This week we interviewed Suzanne DeWitt Hall who is the author of Where True Love Is: An LGBTQIA+ Devotional.
Suzanne DeWitt Hall joins today’s conversation. Suzanne is a writer who’s authored many books, three of which we discuss today: Theology of Desire, Sex with God, and Sleeper, Awake. Suzanne shares her story of religious unlearning by way of devotional deconstruction. Her books are delectable snacks for the individual who finds themselves smack in the middle of religious deconstruction and unsure of which questions to ask or why. We discuss how encouraging her devotionals are for those who are also going through an erotic transformation, questioning their sexual identity, orientation, and how one relates and reflects the sexual attribute from God. We tackle issues surrounding purity culture and the toxic programs, she shares a reimagined depiction of Jesus as "sexy and flirtatious," and we talk about the steamiest scenes in the Bible that highlight the nature of God. When asked how one can discern their desires, she advises that we learn to check "ourselves when we're turning someone else into a thing that satisfies us, rather than a person who is worthy of connection, respect, and love." A healthy desire is one that brings wholeness, not only to the one who desires but the one who is desired, especially physically, intimately, sexually. Suzanne touches on two ideas that are not regularly discussed when considering consent: Sometimes, we say "yes" but we don't really mean "yes." and the privilege of being able to say "no."

The Post Game Show includes Louis CK and music from the O’Jays, Beatles, Doors, Roxy Music, Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong, and Angel Gabriel. It ain’t going to be boring.

Author Suzanne DeWitt Hall follows up her landmark book A Theology of Desire with a brand new book full of ideas and conversation starters, Sex With God. From the book's Forward; 'Each of us comes to the topic of sex with at least a minimal amount of trepidation; that's human nature. When we put God into the mix, well, sex becomes almost taboo. But why? God made sex. And as DeWitt Hall rightly states, “God is a sexual being, the most sexual of all beings,” in fact. So why should we be creeped out by talking to God about Godself?' Covering topics ranging from consent, to orgasm to BDSM : How does one align religious and spiritual principles with instinctual and sexual longings? Suzanne tells us how. Suzanne is a renown freelance writer, a HuffPost blogger, and also authored the children's picture book Rumplepimple. Besides a fascination with the intersection of sexuality and theology, she is mildly obsessed with vintage cookbooks. She lives joyously with her wife Diane, a cat named Chicken, and a wire fox terrier. With Co-host Brody Levesque

Be the Bridge: Connecting the LGBTQIA+ Community and People of Faith
IS YOUR FAITH STRONG ENOUGH TO ALLOW GOD TO SELECT THE PERSON YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE? Suzanne Dewitt Hall was a straight conservative Christian who once blogged about the evils of homosexuality. But then she met Diane. "It felt like the angel was at the door of the prison saying, 'Come out. Here's your earthquake. Get out of there.'" Suzanne left her husband and followed the path that God laid out for her. "When you allow God to be the person to select the person you're supposed to be with it's transformational." Suzanne Dewitt Hall describes herself as a Freelance scribbler, one of Rumplepimple’s moms, a cookbookophile and an imagiplationist. She’s a scribbler all right. She has three different blogs and is a frequent contributor to HuffPost. Suzanne is the author of an exciting new devotional book (WHERE TRUE LOVE IS) that will reaffirm how much God loves each of us as an LGBTQIA+ individual. She’s the author of the children’s book series THE ADVENTURES OF RUMPLEPIMPLE. Rumplepimple is a naughty terrier with an annoying cat for a big sister and two moms who can’t understand a word he says. It’s a tale of an unlikely hero who saves the say in the most unusual way. She’s a cookbookophile with an interest in cookbooks from the 50s and 60s. A recent example on her blog is a cookbook using Spry, a vegetable shortening and competitor to that essential ingredient in my momma’s biscuits – Crisco. And you'll have to listen to this phenomenal interview to find out the meaning of the word "imagiplationist." For more information on Suzanne, http://www.sdewitthall.com.
