The Queer Christian: Navigating Faith, Church and the Bible

Questioning the Bible’s stance on same-sex attraction or premarital sex? This podcast series debunks the myths propagated by conservative churches. We expose the shameful use of Old Testament verses to condemn gay Christians and spotlight Biblical scriptures that affirm sexual diversity. Yes, there are pro-LGBTQIA+ scriptures. And NOWHERE in the Gospel does Jesus forbid premarital sex, same-sex marriages, or female priests. If your faith and sexuality seem at odds, these podcasts may help. Too many churches teach a cultural gospel, a false gospel, that Jesus never preached.Elton Sherwin キリスト教 スピリチュアリティ 聖職・福音主義

  • 64. Why Did God Create Queer People?
    2026/07/29

    What if human diversity wasn't an accident, but a deliberate part of divine design?

    In ancient times, anyone unable to produce biological heirs was dismissed as a "dry tree"—a spiritual and relational dead end. But when we look closely at scripture through an affirming lens, a very different picture emerges.

    In this episode, we tackle the big question: Why did God intentionally create queer and gender-diverse people?

    Join us as we unpack key theological frameworks that challenge traditional binary thinking:

    • The Principle of Spectrum: How ancient Hebrew poetic devices (like pairing "day and night" or "land and sea") were meant to encompass the full watercolor spectrum in between—including dawn, dusk, estuaries, and the richness of human identity.

    • Co-Creation with the Divine: Exploring the idea that diversity is an invitation to actively participate in continuous creation and transformation.

    • Reflecting the Infinite (Imago Dei): How no single narrow box can capture God, and how human variety reflects an uncontainable, infinite Creator.

    Whether you're wrestling with your own faith journey, seeking affirming perspectives, or curious about scriptural interpretation, this conversation offers a fresh, grounded look at inclusion and divine purpose.

  • 63. Sodom Misused to Condemn the Queer Community (3 min.)
    2026/07/22

    The most famous "clobber verse" in history doesn't say what many churches claim.

    For centuries, Genesis 19 has been weaponized as a primary text to condemn same-sex relationships and the LGBTQ+ community. But when you sit down and look strictly at the literal Hebrew text, a clear contradiction emerges between what the story actually says and how it’s used today.

    In this 3-minute episode of The Queer Christian, we break down:

    • The Demographic Proof: Why an entire city's male population—teenagers, fathers, and grandfathers—proves this mob was not motivated by sexual orientation.

    • The Real Sin: How violent xenophobia, abuse of power, and the catastrophic failure of hospitality were turned upside down over time.

    • The Inversion: How a scripture written to condemn the victimization of vulnerable outsiders was forged into a weapon to victimize them further.

    Stop the weaponization of scripture by learning what the text actually says.

  • 62. STIs and Cancer
    2026/07/14

    Can a common Sexually Transmitted Infection (STIs or STDs) lead to cancer? 🦠

    Whether you are gay or straight, in this eye-opening deep dive, we’re breaking down the shocking statistic that 13% of global cancers—about 1 in 8 cases—are actually linked to preventable bacterial and viral infections. From the widespread realities of HPV (and its surprising connection to heart health) to the differing ways Hepatitis B and C target the liver, we look at the science of how these infections operate.

    More importantly, we talk about the incredible power of prevention, the life-saving impact of vaccines, and the critical role of regular screenings. Knowledge is power, and taking control of your health starts with staying informed.
