How do we respond in conversations to people in our inner-circle that try to question or challenge our faith, specifically your faith as a queer Christian? What does the Bible say about it? Our LGBTQIA+ peeps are no strangers to having these conversations with our families, friends, and peers about our faith, sexuality, and overall existence.

This episode, Ris and Care share what the Bible says about how to prepare ourselves for and  respond in these conversations in an amicable way. Just in time to study up for the upcoming holiday dinner talks!

With heavy hearts, we dedicate this episode to the two beloved queer-icons, Tim Curry & Dolly Parton, and commemorate their contributions made to the LGBTQIA+ community through their lives and talents. 

Big thank you to YouTuber Jammidodger for his insights and research on Dolly Parton, which were used in this episode. We encourage our listeners to view his video first-hand and hear his eloquent sharing of Dolly’s allyship. Description below:

What better way to celebrate Pride- the celebration of love for community, others, and ourselves- than to talk about the purest, best form of it that comes from our Heavenly Father. Because GOD IS LOVE! Other topics include: how Ris and Care celebrate Pride, how simple a relationship with God can be, and how to deal with repetitive arguments.

Happy Pride Month y’all! We are thankful to celebrate such a wonderful community. 

LOVE,

The Good Fruit Pod <3

Is Trump the anti-Christ? Are we in the end times? What does the book of Revelations have to say about this?... These are all questions many of us may be grappling with since the release of the E. files and with the overall state of the world. While this episode may not answer all those questions, it will offer you encouragement- through the sharing of God’s word and truth- to remain hopeful.

Have peace, friends. God is good, and He has not forgotten about us!

We’re back (kinda) for Trans Day of Visibility! This episode is specifically for all our trans siblings and anyone who wants to hear some affirming, yet realistic, perspectives on current issues and debates relating to trans rights. We hope this episode brings light to the disproportionate disadvantages the community faces and how we, as Christians, can take a Christ-like approach to our neighbors who face these trials.

To our trans siblings: you are beautiful! We love you, and God loves you too!

WE WILL SEE YOU AGAIN IN MAY!!!

Coming out, getting angry at God, sports injuries, leaving religion and finding Jesus (again), finding God as a queer Christian and sharing the good news with others- this is Ris's story and, subsequentially, how The Good Fruit Pod came to be.

How should you feel about the person you're dating? How should you feel when you view your significant other. We are going to see how God's outline answers these questions in our final episode on the dissection of Genesis 2:18!
