Last week, we talked about healing—the kind that doesn't just change us, but changes the world. The healing that makes us more kind, more loving, more empathetic.But here's the truth: while we're doing this sacred work, there is a battle raging around us. A relentless stream of fear, attacks, and psychological warfare designed to wear us down, to make us give up hope.So how do we stand strong in the middle of all that? How do we keep our hearts from breaking under the weight of it?Today, I have a story for you. It's not just powerful—it's one of the most powerful stories I've ever heard about finding courage, resilience, and unshakable love in the face of fear.

From fearing sport to becoming one of Australia's most decorated para-athletes, Julie Charlton's journey is nothing short of extraordinary

This week we continue our journey through the book of Ephesians. In Chapter 4 Paul shifts gears from the understanding of who we are in Christ to what we do now as new creations in Christ. Paul's attention is focused on unity within the community of believers as an expression of the love of God.  How will such a diverse group of people hold onto unity and continue to love one another in the likeness of Christ? This is not possible in our own strength and understanding, therefore grace gifts were given to the church to empower us to love another and to pursue good deeds. To support the ministry of Melbourne Inclusive Church go to: www.michurch.org.au/give Melbourne Inclusive Church boldly and proudly proclaims Christ's equal love for all people regardless of their ability, socio-economic status, sexual orientation, age, gender, race, ethnicity, or culture.Melbourne Inclusive Church is part of the EMI Global family of churches.

Jo Jo Siwa BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.JoJo Siwa has turned the past week into a biographical highlight reel worthy of any modern pop culture icon. Right as September wraps up, she launched her much-anticipated new single Infinity Heart, the title track for her upcoming Infinity Heart Tour which opens in Dublin on September 29 and rolls through Europe with sold-out shows. Attitude Magazine spotlighted the release and the meaning behind it, with JoJo sharing on Instagram how the motif, rooted in her work for childhood cancer, is a symbol for her new chapter. She called the song a return to the creative, candid mentality of her youth, stating Infinity Heart is about enduring and growing through every twist of life.The streaming numbers on Infinity Heart are already strong, surfing atop her recent hits Bette Davis Eyes—which drew both chart love and critique from the original artist Kim Carnes via a TMZ interview for its striking similarity—and Raspy, which went viral across TikTok and Instagram. Social media buzz continued as fans speculated about JoJo's romance with Love Island's Chris Hughes, sparked by her open public displays of affection and a burst of wedding rumors that TMZ and CNN have covered, hinting a winter wedding could be in the cards though there's no formal confirmation.JoJo also surprised fans this week by crashing the Dancing With the Stars ballroom floor for a spontaneous moonwalk with Sasha Farber during a commercial break, a moment reported by Parade and AOL that lit up entertainment feeds and reminded everyone of her history-making partnership with Jenna Johnson in 2021. She called the show “home” in a quick interview, with fan comments lighting up Whiting's Instagram reel praising her energy and connection to dance.Biographically, JoJo continues to explore and redefine herself publicly. During a live Big Brother UK stream this week, as reported by AOL, she discussed shifting her sexual identity label from lesbian to queer, emphasizing how the show inspired her to reconsider and become more comfortable with uncertainty around gender identity. Viewers saw her emotional honesty, admitting she now feels most aligned with nonbinary people but isn't ready for public declarations—an evolution noticed by both fans and LGBTQ+ outlets online. She maintains a high-profile relationship with Chris Hughes, and several outlets including CNN have noted things are "going great" between them.JoJo's business activities are going at full throttle. Alongside a blitz of endorsements and media partnerships, she participated in a sweet on-air reunion with Abby Lee Miller on Access Daily last week at Universal's Epic Universe in Orlando. They shared mutual respect and nostalgia for Dance Moms days—a touchstone moment for legacy fans and a trending topic on TikTok and Threads.Online, JoJo keeps fueling conversation. Her Instagram and Threads are brimming with Infinity Heart promotions, personal reflections, and high engagement. With fans dissecting every lyric and emoji, her follower base seems as strong as ever, hungry for both new music and headline drama. No major controversies have surfaced in the last few days, aside from minor dustups around musical authenticity and continuous speculation about her personal life—none with lasting impact. All signs point to JoJo Siwa riding a wave of sustained cultural influence, cementing her place as an ever-evolving star.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

What does the Bible have to say about living in community? Well, turns out, quite a lot! By looking at the "One Another" passages, guest speaker Kathleen highlights themes that are repeated throughout the New Testament that outline how we should be treating each other; serving, edifying, forgiveness and humility, unity and love. We see that when we follow God's blueprint for living together well, we cultivate a community that supports and loves its members, including ourselves!To support the ministry of Melbourne Inclusive Church go to: www.michurch.org.au/giveMelbourne Inclusive Church boldly and proudly proclaims Christ's equal love for all people regardless of their ability, socio-economic status, sexual orientation, age, gender, race, ethnicity, or culture.Melbourne Inclusive Church is part of the EMI Global family of churches.

This episode was first shared in 2024, and here's what I had to say: I know there's always the risk with this show of completely romanticising queer spaces as these glistening oasis' of tolerance and acceptance.But, that's really not the case - despite how wonderful and freeing they can be, they can also be a bit shitty and exclusionary. And I was reminded of that this week when I sat down to talk to talk to Andrew Gurza, who is a disability awareness consultant and activist, as well as being the host of the Disability After Dark podcast. We caught up to discuss The Edge, which was a gay bar in Ottawa, Canada, and held so much promise for Andrew but pretty much failed to deliver. But, that's not to say that this is a totally depressing episode. That Andrew is one horny guy, and he seems to have mastered the art of turning every conversation into one about blow jobs, so penises and giggling come up a lot, as well as the despair we both feel about mainstream gay male culture! So, in other words - something for everyone (?)!

Megyn Kelly is joined by Andrew Klavan, author of "After That, The Dark," to talk about the terrible corporate media coverage of the horrifying Charlotte murder story, a CNN panel ignoring the facts and making it about race, the left's attempt to spin reality on crime, how the corporate media is covering up the Charlotte story rather than covering it, Gavin Newsom using Megyn's commentary for his own false political narrative, Piers Morgan's "trans" guest having a meltdown over simply being asked what "non-binary" means, the impact of “wokeness” in our world today, Cracker Barrel's PR nightmare continuing, and more. Then Kevin Hines, author of "The Art of Wellness," joins to discuss his story of surviving a jump off the Golden Gate Bridge, how he overcame his mental health struggles, the miracle of his survival, the impact of his work to drive positive change, the essential conversations parents should have with their children, plus Megyn shares her story of how Kevin has helped her in her life. Klavan: https://store.dailywire.com/products/after-that-the-dark-cameron-winter-mysteries-book-5?Hines: https://www.instagram.com/kevinhinesstory/ ARMRA: go to https://tryarmra.com/MEGYNto get 30% off your first subscription orderJust Thrive: Visit https://justthrivehealth.com/discount/Megyn and use code MEGYN to save 20% sitewideTax Network USA: Call 1-800-958-1000 or visit https://TNUSA.com/MEGYNto speak with a strategist for FREE todayChapter: For free and unbiased Medicare help, dial 276-334-2273 or go to https://askchapter.org/kellyDisclaimer: Chapter and its affiliates are not connected with or endorsed by any government entity or the federal Medicare program.

In Chapter 3 of Paul's letter to the Ephesians we summaries the mystery which is now an open - secret being revealed. Paul's teaching reminds us that the Gospel is both mystery revealed and power experienced. It unites unlikely people, demonstrates God's wisdom, and empowers us to live differently. His prayer challenges us to seek more than individual blessings—we are called into a community that embodies God's love before the watching world, even before unseen powers. support the ministry of Melbourne Inclusive Church go to: www.michurch.org.au/give Melbourne Inclusive Church boldly and proudly proclaims Christ's equal love for all people regardless of their ability, socio-economic status, sexual orientation, age, gender, race, ethnicity, or culture.  Melbourne Inclusive Church is part of the EMI Global family of churches.

Green MP Benjamin Doyle has resigned from parliament – citing threats against them and their family as the reason behind this decision. They served as New Zealand's first non-binary member of parliament and will give their final valedictory on September 18th. The fallout from a controversial social media post followed Doyle through their time as an MP, and senior political correspondent Barry Soper says the controversy was more impactful than Doyle's time in parliament. ‘The only thing they've done is be the first non-binary person that's entered the corridors of power in parliament, and that's about it.'

Today we continue our journey through Paul's letter to the Ephesians. In Chapter 2 Paul shares two different perspectives on the inclusions of the Gentiles as children of God. Paul first addresses the cosmic perspective how the Gentiles like all other humans had been separated from God due to sin but how through Messiah Jesus they are now called childred of God. The second perspective relates to the covenant. Gentiles were far away, outsiders to the family of God but again, through Christ not only are Gentiles included in God's family but a whole new family is created in Messiah. This new family - this new way to be human includes everyone equally.To support the ministry of Melbourne Inclusive Church go to: www.michurch.org.au/give Melbourne Inclusive Church boldly and proudly proclaims Christ's equal love for all people regardless of their ability, socio-economic status, sexual orientation, age, gender, race, ethnicity, or culture.Melbourne Inclusive Church is part of the EMI Global family of churches.

Ryan is a queer, non-binary filmmaker, screenwriter and actor. They were born and raised in El Paso, Texas, but currently reside in Las Cruces, New Mexico. Rox (@imryanrox) developed their passion for filmmaking after working as an actor on multiple independent, short films. After witnessing film crews in action and learning firsthand on set, they had the notion in 2020 to write and produce their own short film, which resulted in their directorial debut - 2021's “Crawl.” Since then, Rox has written and directed three additional short films: “Quiet Hours;” the 2022 El Paso Plaza Classic Local Flavor 2nd Place Winner, "That Tingling Sensation;" and the 2022 Femme Frontera Grant Recipient and Official Selection, "Shipping Them." They're also currently in production for their first feature film, Hidden Flora, and will continue to work as a filmmaker in support of their own and others' projects. Their primary focus is on telling queer stories from a queer perspective. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

David and Brad return from their summer hiatus to survey the magnificent wreckage of American civilization, where zombie squirrels roam the land, food influencers dodge oncoming vehicles, and Democrats argue that violent crime isn't that bad.Trump continues his exhausting winning streak by actually cleaning up Washington D.C., while his legal persecutors discover the ancient art of the boomerang—turns out mortgage fraud investigations work both ways. Meanwhile, Cracker Barrel's new CEO decides the best way to honor Americana is to eliminate everything American about it, because nothing says "business genius" like alienating your entire customer base for woke points.Plus: Generation Z declares war on millennial workout pants. It's episode 298 of truth bombs, logic grenades, and the increasingly surreal reality of a nation that's forgotten how to think straight.

Esther Brownsmith (she/her) is Assistant Professor of Hebrew Bible at the University of Dayton. Her first monograph, Gendered Violence in Biblical Narrative: The Devouring Metaphor (Routledge, 2024), was awarded the AJS Jordan Schnitzer First Book Publication Award. She is also editor-in-chief of Unruly Books: Rethinking Ancient and Academic Imaginations of Religious Texts (Bloomsbury, 2025), and her recent publications examine the book of Esther in the light of fan fiction studies, queer theory, and affect theory. Her research focuses on the stories of the Hebrew Bible and the cultural and literary norms that make them so resonant. Her latest project applies Sara Ahmed's "feminist killjoy" to the women of the Hebrew Bible, using biblical stories of unhappy women as a model for modern unhappy readers.

Actually, it is NOT complicated, or confusing, or nuanced. It is really simple. The Bible IS clear: There is NO condemnation against people who are LGBTQ+ or against same-sex relationships. You are NOT the ones who need to defend your beliefs. The non-affirming church is. They ignore the truth of Scripture, and they ignore the devastating, deadly impact of their false teachings.  In this encore presentation of one of our most popular episodes, we give you a clear, simple explanation of why the Bible does NOT condemnation homosexuality.  Send us a private message. *Note: INCLUDE YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS if you'd like us to answer. :-) Support the show

What does and does not work when talking to evangelical Christians about LGBTQ issues? It can certainly be tough and frustrating. We are dealing with patriarchal, moral-majority driven false teaching. All taught with God's name attached to it – and grave consequences if you don't just fall in line. But we, like a growing number of people, were surprised when we opened that box we had God in. In this encore presentation, we talk about truly effective ways to change the hearts and minds of non-affirming Christians.Send us a private message. *Note: INCLUDE YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS if you'd like us to answer. :-) Support the show

Lou Sullivan, arguably one of the first out gay trans men, kept diaries from age 11 until his death in 1991. Decades later, Zach Ozma and Ellis Martin compiled those diaries into "We Both Laughed in Pleasure" (aka the Pink Butt Book) which tells the story of Lou's full, freaky, fascinating life. Zach and Ellis talk to us about painstakingly parsing through Lou's Catholic school cursive and learning that the trans experience is really on a historic loop. Get your copy of "We Both Laughed in Pleasure" from Nightboat Books, or request a copy at your local library. Read up, then join us for a book club discussion with Ellis & Zach by signing up on our Patreon (for just $2) and joining our Discord. Date is TBD and will be announced on Instagram!

How do we live radiantly when the world seems bent on our erasure?Today we meet Caro De Robertis and we're talking about the queer book that saved their life: Notes of a Crocodile by Qiu Miaojin, translated by Bonnie Huie.Caro's books best-selling books have Stonewall Book Awards and the Golden Poppy Octavia E. Butler Award; and, they have been finalists for the PEN/Faulkner Award, Lambda Literary Award, and the Kirkus Prize. These books include The Palace of Eros, The President and the Frog, Cantoras, The Gods of Tango, and Perla. Caro was the first openly nonbinary person to received the John Dos Passos Prize for Literature. A professor at San Francisco State University, Caro is co-curating Conjuring Power: the Roots & Futures of Queer & Trans Movements, for San Francisco's Yerba Buena Center for the Arts. It will open Spring 2026. Their newest book is So Many Stars: An Oral History of Trans, Nonbinary, Genderqueer, and Two-Spirit People of Color.Set in the post-martial-law era of late-1980s Taipei, Notes of a Crocodile is a coming-of-age story of queer misfits discovering love, friendship, and artistic affinity while hardly studying at Taiwan's most prestigious university. Told through the eyes of an anonymous lesbian narrator nicknamed Lazi, this cult classic is a postmodern pastiche of diaries, vignettes, mash notes, aphorisms, exegesis, and satire by an incisive prose stylist and major countercultural figure.Connect with Carowebsite: caroderobertis.cominstagram: @caro_derobertisOur BookshopVisit our Bookshop for new releases, current bestsellers, banned books, critically acclaimed LGBTQ books, or peruse the books featured on our podcasts: bookshop.org/shop/thisqueerbookBuy Notes of a Crocodile: https://bookshop.org/a/82376/9781681370767Buy So Many Stars: An Oral History of Trans, Nonbinary, Genderqueer, and Two-Spirit People of Color: https://bookshop.org/a/82376/9781643756875Become an Associate Producer!Become an Associate Producer of our podcast through a $20/month sponsorship on Patreon!

This week on Sibling Rivalry, Bob and Monét ask the big question—what makes an icon? They debate whether they themselves are icons, which Drag Race queens qualify, and what makes a pop star truly iconic. Is it awards? Longevity? Star power? They explore the origins of the term EGOT, which Nobel Prize Bob is most likely to win, and whether awards are essential for icon status. They build their own metric for becoming an icon and test their knowledge of international Drag Race queens. Plus, did we meet Cynthia Erivo as a singer or an actor first and should the Grammys have a Queer or Nonbinary category?

"This was a really important step in my journey to feeling more like myself, and I'm really happy I did it." We heard from Nikki Hiltz right before they competed at the 2025 U.S. Track and Field Outdoor National Championships — and now they're back as a nine-time national champion. Fresh off winning their sixth straight U.S. 1500m title, Nikki returns to the show with their full race recap.

Love the sinner, hate the sin?? Wait, what?? It sure doesn't feel like love to those on the receiving end. You know why? It's not! It's homophobia disguised as love. Is it from the Bible or any religious text? Nope. In this encore presentation, we dive into this and set the record straight. Because "love the sinner, hate the sin" is total bullsh*t!Send us a private message. *Note: INCLUDE YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS if you'd like us to answer. :-) Support the show
