Tyler is back out in the field, but this time we’re traveling from L.A. to Chicago to explore the queer revolution happening in the Christian church. Tyler meets artist and theologian Jonathan Randall Grant to talk about the long forgotten, recently reclaimed queer heritage of the church, as well as, how it all got lost in the first place. Then we hear from community organizer and theologian Michael Vasquez to what the fight is like for people of color fighting for queer inclusion.
