(9s):

Welcome to the Queer Theology Podcast. I’m Brian G Murphy. And I’m father Shannon, T l Kearns. We’re the co-founders of Queer Theology dot com and your hosts from Genesis, revelation. The Bible declares good news to LGBTQ plus people, and we want to show you how Tuning each week on Sunday for conversations about Christianity, queerness and transness, and how they can enrich one another. We’re glad you’re here. Hello. Hello. Hello. It’s Brian. For right now, you’re getting just me. She’ll be tuning in in a way, in just a moment. We’re doing something that we haven’t done in a little while, which is we’re going to have a Throwback episode for you today. We’re coming up on 600 episodes of this podcast in I think just a few weeks, which is, this is a lot of episodes.

(54s):

And so unless you’ve been listening diligently every single week for the past, I dunno, 12 years, And I know that there are some folks who have been around all that time. So like, shout out to you and thank you for going on this journey with us. There’s probably a lot of episodes that you have not heard or that you heard a while ago and have since forgotten. And we think that there are some real gems in there, and in the same that we think that revisiting the Bible has power ’cause you like learn things new. And again, I think similarly hope that revisiting this podcast episode will speak to y’all in a new and a fresh way today. So that’s like the philosophical, nice sounding reason for why we’re doing it. The other reason is just a practical matter, Shannon And I have both had been having to work more at our other jobs as we’ve been having to work less at radiology because the funding is just not where it used to be.

(1m 40s):

And so if you would, so it’s just like hard to schedule times when we’re both available because we’ve more been working a lot outside of this. If you would like to help contribute to make our work here at the podcast and elsewhere on the internet more sustainable, we would, we would share your support. That is, you can do so@atpatreon.com slash Queer Theology, or you can join the community at Queer Theology do com slash community. You’ll also hear the start of this episode. I’m a listener q and a. And so if you have a question that you would like epi answer in a future episode of the podcast, send us an email to connect at Queer Theology dot com or just pop on over to Queer Theology com slash listen and you’ll be able to pop up in the bottom corner. You can record our voice note. We would love to hear your voice like we hear Bellas In this episode. So without further ado, here is Queerness Is A Cornerstone, our queer take on first Peter two, two through 10.

(2m 29s):

Hello. Hello. Welcome back to the Queer Theology Podcast. So Brian, what’s going on in your world? Well, I am still on my Danish kick and I’ve, I’ve, I found my, my great aunt’s like Danish cookbook and so I’ve been tackling some recipes there, some that I grew up making. So I’ve been starting with those and I’ve, they’re got, there’s some ones in it that look really interesting, but I don’t think I’ll be doing like pickled herring anytime soon. So I, so I’m just sticking with like the simple stuff that I already know how to make lots of like baked goods and pastries. So that’s been fun to sort of like, since all the gays on Instagram are baking and everyone’s making like cookies and breads and pies, but I’m making like Danish pancake balls and other weird stuff.

(3m 18s):

So that’s been fun to sort of scratch that itch in addition to learning the language. What about you? Yeah, So I got a book for Christmas that’s called 12 Months of Monastic Soups, and it’s all soups made in monasteries or soups that monks would eat. And I’ve been working my way through that book. I’m still actually in January cooking my way through January, even though it is clearly not January anymore. But that’s been really fun and the soups are quite tasty. They’re super simple and fairly easy to make, but they’re really great. But it is also clear to me that the monks don’t like a lot of spice.

(3m 58s):

That’s been my one kind of beef with this of, of sometimes wanting to be like, y’all need some red pepper in this. I also got a pasta maker for Christmas, and so that might be my next experiment to make some, some pastas. I got a book called Mastering Pasta, so we might be trying that next, although I don’t know, that might be too much. That is next level. I, I make like zucchini pasta sometimes by just like spiralizing zucchini. But that, that’s as far as I on the pasta train that seems, We got one of those too. I, I once made pasta. I’ve made it one time and it took forever, just forever, forever, forever to make it without any of the equipment and for just one pot of spaghetti.

(4m 46s):

So I don’t know, but yeah, we’ll see. I’ve got it. So I might as well try it. Yeah, Yeah. Months ago, back when we were able to be in the same place as other people, my, one of our, I went over to a friend’s place for like a big group dinner and someone had brought like mostly pre-made like pasta dough that all we had to do was like knead it some more and then like run it through the machine. And so that was fun to sort of like do a little piece of Before we dive in, this podcast is brought to you by over 130 supporters on Patreon This week we want to give a shout out to James Alameda who joined four months ago.

My name is Bella And I love your podcast. You guys have really helped me to fully accept myself and my sexuality as beautiful and something that God created.
