All Places Together

Pastor Colleen and Pastor Katy Miles-Wallace of @technicolorministries have a conversation about chosen family, a central piece of both queer life and the Christmas story. Whether you have identified chosen family or you're still seeking out yours, come along to dig into what it means to show up for one another as Jesus shows up for us.

Part three of this series is for the parents and for all of us who want to support queer kids and teens. Monica Buie shares her experience of being the mom to a gay son and how she has sought to parent well and take care of herself too. She also shares some particular advice for parenting queer teens over the holidays.

Re-connecting with friends and family over the holidays means hearing the big things of the past year. One of those big things might include the sentence: I'm gay. Whether you’re looking to come out intentionally this Christmas, thinking that it might happen accidentally, or you are wanting to be prepared for the next time someone comes out to you, this episode is for you. Mycah McNett (she/her) and Pastor Colleen of APT have a conversation about coming out at Christmas, how to care for yourself along the way, and how to care for yourself if this isn't your time to come out.

For members of the LGBTQIA2S+ community, going home for the holidays can be a lot more complicated than trying to decide if one should check a bag or just take a carry-on. Spending time with non-affirming family can be harmful in many ways. Pastor Katy Miles-Wallace (they/them) of Technicolor Ministries has a conversation with Pastor Alfi Wyatt (they/them) about how Alfi makes this decision for themselves and what they to do care for themselves before, during, and after. And if going home is not an option at all, Alfi talks us through how to spend the holiday in a meaningful way.

APT's Mixtape Volume 4 has dropped. Listen to hear three incredible modern day stories of Jesus showing up at tables. Pastor Colleen is thrilled to share the stories from three of her colleagues from the Seeds Fellowship, fellow fellows Tyler Sit and JD Larson, as well as their shared mentor Roz Picardo.

While it may be hard to get up from tables of abundance and grace, Jesus sends us from the table to serve in the world. This episode sums up the "At The Table" Series, sends us into daily life, and invites us to the communion table.

​​Life takes us on journeys that are long. Long in distance and long in time. Along the way, it may not seem that Jesus is there. And then we catch a glimpse.

In one of the most notable meals of Jesus’ life, he teaches and shows what it means to love one another. This week’s episode is explores how we are both loved by Jesus and also called to love as he did.

Moments of conviction can change the course of our lives and our relationships with others on profound levels. Jesus' teaching convicted many, in the past and present. In this week's episode, we come to the table with someone who is convicted and has a huge change of heart.

Instead of just one table, this week Pastor Colleen reads what happens at two very different dinner parties. Our At The Table series continues as we discover one of the many ways that Jesus shows compassion and how we might too.
