Fat, Fabulous, and Unapologetic: Queer Lessons from Garfield the Cat

What if holiness looked like naps, lasagna, and a heavy dose of sarcasm?

In this deliciously irreverent episode of the Queer Church Podcast, we explore the spiritual legacy of Garfield the Cat — the fat, fabulous feline who refuses to shrink, hustle, or apologize.

Through a queer theological lens, we uncover how Garfield embodies sacred rest, unapologetic self-love, and the bold rejection of toxic productivity. From his love of lasagna to his refusal to perform politeness, Garfield becomes a surprisingly profound model for queer resistance, fat embodiment, and the divine art of saying “no.”

✨ Featuring:

– Reflections on rest as resistance

– Listener stories on reclaiming the body and boundaries

– Scripture from Psalms and the Gospels

– A closing blessing for every soul told to be “less”

🧡 Whether you’re resting on the couch, reclaiming your hunger, or just vibing with your inner sass, this episode is for you.
