Rendezbrew Lance & Kenny
-
- Religion & Spirituality
Rendezbrew is a reboot of Spiritualitea, now hosted by Lance and regularly guest co-hosted by his husband Kenny (we are working up to him co-hosting, no promises yet). The ultimate goal is for us, and occasional guests, to discuss religion and spirituality, politics, health, mental health, and other parts of life that impact us all. We will have regular discussions of the underlying issues for current events and news headlines, as well as exploring ways to bring spirituality into our busy lives whether we have a religion, believe in a deity, or not all over a nice cup of tea or coffee.

Episode Five: Mosque Shooting, LGBT+ Rights, Project Blitz, & Anthem
This week Kenny and Lance discuss the tragic shootings at the two mosques in Christ Church, New Zealand; the state of LGBTIQQA+ rights under Trump; what Project Blitz and why it scares Lance; and it's rounded with a discussion of a game Kenny and Lance love to play, and what is coming up next week. The word sh*t is standard for the couple, so just be aware if you let the kids listen. Swearing is pretty regular, if we are honest about it.

LGBTIQQA+ Rights in America under Trump- National Center for Trans Equality, Americans United for the Separation of Church and State;
Project Blitz- The Guardian, Religion Dispatches, The Humanist Magazine, Blitz Watch;
