And Also With You

Rev. Dr. Cameron Partridge, an Episcopal priest and trans justice advocate, dives into the complex relationship between queerness and Christian faith. He discusses how queer individuals enhance the church with their unique perspectives and vocations. The conversation touches on the emotional impact of societal challenges and the need for community support. Cameron also explores the biblical Transfiguration, emphasizing its significance in understanding faith and identity. Ultimately, he advocates for compassion and authenticity within spiritual life.

Dive into the contentious subject of Christian purity and how it affects modern faith. The hosts challenge traditional views, exploring the toxic elements of American purity culture from the 1990s. They advocate for a broader discourse on faith and sexuality, sharing personal stories to promote self-acceptance. With insights from the book of Philippians, they emphasize grace over fear, reframing purity to deepen connections with God. It's a fresh take on spiritual growth, encouraging listeners to engage thoughtfully with their beliefs and experiences.

What is the future of the church?  Where do we go from here?  We invited the Rt. Rev. C. Andrew Doyle, the Bishop of the Diocese of Texas on to help us explore this question.  Bishop Doyle has a unique perspective on the church from where he sits and it was a delight to talk to him! Like what you hear?We'd love your support on Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/AndAlsoWithYouPodcastThere's all kinds of perks including un-aired live episodes, Zoom retreats, and mailbag episodes for our Patreons!Keep up with us on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/andalsowithyoupodcast/ More about Father Lizzie:PRE-ORDER HER BOOK: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/762683/god-didnt-make-us-to-hate-us-by-rev-lizzie-mcmanus-dail/https://www.instagram.com/rev.lizzie/https://www.tiktok.com/@rev.lizzieJubilee Episcopal Church in Austin, TX - JubileeATX.org  More about Mother Laura:https://www.instagram.com/laura.peaches/https://www.tiktok.com/@mother_peachesSt. Paul's Episcopal Church in Pittsburgh, PA Theme music:"On Our Own Again" by Blue Dot Sessions (www.sessions.blue). New episodes drop Mondays at 7am EST/6am CST! 

Repentance and forgiveness are central themes of scripture, both Hebrew scriptures and the Gospel, and yet the work of reconciling conflict still feels at times: so confounding, so anaphylactic that you might think that we – as a culture, as a Church – have fudged our resumes. And yet, matters of conflict and repentance (or unrepentance) and forgiveness feel so prescient and urgent both for our ordinary lives in community and relationship, and for the health of our country, our world. What is forgiveness? How do you forgive? When do you forgive, and when do you withhold forgiveness? What if the other person is unrepentant? What if it’s a series of repeat offenses? What if the conflict is within a community? What if the conflict is between factions, or political parties, or across an unassailable power dynamic? We are not going to solve this puzzle today but we’re going to talk both big and small about this thing: forgiveness. We are so grateful to be joined by the Rev. Cate Anthony in this week! Like what you hear?We'd love your support on Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/AndAlsoWithYouPodcastThere's all kinds of perks including un-aired live episodes, Zoom retreats, and mailbag episodes for our Patreons!Keep up with us on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/andalsowithyoupodcast/ More about Father Lizzie:PRE-ORDER HER BOOK: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/762683/god-didnt-make-us-to-hate-us-by-rev-lizzie-mcmanus-dail/ (if you like this episode in particular?

In this episode we discuss a timeless topic but we are recording it in the context of the new year.  It is early January, a time when people are typically thinking about their goals and intentions for the new year.  Having habits, goals, etc. isn’t inherently a bad thing!  But it becomes tricky when we think we can somehow be “better” people.   There is a prevalent thought within Christianity that our faith is supposed to make us better people.  In this episode Laura and Ethan talk about resolutions and how they might relate to our faith. Like what you hear?We'd love your support on Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/AndAlsoWithYouPodcastThere's all kinds of perks including un-aired live episodes, Zoom retreats, and mailbag episodes for our Patreons!Keep up with us on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/andalsowithyoupodcast/ More about Father Lizzie:PRE-ORDER HER BOOK: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/762683/god-didnt-make-us-to-hate-us-by-rev-lizzie-mcmanus-dail/https://www.instagram.com/rev.lizzie/https://www.tiktok.com/@rev.lizzieJubilee Episcopal Church in Austin, TX - JubileeATX.org  More about Mother Laura:https://www.instagram.com/laura.peaches/https://www.tiktok.com/@mother_peachesSt. Paul's Episcopal Church in Pittsburgh, PA Theme music:"On Our Own Again" by Blue Dot Sessions (www.sessions.blue). New episodes drop Mondays at 7am EST/6am CST! 

In the midst of a really big season in the life of the church (Christmas!) it’s tempting to think, this is it!  This is the best the church has got!  And big grand occasions are special in the life of the church.  But the church has so much to offer in addition to these big occasions.  This week we reflect on how weird and good  church can be in the little, every day moments.  We have one of our very weird and good friends here to talk about this with us today, the Rev. Spencer Cantrell.  Like what you hear?We'd love your support on Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/AndAlsoWithYouPodcastThere's all kinds of perks including un-aired live episodes, Zoom retreats, and mailbag episodes for our Patreons!Keep up with us on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/andalsowithyoupodcast/ More about Father Lizzie:PRE-ORDER HER BOOK: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/762683/god-didnt-make-us-to-hate-us-by-rev-lizzie-mcmanus-dail/ (if you like this episode in particular?
