (but also worrying about things falling through the cracks if the list is too short) - concerns with themed days, especially what to do if the schedule gets thrown off track - honoring a task you've intended to do, but don't have time for - how a weekly structure doesn't have to remain the same forever; it can evolve as you and your business evolve Brian on IG: https://www.instagram.com/thisisbgm/ A previous consult call episode 074 with Kinsey Streib: https://jennahellberg.com/episodes/074-coaching-call-feel-guilt-when-life-distracts-you-from-business My productivity ecosystem summary: https://jennahellberg.com/ecosystem Grab a screenshot of the episode and share/say Hei on IG: https://www.instagram.com/thejennahellberg Find current free resources here: https://jennahellberg.com/resources Check out my services: https://jennahellberg.com Want to leave me a note?

What might the Biblical story of Jacob's relationship with Esau look like if we examined it through the lens of generational trauma dating all the way back to Isaac on the altar? Or how might the story of Joseph resonate if we thought about it in context to Jacob's relationship with his mom?  These are but a few of the stories Shannon T.L. Kearns examines in his book: "In the Margins: A Transgender Man's Journey with Scripture." In this book Shannon takes the reader through his life story to this point and compares key moments with classic bible stories you may be familiar with. Listeners, this episode was a treat for me. Having double majored in both Theology and Theatre I was thrilled to read these classic stories with a fresh perspective and I know you'll be eager to hear Shannon's perspectives! Enjoy!

He's lived in them his whole life. And while his experience as a transgender man has often made it difficult for him to fit in—especially in the context of Christianity—it has also shaped his perspective in important ways on complicated, gender-transgressing aspects of theology and Scripture.  In the Margins weaves stories from Shannon's life into reflections on well-known biblical narratives—such as Jacob wrestling with the divine, Rahab and the Israelite spies, Ezekiel and the dry bones, and the transfiguration of Jesus. In each chapter, Shannon shows how stories have helped him make sense of his own identity, and how those same stories can unlock the transformative power of faith for those willing to listen with an open mind and stand alongside him in the in-between.   Make sure to check out the NEW Dtalkspodcast.com website!

In this episode of T Time, we introduce you to our fourth fabulous PRIDE Month guest, Bobbi! Bobbi is a 65-year-old nonbinary, gender-fluid trans woman who offers a unique perspective regarding gender and gender identity. She came out approximately 14 years ago, and has been on hormone therapy for about a year and a half, providing us with an invaluable perspective on starting one's transition later in life. This week, we also work with Bobbi to break the gender binary through developing a deeper understanding of gender fluidity, while simultaneously acknowledging the concept of gender existing on a spectrum.  Additionally, Bobbi's passion and deep connection to her Christian faith offers a wholesome and hopeful perspective for trans and LGBTQIA+ folx who might be struggling with their own religious faith. If you have any questions you'd like us to address, or if you have an Alex story submission, please feel free to message our Facebook/Instagram accounts (@ttimepodcast2021), or head to our website to submit that way: https://beaushaniuk.wixsite.com/ttimepodcast2021. Resources from Bobbi: Books Queers the Word: A 40 Day Devotional for LGBTQ Christians by Brian G Murphy & Shannon TL KearnsQueer Theology by Lynn Marie Townsend Beyond Magenta: Transgender Teens Speak Out by Susan KuklinBible, Gender, Sexuality: Reframing the Church's Debate on Same-Sex Relationships by James V.

Brian G. Murphy from Queer Theology joins us to continue talking about Deuteronomy and tells us his favorite passage from the book. We discuss how difficult it is to come to terms with the idea that what we think the Bible means is often different from what it what it says and why it's important to continuously challenge ourselves to read from a different perspective than our own.

Today we're joined by Brian G. Murphy, co-founder of Queer Theology, who prompts us to look at some of what we're reading from a different perspective. There's some intense political god propaganda but also a reminder to take care of people who might look or believe differently from us. Hoofed mammals are a common theme, and Drunk Bible Study might have started to write a new Christmas Carol...If you want MORE drinking and bible-ing, including bonus episodes, interviews with experts, fun mini series’, and more, consider becoming a ‘parishioner’ at Patreon.com/DrunkBibleStudy Our theme music is Book Club by Josh and Anand.The song for the book of Deuteronomy is “Truth in the Stones” by Kevin McLeod (incompetech.com).

Polyamory and non-monogamy is a conversation that isn't happening in Christian circles and is seen by many as taboo. But it's a conversation we desperately need. Brian G. Murphy of QueerTheology.com joins me today to talk about Poly and Christianity, and how non-monogamy has served him and his partner in their walk as Christians. ...
