In this week's episode of In the Den, Jen talks with Reverend Adam Ericksen as he breaks down some of the most common theology surrounding LGBTQ folks today.  Reconciling theological beliefs with our desires to support our LGBTQ child is often a significant part of the journey for religious parents when their child comes out as LGBTQ. Deconstructing theology can be a big hurdle when it comes to loving and celebrating our kids. We have a large number of listeners who are processing religious trauma, and Pastor Adam offers insight and counsel on ways to engage with theology and religion in affirming and healing ways. Holding on to our faith and supporting our queer kids do not have to be mutually exclusive, and both can be part of our journeys. Special Guest: Reverend Adam EricksenRev. Adam Ericksen has served as the Clackamas United Church of Christ's Pastor since 2018. He is a graduate of Linfield College where he majored in Religious Studies. Adam earned a Masters in Theological Studies from Garrett Evangelical Theological Seminary He enjoys writing for the Raven Foundation website and the Sojourners blog.

Scripture passages are read from the Revised Standard Version of the Bible. “Jesus Unmasked” is a Raven Foundation production.

Blaming God for our own violence and failings is as old as humanity. But how authentic is this? And so how helpful is this? Suzanne Ross has dedicated her career to helping people understand that human violence is not divine. She runs The Raven Foundation, which is dedicated to helping people understand the root causes of our violence, shaming, and blaming. It is based in Mimetic Theory, which can help us understand things as basic as why our best friends can turn into our worst enemies. In this episode Suzanne helps us understand how this theory holds true in history, our lives, and the Bible. Her presentations include: Defining Myth and Scripture, Mimetic Theory, Myth: Romulus and Remus, Scripture: Cain and Abel

Author and cofounder of The Raven Foundation, Suzanne Ross joins Jonathan for a conversation about religious freedom, having compassion towards those who do not agree with you, and the wonderful mess of spirituality. 

When Brian McLaren calls and says, "Tripp you gotta record this & share it.  I think James is gonna be gold." then you do it.  This episode is a conversation between James Alison & Brian McLaren.  It took place as part of a Raven Foundation event that explored how the work of René Girard could transform our understanding of the Christian story, atonement, violence, politics and more. Brian McLaren is podcast regular, activist, author, and emerging church pioneer.  James Alison is a Catholic theologian, priest, and author who identifies as gay who developed Jesus the Forgiving Victim, a program of induction into the Christian faith for adults, following on from the insight into desire associated with René Girard.
