POPULARITY
Today's guest is Mihee Kim-Kort, a Presbyterian minister, speaker, writer, and as she calls herself “slinger of hopeful stories about faith and church.”Mihee has been a public figure for some time now - her writing and commentary can be found in the New York Times, TIME Magazine, BBC World Service, USA Today, Huffington Post, Christian Century, On Being, and more (see her bio for the full list). In 2021 she was named one of the “21 Faith Leaders to watch.” By the Center for American Progress. She is co-pastor of First Presbyterian Church in Annapolis, Maryland and a doctoral candidate in Religious Studies at Indiana University.In addition to all that impressiveness, Mihee is also a friend of mine, a colleague in ministry, someone who's been a part of my life for a few decades. And although we don't talk enough, when we do talk, it's rich, it's fun, and while we don't shy away from going deep, we can't resist bursting into giggles along the way.Mihee and I had this conversation… I won't say how long ago. We had both just gotten over Covid. I had to exit the conversation for 5 minutes with a coughing attack. Kids and dogs continually interrupted us. (Thank goodness for editing!) Yet somehow, in the course of this conversation, we recognize the importance of the Psalms as a companion in times of sorrow and joy, a container for what we find difficult to hold, and a template for the fullest possible expression of what it means to be human – as we process our grief and as we move into resilience.In particular, I wanted to ask Mihee about a New York Times article she wrote in the aftermath of the Atlanta spa shootings in March 2021, in which 8 people were killed, 6 of whom were Asian women. In response to that terrible event, Mihee wrote an article that asks hard questions, that's courageous and prophetic. I always wondered how she did that. It turns out that reading the Psalms was part of her story.Find out more about Mihee Kim-KortIt's been a while since I posted a longform podcast!

Abbey of the Arts Lift Every Voice: Contemplative Writers of Color Book Club Christine Valters Paintner is joined by author Claudia Love Mair for a series of video conversations. Each month they take up a new book by or about a voice of color. The community is invited to purchase and read the books in advance and participate actively in this journey of deepening, discovery, and transformation. This month they are joined by author Mihee Kim-Kort to discuss her book Outside the Lines: How Embracing Queerness Will Transform Your Faith. Mihee Kim-Kort is a wife, a mom, and a Presbyterian minister. And she's queer. As she became aware of her queer sexuality, Mihee wondered what that meant for her spirituality. But instead of pushing her away from God, it brought her closer to Jesus and taught her how to love better. In Outside the Lines, Mihee shows us how God, in Jesus, is oriented toward us in a radical way. Through the life, work, and witness of Jesus, we see a God who loves us with a queer love, and our faith in that God becomes a queer spirituality–a spirituality that crashes through definitions and moves us outside of the categories of our making. Whenever we love ourselves and our neighbors with the boundary-breaking love of God, we live out this spirituality in the world. With a captivating mix of personal story and biblical analysis, Outside the Lines shows us how each of our bodies fits into the body of Christ. Outside the lines and without exceptions.

Mihee Kim-Kort is a Presbyterian minister, speaker, and author of several books including her most recent one titled, Outside the Lines: How Embracing Queerness Will Transform Your Faith. It is Mihee’s coming out story and is a beautiful book that expands our notions of what it means to be human. In the show, we talk about what it means to embody an intersection of identities, and how that impacts the way we raise our kids. We talk about what queerness does for Mihee’s faith, how it impacts the way she view gender binaries in parenting. We cover the sex talk, swearing, and other parenting-related dilemmas! I think I’ve laughed the most in this episode even as it contains some very serious and important issues. Mihee’s voice is a balm to my soul, and her ideas revolutionary to our framework of both faith and parenting. I hope you enjoy the conversation.

God is love. So, when we define love narrowly, we miss a lot of God. Thankfully, queerness can help us expand our understanding of love, and of God. Mihee Kim-Kort sat down to talk about how queerness is deeply spiritual and deeply Christian. To hear more from Mihee, make sure to check out her forthcoming book, Outside the Lines: How Embracing Queerness Will Transform Your Faith, available July 1.
