Beyond Queer Apologetics | Monday Invocation
“I had not yet learned to tell the difference between God and certain interpretations of the Bible. That was a grace that God was giving to me.”
Billie Hoard
What if your faith journey took you beyond simply defending LGBTQ+ inclusion in Christianity, and into a place where your identity becomes a wellspring of spiritual flourishing?
In this Conference session, we join host Mason Mennenga alongside guests Tamice Spencer-Helms and Billie Hoard for a candid conversation on the podcast A People’s Theology. Together, they explore the shift from Queer Apologetics, which focuses on defending queerness within faith, to Queer Theology, which celebrates the unique gifts and perspectives that queerness brings to spirituality.
Drawing from their own definitions of Queer Apologetics and Queer Theology, the guests talk about how these concepts helped shape their personal journeys, how they engage with the church, and their relationship with the Bible now.
