We are thrilled to be joined by the wise and winsome Micah Belong (they/them) to discuss the LGBTQ+ clobber passage of Romans 1:24-32. It's a spicy conversation that shows how Paul's words are about rape culture and power-reinforcing sexuality as emblematic of humanity's waywardness – NOT a blanket condemnation of same-sex intimacy.

Micah hosts The Word in Black and Red, an outstanding podcast exploring the Hebrew Bible through leftist and queer lenses, one chapter or tale at a time. Each episode gets a slightly different blend of cohosts and guests, which makes for dependably invigorating reflections on some of the strangest stories in the Bible.
