Emmy and Natalia are joined by friend of the pod friend of God Erik Nelson to nerd out on the saints and icons and why it matters to know their names and their stories. Not just as histories but for our own understanding of what it means that God is still speaking through saints today as well.

It’s Pride month, and it feels even more important than ever to speak up and support our LGBTQ+ siblings. Emmy and Natalia process a moment that Emmy recently had during a Q&R (question and response), and how to respond when someone comes at you hard using the Bible as their defense.

To kick off our Pride month discussions we’re bringing back an oldie but a goodie: episode 23, Emmy’s first appearance on the podcast way back in January 2019. Natalia, Nora McInerny, and Emmy talk “welcoming” vs “affirming,” reclaiming the word “queer,” and what to do with “Bam Bam Christians” who are just a little too into the “clobber verses” of the Bible.
