This week, we go over the alphabet soup that is the LGBTQIA acronym for any listening allies out there. What do all those letters mean and how do we ask questions when we truly don't know where to start? Topics also include use of the word Queer, how to be a great ally, and how to not be awkward about asking for someone's pronouns.

We are beyond excited to share this interview with Rachel Pierce, a small Youtuber and accidental Angeleno. Rachel opens up about her faith background, living in the tension of non-affirming church communities, demisexuality, and how the graph that represents gender, romantic orientation and sexual orientation needs at least three axies to really encompass everything.

Join us as we review the amazingly researched, well loved (especially by us) book, God and the Gay Christian by Matthew Vines. We discuss the difference between high view and low view of scripture, cultural and historial context, spiritual gifts, and why Galileo got the short end of the stick.

Join us as we talk about what has brought us to this point and what spurred the two of us to start Moving Mountains, a podcast about being queer and Christian. We talk briefly about our background in Christian culture, our feelings on the Nashville Statement and how we think we should respond, and most importantly, about Harry Potter name references and video games. It's as good a place to start as any.

Former Bachelor Clayton Echard’s casual one-night fling turned into a paternity nightmare. When the news broke about the scandal, no one believed Clayton at first. He was a reality TV star, and an unpopular one at that. Clayton found himself trying to prove the truth, while trapped in a web of lies, manipulation, and threats. He would soon discover he was not the only one. At its core, this is a story about who you believe and why. It’s an epic battle that would take a group of strangers, citizen sleuths from across the world, to crack the case and finally hold someone accountable. New episodes of Love Trapped are released every Thursday, starting February 26th, 2026.
