Episode 5 In this episode we are talking about transforming the Bible Engagement Project curriculum using visual media with Julie Pratt. Julie is the National Director of Children's Discipleship for the Assemblies of God, and she discusses her role and the resources provided by My Healthy Church. She also shares about the Bible Engagement Project, a curriculum resource that promotes biblical literacy. Together, she and Carl talk about the importance of quality media in engaging children. Pratt also introduces Kidmin Roadmap, a total kids ministry strategy that focuses on discipleship for children, parents, and volunteers. The decision to invest in custom media was driven by the desire to provide a unique and high-quality resource for churches. This episode will cover the advantages and challenges of outsourcing visual content creation for churches and ministries. It will highlight the importance of clarity and communication in the outsourcing process. Ultimately, there is value in hiring motion designers to create high-quality visuals, and many benefits in outsourcing certain tasks to alleviate the workload of in-house teams.

"I don't understand," they say, and now you've got some work to do.  Listener Kai asks how to explain what nonbinary means to their boyfriend's religious parents. Luckily, Faith knows how to talk to religious people so you know The Gender Rebels have some thoughts.   Checkout our episodes with our nonbinary friend Avery: Everything In Between and Nonbinary Talk With Avery. A nonbinary person is not necessarily intersex, but Avery said it can be a helpful metaphor to people who prefer to start from a scientific example. Check out our intersex episode for details. Faith is a fan of Sci Show and they also have an episode on intersex people.   Becoming Eve: My Journey from Ultra-Orthodox Rabbi to Transgender Woman by Abby Stein is just one of many stories from religious or formerly religious people dealing with queerness, transition, or being nonbinary or intersex.  Also it's just a great read.  We love Austen Hartke and he has done so much fascinating work on queer interpretations of the bible.

Kalie joins us once again— last installment, Kalie shared with us her personal story of transition and embracing fully who she is. This time, Kalie drops some insight on familiar scripture, Genesis 1 and Genesis 2. Highlights from this episode include:How LGBTQ+ people fit in to the creation narrative.The ways our cultural views shape our take on the creation story, and vice versa.Kalie notes that we don't hold nature to strict binary categories, even though the creation story presents God's creation in general binary categories (earth/sky, land/water, etc.). So why humans?ACCIDENTALLY PROFOUND STATEMENT ALERT: Cody notes that limiting the image of God even by a factor of one (down to binary) creates a false image, and is thus idolatry.ACCIDENTALLY PROFOUND STATEMENT ALERT 2: Kalie notes that being like Christ does NOT mean giving up who you are, but is rather about being FULLY who you are.Kalie talks about how the early church took Jesus' teachings seriously, and thus began exploding patriarchal norms and cultural constructs of masculinity. UNTIL some leaders put a stop to it with a new interpretation on Jesus' teachings.and much, MUCH more. Pertinent Links:here is a recently published article Kalie penned for Whosoever (an online magazine that serves as a resource for LGBT Christians)A book Kalie mentioned:Transforming: The Bible and the Lives of Transgender Christians A sermon Kalie preached:Loved and Affirmed from Creation: How LGBTQ+ are Expressions of God's Image in HumanityFind Kalie and interact with her on instagram: @JustKalieHFollow and interact with The All That's Holy: Blue Collar Podcast on Facebook and TwitterFollow and buy music from At The Speed of Darkness on Bandcamp and Instagram.

Keeping the alliteration theme going, Craig and Cody are joined by Kalie— a transgender woman serving as associate pastor and intern at a congregation in Decatur, GA. This is the first episode of a two-part conversation with Kalie— the highlights of this episode include:Pride Flags and marketing— is the embrace of Pride Month by corporate giants and professional sports leagues capitalism run amok? Merely a marketing tool? A sign of progress? What does it mean?!Transgender laws and resolutions popping up all over the country for debate in sessions of state legislatures, paricularly in the world of sports. Why now? Kalie discusses the impact these laws and the debates about them have on transgender kids.Kalie shares her experience as a closeted trans kid, and discusses the ways her experience is similar to trans kids today, and the many ways their experience is different from her own.Kalie talks about her background (being raised in an ultraconvservative family, in an ultraconservative religious tradition) affected her acceptance of herself and others in the LGBTQ+ community, and why it took so long to become inclusive of others who were like her.Kalie shares stories of when and where she finally felt safe in her own skin in a church congregation, and in her new city/community.AND, in an All That's Holy FIRST, boobs are mentioned!— not once, not twice, BUT THRICE!We concliude the episode with a mutual agreement: Kalie MUST join us again for an episode dedicated specifially to her insight and understanding of the Genesis 1 and Genesis 2 scriptures as it pertains to the full expression of human sexuality and identification. Look for part 2 SOON!

Do you have a sweater chest? A dressmaker's mannequin for your shawls, or a special hanger? A box of socks? I tend to roll my handknit socks and put them in a drawer.

If you didn’t get out to your local LGBTQ Pride festivities -- no worries -- this episode is a Pride month celebration.  Our own Pastor Casey Tinnin was elected the Grand Marshal of the Sacramento, California Pride Parade. What do you wear when you’re the Grand Marshal of a Pride parade?  In the first half of this celebration, Casey recounts his experience, internally and externally, of representing and serving his community in Sacramento Pride. In part two of this episode, Casey sits down with author and pastor, Rev. Lawrence T. Richardson. Rev. Lawrence T. Richardson is an African-American trans man who wears many hats.  He is Pastor at Linden Hills United Church of Christ, media trainer with Auburn Seminary, leadership coach with The Center for Progressive Renewal, and a writer for The Salt Collective.​​​  He recently wrote the book, I Know What Heaven Looks Like:  A Modern Day Coming of Age Story. In addition to his new book, Rev. Richardson writes about and advocates for LGBTQ people, people of color and the flourishing of all. His works have appeared in Huffington Post Religion, The Root, Believe Out Loud, The Salt Collective, Rachel Murr’s Unnatural: Spiritual Resiliency in Queer Christian Women, Austen Hartke’s Transforming: The Bible and the Lives of Transgender Christians, and numerous other national and international publications. He has also received awards and commendations for his service from Black Transmen, Inc. and the Stellar Awards for his work in global communication. You will not want to miss this conversation between two men who, through struggle, have found their callings into ministry. The conversation, like Pastor Casey and Rev. Lawrence, is authentic, real, vulnerable and full of testimony to the power of finding Love in God and in people who know how to Love freely and abundantly.   Pride Month Celebration Part One w/ Pastor Casey (01:23) Pride Month Celebration Part Two w/ Rev. Lawrence T. Richardson (18:03) PASTOR CASEY’S SPEECH FROM SACRAMENTO PRIDE My name is Pastor Casey Tinnin, I am the Pastor of Loomis United Church of Christ.  I am the founder of The Landing Spot a non religious support group for LGBTQIA+ teens and their adult caregivers, the Co-Founder of Intersections a recovery group for ex fundamentalists and ex evangelicals, and a co-host on the podcast Irenicast.  I want to say thank you to the four thousand people who voted for me. It is my deepest honor to be one of your grand marshals. It recently has been said that the only way forward is for “everyone to be accepted.” This is true, however true love and acceptance comes with a deep since of humility and truth telling. Acceptance is not created by back door deals and forced participation. Love and acceptance comes when we are willing to tell the truth of our own lives and to take account of our own actions and how our actions are perceived. Today, I am aware that as a gay cist gendered Pastor and for many in the LGBTQ+ community seeing a pastor stand before them is triggering. And so this morning I want to say I am sorry on behalf of God and Christianity for the violence that has been inflected upon you.  For the ways spoken and unspoken that the message of Christianity has been coopted and used to harm each of us. Sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia, body shaming…. I am sorry… I am also aware of how cis gendered gay men and lesbians have fallen short in their support for the transgendered community.  We stand on the shoulders of giants, and it is on the shoulders of those trans women who lead the fight at stone wall that we have any rights at all. But fifty years later it is still trans people, and trans people of color who are still the victims of abuse, hate, murder, infection, suicide, and homelessness. And apart of your suffering is because as cis gendered gay and lesbian people we have been complicit, and for that I am sorry. Beloved family, the only way forward is together.  There is a new wind blowing through this place, and my prayer is that it stirs among us and through our capital, and throughout the nation.  We are in trying times, but we can not combat hate with hate, it is only love that can see us forward. Every week I see the boldness and courage of young LGBT teens in the work that I do that are looking for love and acceptance, and it is our job together to make the world a more safe and loving world for them. And in creating that world it will require us to take bold action, like we have seen the Pride Center Staff do.  So thank you Pride Center staff… not just for standing up and living boldly this week but every day that you show up for the most vulnerable among us. You have stood with us, and we will stand with you. A powerful wind of change is blowing among us, may we be committed to rolling with it together and continuing to build the arc of justice together. Because the only way we truly rise, is together.

Does transition mean going against God's plan? In this episode we answer a listener question from a transwoman. She asks "I am finally taking steps necessary to create the happiness and peace I need in my life through transition. I have come out to some people who are very close to me but have not come out to my parents. I have this itching feeling that my mom knows. She confronted my fiancé about me and one of her comments was 'I'm okay with being gay but transgender is something different. God doesn't make mistakes when it comes to gender.' What is your take on religion and gender?" So does God mistakes with gender?  Be sure and check out Austen Hartke's website and his book "Transforming: The Bible and the Lives of Transgender Christians."
