Show Notes
Live from the podcast stage at the Q Christian Fellowship conference in Portland, OR. Cythina and Laura Beth are joined by Haley Warner and Bridget Black to kick off a new season of Going Nowhere. We took some time to wrap up our conversation about Peace as a Path of Resistance and introduced the new topic of Joy as resistance (or in Cynthia's case, a resistance to Joy!)
Takeaways Peace as a path of resistance The sensorial experience of joy and peace The role of love in grounding joy and peace Grounding in peace and joy goes beyond feelings and is rooted in a state of being. Peace and joy are interdependently connected and are found within a community. Living a spiritual life is defined as living in community, emphasizing the importance of communal support and connection.

In the second part of our conversation with Brandon & Colby, we delve into the practical impact of queer theology, the paradigm shift in sexual and relational ethics, and the evolving nature of Christianity. We also continue to explore the distinction between affirming theology and queer theology, as well as the upcoming work and books of both our guests.
In the first of a two-part conversation, LB & Cynthia are joined by Brandon Robertson and Colby Martin to talk about Queer Theology in theory. This winding conversation touches on the emerging distinction between "affirming" and "queer" theology. The insights and perspectives from both straight and LGBTQ+ perspectives are a treasure!
