Bobby Jo Valentine was born into Baptist surroundings, was nearly a missionary, nearly married the wrong person, lost his faith, found his faith, and has come out on the other end with a guitar in his hand and a smile on his face. Now a full-time musician and mystic himself, Bobby Jo joins Kevin for a delightful conversation. They trade stories about the mission field, about expansive faith, and how we're still trying to figure all this shit out.

Growing up as a queer person of color, RV Mendoza knew how to play the game and played it better than anyone else. In his 20's, he began exploring what it would be like to live as openly queer Christian, and that revelation set him free to finally become the artist and person he always dreamt he could be. You're going to love this candid and hilarious conversation.

So it’s the 21st century, we’re all progressive and there is one thing that we all have trouble talking about: sin. Sure, it might be easier to talk about corporate and cultural sins like racism, but what about for the individual? And how do we talk about it as queer people? Today, Austen Hartke, creator of the YouTube series “Transgender and Christian” joins me to discuss just that. We also talk about doubt, faith, and setting shit on fire.

In this podcast, Kevin and Dr. Fong cover that, plus feelings about evangelicalism in light of a Trump administration, our reptile brains, and his podcast, Asian America.
