Host: EDJ Guest: Rev. Brandan Robertson – author of Queer and Christian, TikTok pastor, theologian, and public speaker.

In this heartfelt and deeply thoughtful conversation, EDJ speaks with Rev. Brandan Robertson about growing up evangelical, discovering his queerness, and finding a theology that held both faith and identity. Together, they unpack:

• Brandan’s journey from Moody Bible Institute to affirming theology

• The trauma of purity culture and conversion therapy

• Why “obedience” and biblical literalism can be harmful

• What the Bible really says about queerness – including the infamous word arsenokoite

• Queer readings of scripture and the radical inclusivity of Jesus

• How deconstruction can lead to more honest, expansive faith

• What it means to let love—not fear—guide your theology

Whether you're curious, questioning, or walking your own road of reconstruction, this episode offers theological insight, personal stories, and radical grace.
