Lucas Wilson and Living Into the Questions (Live)

On a very special live episode from the 2022 Q Christian Fellowship Conference, we speak with Lucas Wilson. Lucas attended gay conversion therapy while studying at Liberty University and not only lived to tell the tale, but became an advocate for abolishing this practice altogether. A PhD Candidate at Florida Atlantic University, with a Master of Theological Studies from Vanderbilt University, Lucas has begun working in the field of critical evangelicalism studies. In our conversation, we learn about Lucas' conversion therapy experience and how inauthentic it made him feel. He also shares how eye-opening it was to continue his education after Liberty, which ultimately shaped what his faith and studies looks like today. He also tells us more about the recent lawsuit he helped file, calling to question whether religious colleges should receive federal funding while actively discriminating against LGBTQ+ students. Lucas identifies as gay and uses the gender pronouns he/him/his.

Brian Falduto and Being as Present as Possible

Brian Falduto is an actor, singer-songwriter, life coach, and host of The Gay Life Coach Podcast. At age 11, he was cast in the film, School of Rock, and later performed in various Off-Broadway and Regional theater productions. Brian attended Catholic school growing and has gone to predominantly protestant churches on and off throughout his life. After finding a church that accepted his sexuality, he was inspired to write his single, "God Loves Me Too." In our discussion, we hear the story behind the music, as well as how Brian overcame the internalized homophobia he felt growing up. Brian also shares his perspective on spirituality and mindfulness, as well as his favorite self-care practices. Brian uses the gender pronouns he/him/they/them.

Keegan Osinski and Queering Her Church

Keegan Osinski is the Librarian for Theological Studies and Ethics at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, TN. She holds a Master of Library and Information Science from the University of Washington and studied Philosophy and Theology at Point Loma Nazarene University. Her work is naturally informed by her faith. Keegan belongs to the Church of the Nazarene, which is a tradition informed by John Wesley, a well-known theologian from the 1700s. In Keegan's book, Queering Wesley, Queering the Church, she examines Wesley's sermons through a queer lens. Together we talk about her choice to stay in the Church of the Nazarene and her positive experiences within her churches, despite the denomination's unaffirming stance on queer inclusion. And while Keegan feels comfortable towing the line in her own denomination, we talk about the boundaries all of us might need to keep in mind when we disagree with a church's beliefs. Keegan identifies as queer or bisexual and uses she/her/hers pronouns. Follow Keegan on Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/keegz/">@keegz</a> and learn more on her website, <a href="http://keeganosinski.com/">keeganosinski.com</a>. You can snag a copy of Keegan's book, "Queering Wesley, Queering the Church" through <a href="https://wipfandstock.com/9781725254039/queering-wesley-queering-the-church/">Wipf and Stock Publishers</a> and on <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Queering-Wesley-Church-Keegan-Osinski/dp/1725254034/ref=sr_1_3?crid=1AGUXZ6G90Z85&keywords=queering+wesley%2C+queering+the+church&qid=1638203242&sprefix=queering+wesley%2Caps%2C153&sr=8-3">Amazon</a>. For Reflection: On the topic of attending church, whether affirming or non-affirming, Keegan shares the question, “What is the church allowed to do to me?” How can you set healthy boundaries in your relationship with church? Resources: Keegan also recommends reading, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Queer-Virtue-People-Revitalize-Christianity/dp/0807059080/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=queer+virtue&qid=1638203309&sr=8-1">"Queer Virtue: What LGBTQ People Know About Life and Love and How It Can Revitalize Christianity"</a> by Elizabeth Edman, as well as, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Sin-Amazing-Grace-Discovering-Christ/dp/1596272384/ref=sr_1_1?crid=19GNLEMIDDHB0&keywords=from+sin+to+amazing+grace&qid=1638203328&sprefix=from+sin+to+ama%2Caps%2C143&sr=8-1">"From Sin to Amazing Grace: Discovering the Queer Christ"</a> by Patrick S.
