About this episode
Brandan Robertson discusses the importance of community and inclusivity in spirituality, drawing parallels to the early church.
This week on RevCast, special guest Brandan Robertson, author of Queer and Christian , pulls up a chair to help us reset the table. Not the furniture, the one in Acts 2 where the early church ate together, shared everything, and somehow grew without a building, a budget, or a single ergonomically hostile pew. We get into who's at the table, who's missing, and why the most church-like thing in your week might be a fly fishing trip or a room of grown adults making puppets in the back of a coffee shop. Brandan closes his book with an adapted line from actor Lorenz Tate: "Never beg for a seat at the table when you can build your own damn table." Pull up a chair and join us, it's not our table anyway. Music from #Uppbeat https://uppbeat.io/t/doug-organ/code-switching License code: ACLEIQKGDLNBXD8L
