Hey everyone!
Happy Pride month! I hope everyones summer is off to a beautiful start and the folks have had the chance to celebrate the contributions of queer people to your life, faith, and world this month. I just wanted to update you on a few things that I’ve been creating over the past month!
Faith for the Rest of Us Podcast: I announced this week that I’ve been called to be the Pastor of Sunnyside Reformed Church in Queens, New York, beginning on July 2023! As part of my new call, I’ve launched a podcast called Faith for the Rest of Us, where I will share my sermons delivered each week as well as interviews with some of the authors, teachers, and theologians that fuel my faith. Make sure you subscribe on iTunes, Spotify, or directly on the Podcast site to ensure you get these delivered directly to your devices each week! (I’ve also launched our churches first Instagram and I’d love if you followed us here.)
TONIGHT: The Biblical Case for Queer Inclusion: Tonight at 8 PM ET, I will be leading a virtual seminar on the Biblical case for LGBTQIA+ inclusion in the Church. I’ll be sharing all new content that I’ve been developing for my forthcoming book on the topic, so you don’t want to miss this in depth analysis of the clobber passages! We have over 50 people registered to attend! If you’d like to attend, please register here. See you tonight!
Queer Christian History TikTok Series: This month, I’ve been traveling to historic sites across New York City where Christian stepped up to support the LGBTQIA+ community in the early days of the Queer Rights Movement. Make sure you take a look here.
I hope these resources are a blessing to you on your journey of faith and am super excited for all this to come in the days and weeks ahead. Thanks so much for your support and encouragement on this journey!
With Pride:
Brandan
