Bridget Eileen Rivera is a sociologist, writer, and committed Christ-follower. She is the author of a book titled Heavy Burdens, and her work explores orthodox theology and LGBTQ issues in the church.

In this episode, we discuss Bridget’s journey of coming out in the church, confronting shame, and embracing a faith that doesn't demand she be straight or celibate to be loved by God.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
