I was excited and honored to join Rev. Kamal Hassan and Brad Sanders on *Why Me Lord?* We got to talk #litbible and the impact of words like "conversation" and "liberation." I had a great time talking with them, and I hope you enjoy hearing it.

The queer theology anthem that happened to be Jesus' favorite song lyric
Jesus' street pageantry parodying the imperial occupation;
Merch tables in the part of the temple dedicated to hosting outsiders;
Jesus' sense of his looming lynching;
Jesus' GTFO clapbacks;
and more.

Why did Jesus' thoughts on divorce and marriage cause his disciples to question whether anyone can get married?
Why did Jesus respond with this thing about three kinds of eunuchs?
Does Jesus reinforce patriarchal ideas of marriage or deconstruct them?
