23. God Loves Queers: The Faith Journey of a Lesbian Bishop with Brenda Bos


Listen Later

On today's episode, we have the first openly lesbian bishop in the Evangelical Lutheran Church, Brenda Bos (She/Her), join us for a conversation about how her sexual identity shaped her unique faith journey and prepared her for leadership within the queer community. Together we talk about the nature of God, the internalization of homophobia and the gender binary, and how to rachet up your self-assessment.
