Author of "Regimes of Desire: Young Gay Men, Media, and Masculinity in Tokyo," Dr. Thomas Baudinette talks about Japan's young gay men and the emotional damage done by the pressure to act out their gayness in an unfortunate way, namely emulating straight dudes. Ollie's recommendation is pretty worthless this week, because there's NO WAY you don't already know about it.Bobby greats ready for Pride on a river boat and sets some google alerts for Hashimoto Kotoe and Sugita Mio.Topics discussed on this episode range from: Rochelle Kopp's Petition to stop the cutting down of trees in Yoyogi Park for the sake of the Olympics.

Alex's Browns play tonight. But wait, they're not her Brown!? Thomas is definitely hers. He doesn't like sports or nerd stuff so what's his brand? What Thomas does like actually was a big help at the Meijer in Adrian after a terrible incident. I can close the book on my judgment lapse after a couple messages last night. There's a massive human trafficking conference next week. Right here. At UT. Look into it. Alex has thoughts on Cuties. What happens when you don't get a billion likes or views on Tik Tok?

CLOSER THAN A BROTHER Today’s readings are Jeremiah 3 – 4 and John 11.  We are reading from the New Living Translation.  Thomas, nicknamed the Twin, said to his fellow disciples, “Let’s go, too—and die with Jesus.” (Jn 11:16 NLT)   The Twin wants to die.  He wants to lay down his life with Jesus, someone he loves like a brother.  He doesn’t want to diefor Jesus, rather, he just wants to die with Him.  But Thomas, the twin, doesn’t understand yet, that it’s going to take Someone else’s death, and resurrection, for him to see, understand, and really experience resurrection life himself. For Thomas it’s going to take more, even more than seeing Lazarus die and rise from the dead.  He would need to see Jesus, himself, die and rise again, before he would believe and experience the life that he wanted.     What Thomas learned was what we must all see and learn that we cannot, by our own good intentions, arrive at the place that we need to be.  Thomas was full of good intentions and brave declarations of loyalty –  “Let’s go, too—and die with Jesus.” But Thomas had to learn that all the virtue and promises, and what we think we ourselves can bring, cannot overcome the reality of our own brokenness, the four-day smell of the flesh, and the certain reality of the grave. What we need is a better twin than Thomas.  We need Someone who can do for us, what we cannot do for ourselves.We need a twin who will triumph over death by actually dying for us, thereby reconciling us to God, on a cross. And we need Someone who has emerged from the tomb, and saved us with his life – for our here and now.  That’s what Thomas would eventually get and what we need to understand. He didn’t see it at first, but soon he would see and believe that his Friend, Jesus, would stick closer than a brother, even closer than a twin.  And that Brother would make a way for him, and us, and for all who believe, to come out of the grave, and be freed from the grave clothes of past shame, regret, fears, and doubts.   This Brother of ours calls us by name, to come out from the grave.  He sets us free into life – never to die again.  Though Thomas wanted to die he would soon learn that his Brother, Jesus, had died for him, so that he might live.   Jesus is closer than a brother – even a twin.  He has called you by name, to rise from the grave.  He has thrown off your grave clothes so that you can move forward in this life with hope, joy, strength, and life.

Just one week after we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus, we are faced with the timeless story of “Doubting Thomas.” Jesus appears to his disciples, and they get to see physical proof of his resurrection. Yet, later, when Thomas asks to see proof because he was not there when Jesus appeared the first time, he seems to be chastised by Jesus and, in our tradition, branded as a doubter. What Thomas was asking was for Jesus to “Do it Again” and we need to be clear in life you are not always going to get a second chance. I know in the fairytail life that a lot of us want to live in, if we miss something folks are going to jump to give us a second or third chance. In reality Rev and Friends many times in real life if you are not at the meeting if you are not at the table if you are not on the zoom call or the Conference call you might Just miss what the Holy Spirit is doing. This is a sermon to help understand how key the ability to Do It Again is to Folks. Let's look at some ways this Sunday you can unlike Thomas overcome your Doubt during this season of Quarantine. 1. Embrace Doubt as Part of Being Human 2. Doubt Your Doubts 3. Make Your Mission Bigger Than Your Fear 4. Build A Tribe of Believers

What Thomas’ absence can teach us about the need to be connected to a local church body.
