Still Beloved. Still Queer

In this Lent episode, Anny Stevens-Gleason and Tym House talk wilderness, temptation, and what it means to live as beloved. Starting with a hilariously difficult Romans reading and moving into Matthew’s story of Jesus being led by the Spirit “to be tempted,” they explore identity, community, and the way doubt gets weaponized—especially against queer people in religious spaces. 

They reflect on how translation and interpretation shape what we think Scripture “says,” why power loves an us-versus-them theology, and how queer joy can look like finding your people, setting the table, and refusing to be gaslit out of your belovedness.
