{"store":{"baseInfo":{"podcastTitle":"The Priesthood of All Queer Believers - The Episcopal Church of the Redeemer","slug":"thepriesthoodofallqueerbelievers","podcastDescription":"Welcome to Priesthood of All Queer Believers, a podcast exploring the intersection of the queer community and the Church—right here in Cincinnati. We’re so glad you’re here!

This is a space for real conversations about faith, identity, and belonging. For too long, the Church has overlooked the sacred truth that queer people are not just guests in God’s house—we are part of the priesthood. We are called, gifted, and essential to the life of the Church. That’s the heart of this podcast. The idea of the priesthood of all believers comes from the belief that every person—regardless of gender, sexuality, or background—is called to participate in God’s work.

Cincinnati has a deep and complex history—one of faith, one of LGBTQ+ activism, and sometimes, one of painful exclusion from religious spaces. But we believe healing is possible. Reconciliation is possible. And it starts with recognizing that the Church needs queer people. Not just as attendees, but as prophets, as pastors, as theologians, as worship leaders, as disciples. We bring something vital to the life of the Church.

In this podcast, we’ll talk with local voices—queer Christians, faith leaders, and community members—who are already living into this calling. We’ll explore what it means to build an inclusive, thriving Church where all people are affirmed in their belovedness and in their ministry. So, if you’ve ever felt like there wasn’t space for you in the Church—like you had to change who you were to belong—this podcast is for you. Because the truth is, you already belong. You are called. You are gifted. And together, we can build a Church where the priesthood of all believers truly includes all believers.

Join us as we dive into various topics affecting the LGBTQ+ Community directly, how those topics intersect the church—and where we go from here. Make sure to subscribe, share, and send us your thoughts—we want this to be a conversation, not just a broadcast. Thanks for being here. And remember, you are already part of God’s work.","podcastLogo":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/imglogo/image-logo/19992443/The_Priesthood_1400_x_1400_px_1_7mlxg.png","podcastShareLogo":"https://d2bwo9zemjwxh5.cloudfront.net/image-logo/19992443/The_Priesthood_1400_x_1400_px_1_7mlxg_1200x628.jpg?s=5fa0dad1cfa0cf309379ef21f97f16ef&e=png","podcastUrl":"https://thepriesthoodofallqueerbelievers.podbean.com","podcastCanSearched":true,"feedUrl":"https://feed.podbean.com/thepriesthoodofallqueerbelievers/feed.xml","theme":"elegant","podcastDeepLink":"https://www.podbean.com/pw/pbblog-hah5s-1310f7b?from=usersite","removePodbeanBranding":"no","brandingLogo":null,"timeZone":{"timeZoneId":15,"gmtAdjustment":"GMT-05:00","useDaylightTime":1,"value":-5,"text":"(GMT-05:00) Eastern Time (US & Canada)","daylightStartTime":"Second Sunday Of March +2 Hours","daylightEndTime":"First Sunday Of November +2 Hours","timezone":"America/New_York"},"podcastDownloads":null,"totalEpisodes":47,"showComments":true,"iOSAppDownloadLink":null,"customizeCssUrl":null,"androidAppDownloadLink":null,"showPostShare":true,"showLike":true,"author":"The Episcopal Church of the Redeemer","enableEngagementStats":true,"shareEmbedLink":"https://admin5.podbean.com/embed.html?id=pbblog-hah5s-1310f7b-playlist","language":"en","sensitivitySessionExpireTime":3600,"podcastApps":[{"name":"Podbean App","link":"https://www.podbean.com/pw/pbblog-hah5s-1310f7b?from=usersite","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/podbean-app.png","title":null}],"components":{"base":[{"id":"MainStyle","val":"light"},{"id":"Font","val":"Geometric Humanist"},{"id":"SecondaryFont","val":"Geometric Humanist"},{"id":"PlayerColor","val":"#428200"},{"id":"PlayerStyle","val":"player1"},{"id":"PlayerWave","val":"show"},{"id":"Favicon","val":null},{"id":"CookiesNotice","val":"hide"},{"id":"CookiesNoticeContent","val":"
