In Week 4 of our Welcome Holy Spirit series, we explore the Fruit of the Spirit in Galatians 5 and discover that the greatest evidence of the Holy Spirit's work is not hype, performance, or outward religion — it's transformed character of Love.

Why has gender identity become such a controversial talking point in modern politics?Judith Butler, pioneering gender theorist whose changed the way we think about gender and sexuality, explores the topic of their most recent book, Who's Afraid of Gender? (March 2024). Butler offers a compelling and powerful diagnosis of the anxieties and fears that make up today's wars over gender. In this talk, Butler will explore how, despite 'gender' being the most fraught issue of our times, there is still cause for hope. This timely and timeless intervention continues to imagine new possibilities for freedom and solidarity. Judith Butler is Distinguished Professor in the Graduate School and formerly the Maxine Elliot Chair in the Department of Comparative Literature and the Program of Critical Theory at the University of California, Berkeley. They are most well-known for their ground-breaking book Gender Trouble (1990) and their theory of performativity.Don't hesitate to email us at podcast@iai.tv with your thoughts or questions on the episode!To witness such debates live buy tickets for our upcoming festival: https://howthelightgetsin.org/festivals/And visit our website for many more articles, videos, and podcasts like this one: https://iai.tv/You can find everything we referenced here: https://linktr.ee/philosophyforourtimesSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Football is the most popular sport in America. But, that love doesn't necessarily extend to athletes who aren't cisgender men. And old, out-dated attitudes about who can (and should) play football, aren't stopping athletes from making their mark on the sport. At Oakland's Laney College, there's a storm brewing… The Golden State Storm to be exact! It's the newest women's tackle football team in the Women's National Football Conference. Kris Grimes is the team's star running back. KALW's Jordan Karnes spoke to Grimes about their move to the Bay Area, and the effort to help the Storm build a competitive team.

What if the missing piece in your faith isn't effort—but power?This week MIC kicks off a 6 week series on the Holy Spirit.In this message, “The Promise of the Holy Spirit,” we explore the life-changing promise Jesus made the night before the cross: that we would not be left alone. The Holy Spirit—God's very presence—was given to every believer to bring guidance, transformation, and power for everyday life.Why does the early church look so different from today? And what would it mean to truly live with the Spirit's presence and power?This sermon unpacks:-The promise Jesus made in John 14-Who the Holy Spirit really is (not an “it,” but a person)-What the Spirit gives: presence in every moment and power for every challenge-Practical ways to grow in awareness, listening, and spiritual strengthIf your faith has ever felt stagnant, distant, or routine—this is an invitation to something deeper. You were never meant to do life alone.The Spirit is here.

Religion is wrong, you are not broken. You are beloved. A viral meme claimed your smallest sin is “infinitely offensive” to a holy God — but don't worry, Jesus covers you.We're calling that what it is: spiritual shame dressed up as devotion.In this episode, we dismantle the idea that you're a cosmic disappointment and reclaim a deeper truth:You were never vile.You were never a liability.You are already beloved.The truth is, when God looks at you, when God sees you, you are perfect.Send us a private message. *Note: INCLUDE YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS if you'd like us to answer. :-) Support the show
The Great Commandment & The Great CommissionWhat happens when the joy of following Jesus meets the call to go?In this message, we explore the powerful connection between the Great Commandment—loving God and loving people—and the Great Commission—going and making disciples. These aren't separate ideas; they are deeply intertwined. When love is the foundation, sharing our faith becomes a natural overflow, not a heavy obligation.If you've ever felt unsure, awkward, or overwhelmed about sharing your faith, you're not alone. The first disciples felt it too. But Jesus' encouragement remains the same: trust Him, live with intention, and let love lead the way.In this sermon, we unpack:-What it really means to “go” in everyday life-How to walk alongside others in authentic discipleship-Why love is the driving force behind mission-Practical, natural ways to share your faith without pressure-This message is an invitation to shift from fear to freedom—to see people as people, not projects, and to trust God with the outcome.This week's challenge: Think of one person.

What happens when a former White House policy nerd realizes the real work of culture change isn't in politics? Let's find out! In this episode, we chat with Rhodes Perry, social entrepreneur, author of Imagine Belonging, and founder of Rhodes Perry Consulting, for a thoughtful, grounding conversation about what it takes to build belonging at work when the ground keeps shifting under all of us. We dig into why the epidemic of loneliness at work is a business risk most leaders aren't tracking, why Rhodes welcomes diversity of thought but draws a hard line at diversity of respect, how somatic leadership and nervous system regulation are becoming essential skills for leading through chaos, and what it means to support trans, non-binary, and gender diverse colleagues when just existing feels targeted. Rhodes also shares how burnout cracked him open five years into building his company, why he made unapologetic trans joy a personal commitment, and why the leaders we've been underestimating the longest are the ones this moment is calling for. It's one of those conversations where we left feeling steadier and a little more hopeful, and we think you will too!

On this day, 22 April 1944, 200 young Black people, mostly students at Howard University, held a sit-in demonstration at Thompson's, a segregated restaurant in Washington DC – where Jim Crow laws were not in effect but segregation by custom existed. After effectively slashing the number of paying customers, the restaurant was ordered by its headquarters to begin serving Black customers. The University, in fear of losing federal grants, subsequently directed its students to cease direct action and Thompson's promptly restored segregation. One of the key organisers of the action was Pauli Murray, pictured, a young student and activist, who identified as part male and part female, and whose romantic relationships were with women.More information, sources and map: https://stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/9444/thompson's-cafeteria-sit-inOur work is only possible because of support from you, our listeners on patreon.

What if you're not as powerless as you feel?In this message, we move beyond knowing about spiritual authority… and learn how to actually walk in it every day. Too often, we leave inspired on Sunday—but by Monday, doubt creeps back in. This sermon is about changing that.Discover how:-The cross was more than forgiveness—it was a legal victory over darkness-You already have authority over the enemy, sickness, and lies-Prayer and God's Word activate real power in your life-Faith, relationship, and integrity unlock your authoritySpeaking truth, resisting the enemy, and interceding can transform lives.You are not a victim of your circumstances—you are an ambassador of Christ, carrying His authority into the world.It's time to stop waiting to feel powerful… and start walking in the power you've already been given.Watch now and step into your authority.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.

Damian Pelliccione joined me in The Locher Room to discuss the journey behind Revry, the first global queer-owned streaming platform. Damian shared how the idea for Revry was sparked while watching an Apple keynote and how that lightbulb moment led to building a platform focused on LGBTQ+ storytelling and visibility.We talked about Damian's path from actor to entrepreneur, the early scrappy launch of Revry during San Francisco Pride, and why distribution, marketing, and accessibility became central to the company's strategy.Damian also reflected on coming out as Non-Binary during the pandemic, the responsibility that comes with being visible as a leader in media, and the importance of creating spaces where diverse stories can thrive.The conversation also explored the growing “rainbow economy,” the real business case for inclusive media, and the excitement surrounding the drag king competition series King of Drag.It was a thoughtful discussion about leadership, identity, storytelling, and building something that didn't previously exist.
What happens after the resurrection?In this message, we explore the moment when Jesus appears to His disciples and says, “As God has sent me, I am sending you.” This is more than a command—it's a calling backed by divine authority.Too often, believers live beneath what God has already given them. But the truth is: we are not just saved—we are sent.In week 1 of this sermon series we begin to unpack:What the Great Commission really means for your daily lifeThe source of our authority (hint: it's not us)How the Holy Spirit empowers us to live boldlyOur authority over sin, fear, and the enemyHow prayer, worship, and service keep us connected to ChristJesus didn't rise just to be remembered—He rose to be lived out through us.The question isn't whether you have authority…It's whether you'll walk in it.Listen now and step into the life God has already called and equipped you for.

We've been told for years: be the resistance.But what if that's why so many people fighting for love and inclusion feel exhausted?Inspired by a talk from Glennon Doyle, this episode flips the whole idea:We are not the resistance. We are the river.The current of belonging has always been moving — widening across history no matter who tried to stop it. Our role isn't just to argue or brace against the world… it's to step into that flow, find our place in it, and live the kind of life that invites others into the water too.Joy isn't a distraction from advocacy. It's one of its most powerful tools.Because fear can demand compliance — but only love creates movement.Send us a private message. *Note: INCLUDE YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS if you'd like us to answer. :-) Support the show
What if Easter isn't just about an empty tomb—but a living hope that changes everything?From the empty tomb in John 20 to Jesus' bold declaration in John 11, discover how resurrection is not just an event—but a person.Jesus didn't just bring life… He is life.Eternal life isn't just future—it begins now.Death is not the end, but a doorway to something greater.This sermon unpacks the deep truth that our hope is not wishful thinking—it's grounded in the resurrection of Christ. Whether you're exploring faith or seeking renewed perspective, this message invites you to encounter the life, love, and promise found in Jesus.Do you believe?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.

In this episode, Danielle Gill dives into the disturbing statements of Democrat nominee for U.S. Senate in Texas, James Talarico. He hides being a faux Christianity and attempts to use the Bible to defend his radical views on abortion, LGBTQ issues, and open border policies that he calls a “welcome mat.” There is certainly no shortage to talk about.

People can't give what they don't have, and many people simply don't have approval to give. But remember, this has nothing to do with you. When faced with the rejection and disapproval of others, it's important to separate your well-being from someone else's approval. It's just their opinion, and it doesn't have to mean anything to you. It's not about your worth in any way whatsoever, it is about but their lack of approval, and the fears and false teachings that fuel that.How can we break free from the approval of others?Send us a private message. *Note: INCLUDE YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS if you'd like us to answer. :-) Support the show
Jonny welcomes Heather back from complications with a routine operation removing a kidney stone. They dive right into the hot mess that is the war/not war with Iran, noting the slipperyness of the Administration in sticking with or abanding strict definitions when it suits their purposes. They connect this to the rationales for demonizing trans people for not fitting their rigid gender definitions. In the back half of the show, they take this critique of binary thinking to the SAVE Act, the Senate confirmation of Markwayne Mullin, and the-on-the fence dilemma faced by Tulsi Gabbard, among other political shenanigans of the week. They end with the usual response these frustrations of destructive reductive thinking to engage more in local community involment, including the 3rd No Kings rally and local events associated with the Trans Day of Visibility.
Amid the ongoing Strait of Hormuz crisis, President Trump has voiced frustration with NATO allies for declining to provide naval or other support, repeatedly calling their position disappointing and suggesting it could damage the alliance long-term. He reiterated that the U.S. does not require their assistance in confronting Iran but questioned whether NATO would ever truly be there for America in a crisis. Such statements have kept the topic of a potential U.S. pullout alive in political discourse. With tensions rising, even low-probability bets on Polymarket reflect the uncertainty. This comes alongside the high-profile resignation of Joe Kent from his role leading the National Counterterrorism Center, where he protested the administration's decision to engage in the Iran war.

Loving queer kids today requires honesty: they are growing up in a world that actively questions their right to exist, to be safe, and to belong. In this episode, we speak plainly to parents, caregivers, and allies about what LGBTQ+ kids need — not someday, but right now — in a cultural and political climate that is increasingly hostile.We confront the real harm caused by silence and “good intentions,” challenge adults to move beyond private support into public protection, and name advocacy as a non-negotiable part of love. This episode is a call to action for anyone who claims to care about queer kids.Because love that doesn't protect is not love — it's abandonment.Send us a private message. *Note: INCLUDE YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS if you'd like us to answer. :-) Support the show

“We can disagree and still love each other” is often framed as maturity or respect — but what happens when that disagreement puts real people at risk? In this episode, we confront how “just disagreeing” about LGBTQ+ lives, identities, and inclusion stops being neutral and starts becoming dangerous.We examine the real-world consequences of polite harm, the myth of neutrality, and the cost of silence when injustice is dressed up as belief or civility. This is a call to move beyond comfort and into responsibility — for families, allies, and anyone who claims to love LGBTQ+ people.Because love that refuses to protect is not love at all.Send us a private message. *Note: INCLUDE YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS if you'd like us to answer. :-) Support the show
Judson looks forward to checking out the Gems and Minerals exhibit at the Natural History Museum for a Galentine's afternoon. Brian shares his thoughts on watching both “Pillion” and “Heated Rivalry” a second time. A listener who's a lawyer provides feedback on the advice given when a question about signing an NDA was posed during a recent Go Ask Your Dad segment. The Hookup of the Week is the story of an encounter that inspires the submitter to be more specific about the information he provides when meeting people on the apps so as to avoid medical emergencies. Brian and Judson are then joined by drag icon, RuPaul's Drag Race alum and reigning Mr. Palm Springs Leather, Honey Davenport! Honey talks about their entree into the leather community over the last few years, bridging the drag and leather sides of their persona, why it's important to address them as Honey, their thoughts on a return to Drag Race, their journey into adult content creation, the childhood origins of their activism and community service, and the need for mentorship in the queer community. They also tell us about the launch of their line of tights designed for the drag community, Honey's Hose, detail how they fit into the Davenport family tree, and talk about their various relationship statuses as a polyamorous person. Honey then joins Brian and Judson in responding to a Go Ask Your Dad question from a non-binary listener curious for thoughts on how to signal on the apps that Daddy and femme can co-exist early enough in a conversation to ensure expectations are set and met while keeping it sexy.

Valentine's Day can be beautiful for some — and deeply complicated for others. In this episode, we make space for those who feel unseen, pressured, or left out by traditional narratives of love.We explore why romantic love is often treated as the ultimate measure of worth, how that harms LGBTQ+ people and their families, and what it means to reclaim a broader, more honest definition of love. This is an invitation to opt out of shame, redefine belonging, and remember that your life, your timing, and your way of loving are already enough.Because love was never meant to be narrow — it was meant to make room.Send us a private message. *Note: INCLUDE YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS if you'd like us to answer. :-) Support the show
