Send us Fan Mail What better way to celebrate Pride- the celebration of love for community, others, and ourselves- than to talk about the purest, best form of it that comes from our Heavenly Father.

We are thankf...

Send us Fan Mail Is Trump the anti-Christ? Are we in the end times? What does the book of Revelations have to say about this?...

While this episode may not answer all those questions, it will offer you encouragement- through the sharing of God’s word and truth- to rem...

Send us Fan Mail How should you feel about the person you're dating? How should you feel when you view your significant other. We are going to see how God's outline answers these questions in our final episode on the dissection of Genesis 2:18! 

Send us Fan Mail RATED R!!! PLEASE SEE MINUTE 2:18 OF THIS EPISODE TO BE ENLIGHTENED OF ITS CONTENT AND RATING. Diving into Genesis 2:19-20, analyzing the possible silhouette for dating God illustrated in the Creation Story to discover what makes the "suitable helper" (Gen 2:18), suitable. Hint hint: people are more than just their bodies. ;)

Send us Fan Mail Happy LGBTQ History Month! It is so important to learn about our community's history and acknowledge the milestones it has achieved, for "if history repeats itself... it's hope". In no way does this episode provide a comprehensive list of all the recognitions the Queer Community has acquired, but it's a small effort in our part to bring light to this merit...

Send us Fan Mail In this episode, we will be giving a small introduction to the second half of the curriculum for our Creation Story/Divine Design series and briefly discuss the biblical narrative about Jacob, the man who waited and worked 7 years to earn Rachel’s hand in marriage (doesn’t go well, btw). We will also be recognizing the upcoming HIV awareness days happening this September. Thanks f...

Send us Fan Mail Recognizing the queer holidays in the month of July, and then taking it easy with a couple bloopers. We'll be back to posting our theological curriculum soon! :)

Send us Fan Mail "Is God actually real?", "Am I doing enough to get into Heaven?", "Is being gay actually okay in God's eyes?". Ris and Care get vulnerable about the very real Christian experience of doubt, discussing their own experiences with it and ways they've combatted these thoughts through evidence and truth.

Send us Fan Mail A solo talk with Ris about how they read and study their Bible in a way that works with their brain and life, dissecting the importance of cross referencing, in a minimal-edit video. We hope this episode provides you the encouragement to pick up your Bible and wormhole away, as well as to get inspired to let go and let God.

Send us Fan Mail Understandably, fear seems to be a common feeling amongst many at this time. Fear of the ever changing political atmosphere, fear of not being chosen, etc. And, not to mention the hurt that usually accompanies such fear. HOWEVER, inspired by Joshua 1:9, Ris and Care are going to discuss ways to navigate fear with courage by participating in the continuum of love and trusting in Go...

Send us Fan Mail Alright, we are done being jerks now. We are ACTUALLY discussing the Golden Calf Incident (Ex. 32). We specifically will be observing the repetitive behavior of the characters and extremely spanned content reveal to explain why this incident isn't really anything about God's view on gay, but God's view on pagan worship.
