Cameron & The Prodigal Church
For the final episode of season one, Jonah speaks with their husband and co-pastor Cameron Malakai Overton. Cameron shares his own story, from conservative small town fish-out-of-water to fully out trans man, urban pastor, and all around agitator for the kingdom. Part of his lifelong transformation has included reorienting to a Bible passage that he once thought he starred in - the prodigal son. Now he’s looking at that story from a different vantage point, and wondering if he and God the Father both are actually waiting for the church to come home at long last.

Jay & the Holy Wrestling Match
Jay Williams III is pastor of Union Church in Boston, which has the distinction go being the first historically Black United Methodist congregation ever to become officially LGBTQ affirming. As a queer Black man himself, Jay shares how the support of his family and congregation has given him both the support and the responsibility to help build a transformed church where future generations can all share in the freedom to explore who God created them to be. To do so, Jay argues that we must not gloss over the complexities of the scriptures, but wrestle with them to receive the true gifts of the scripture, which is true liberation for all.
