About this episode
Brandan Robertson discusses the importance of community and inclusivity in the church, emphasizing the need to create one's own space rather than seeking a place at the existing table.
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
