  • 202 Deal or No Deal?

    Dan and Rachael continue breaking down Exodus chapters 4-8 in this very ribbiting 🐸 episode. There’s blood water, snakes, gnats, an onslaught of dead frogs and a literal magical dance off between Moses and Pharaoh. All within the backdrop of the world’s most inefficient negotiation of all time. So hop on in! The water is NOT fine.

  • 110 A Real Debra Downer

    While Dan and Rachael are crashing from the high of episode 9, the Bible decides to serve up more trickery, terrible treatment of women, circumcision schemes and the tragic loss of Debra. Exactly. Who’s Debra??!!  **Seriously though, Content Warning** This episode contains a discussion of sexual violence starting at 16:07 and ending at 31:08 . If you wish to bypass this conversation, jump ahead to 31:08.

  • 109 The One Where Dan and Rachael Both Cry

    Let's start off by saying... our sound issues have been solved! So for those of you that have stuck by as we have navigated DIY sound mixing... bless you. We wish we could tell you that your loyalty will result in descendants as great as there are stars in the sky but... we're social workers and it would be unethical to make such promises. 

    Now... this episode is a bit longer than our usual. In these chapters (Genesis 29-32), we have some conversations that we really felt were essential to the heart of this podcast. We also feel it would be a disservice to you, the listener, to leave any of them on the cutting room floor. So snuggle in, go for a long walk or stream this one during your next long car ride but most importantly, enjoy the episode. We left our hearts in this one.

About Gay With A Bible

From the publisher's feed

Daniel Horrigan and Rachael Soulliere are two queer social workers, social working their way through the Bible. They’re not Christians. They’re not experts. With humor and compassion, Dan and Rachael will attempt to unpack the Bible chapter by chapter, verse by verse to cultivate empathy and examine its complex relationship with women, LGBTQ+ community and beyond.
