The United States is going through some challenging times right now. Many Christians wrestle with what our role as Christians should be in this sociopolitical climate, especially considering how some are using their faith to gain political power and control the lives and choices of others. In today's conversation, Rev. Shea Thompson joins me to discuss what the role of the Church should be in our effort to remain faithful, and to be the light and salt that we are called to be in the world. This is a relevant and timely episode you don't want to miss!

The Church doesn't have the best track record when it comes to how it deals with mental health, whether practically, theologically, or even spiritually. Often dismissing mental health challenges and crises as demonic influence or oppression, we have compounded the harm, rather than being a source of healing and holistic health. Join me in this episode, as I discuss these issues with mental health professional, Apostle RayVon Shipman.

Leading LGBTQ+ affirming congregations comes with a set of unique challenges that many people don't consider. There are certainly overlaps with leading any group of Christians; but people in the LGBTQ+ community come with their own particular set of experiences, hurts, and traumas associated with their previous experiences with the Church and/or with Christians, making this work especially delicate.

Join me as I discuss this revealing topic with Bishop Keith McQueen, who has been leading multiple congregations and other pastors for over a decade. This is a much-needed topic in an area of critical ministry that is often overlooked and unappreciated. With Bishop McQueen's help and insight, we can help people appreciate what it is to provide these transformative spaces to this marginalized community.
