It's All about the Questions - Wisdom Learned from the Trenches
Host - Laura Steward

My Christmas week show is, at the end of the day, about love. I was honored to have Bonnie Violet and Tina Frank say yes when I asked them to be on my show. Their story is a powerful one about how love is more powerful than any barrier if you choose to allow it into your heart first.

 Take a listen as Bonnie Violet and her aunt share how they came back together after almost 20 years apart because of labels and how they had defined each other based on outside factors. This is a heartfelt and, for me, eye opening conversation about labels, faith, love. perception and perspectives.

 Tina Frank, a conservative Christian woman and Bonnie Violet, a transgender queer drag queen have an anti-cancel culture conversation on their podcast, Splintered Grace. While many family members are choosing to no longer speak after a revelation like Bonnie Violet shared, they have chosen to sit at the table and engage in difficult conversation to find peace and restoration.

What is your favorite dish to bring to the shared table? This is a challenge I think we all face.  How do we present ourselves, especially to those we care about,  in a way that is honoring to everyone at the table? Bonnie Violet and Tina Frank talk about how to set up and present your dish in way that is loving and kind.  They also address how we should be prepared to respond to those who may not have taken the time to bring their openness to the table and share.

Today we talk about how important it is to be ready to send, or receive an invitation to restoration.  Restoration is the hardest thing I know to accomplish within ourselves and in our family. Join us as we talk candidly about how we have worked hard to be ready.

Tina and Bonnie talk candidly about the power that comes as we exercise our ability to choose in every situation.  We also speak openly about the powerful emotions attached to those choices. We are grateful that we have ultimately found joy and we hope that as we share you will also find a place of joy.

We discuss how the church can hurt, how we have been hurt, how  have we healed,  and how do we navigate being in "church" as we are. How can church and other spiritual community create space less harmful and more inviting to new people in community? How can we discern how to stay, when to go,  and where to be a part of the change?

Do unto people as you would have done unto you versus do unto people as you would have done unto you.

At the beginning of this podcast we reacted to the video, Holy by Justin Bieber ft Chance the Rapper. Due to copyright it is not in this podcast but you can see our reaction on a queer chaplain YouTube Channel. 

Poverty Thinking. Listen to hear how the power of our thoughts can physically move us into a new direction.
