    Listening to Marginalized Voices with Rev. Brooke Scott

    Today I am talking to the wonderful Reverend Brooke Scott, who, I owe an apology to. Because this episode was recorded so long ago she was not yet a rev. And now she is the pastor of a whole ass church called Church on Main, she has had articles written about how radically inclusive she is, she’s amazing and super smart. You may recognize her from her appearances on the TLDR Bible show podcast where she says really smart things and I learned a lot from listening to her. I also learned a lot from this conversation. We talk about Brooke’s call to ministry, what it’s like coming out of evangelical spaces into a more queer inclusive faith, we bond a little bit over our mutually deceased parents, and why cheap Christian platitudes are not helpful for grieving or healing. There’s a lot in this episode so we might as well get right into it. So sit back, grab your noise cancelling headphones, and prepare for this weeks info dump.

    Bearing Witness with Tori Jameson

    Welcome to the Autistic Mystic, my name is Jeff, I am the autistic mystic, apologies on the front end for the delay in getting new episodes out, I put out an update the other day about my computer troubles but I will be posting 2 episodes a week for the next few weeks to catch up. Today I am joined by the unstoppable Tori Jameson, Tori is a pastor in St. Louis and the founder of Lot’s Wife Trans and Queer Chaplaincy where they minister to the oft overlooked and extra marginalized letters of the LGBTQ2PIA+ community. Tori is an activist and community organizer and if there is social activism happening they are right there in the thick of it using their voice and privilege to give space and a platform for those marginalized communities. In this conversation we talk about the progressive clergy movement, tone policing, the meaning behind the name Lots Wife trans and queer chaplaincy and how churches can better care for and serve the trans community. A quick note, my son woke up twice during this recording, I’ve edited the interruptions out, but because we were live on tiktok while recording Tori had some really good conversations with the people watching. I’m including one of those conversations at the end of the episode so if you want to hear that keep listening after the outro. Okay, I’m gonna stop talking so we can get right into it, so sit back, grab your noise cancelling headphones, and strap yourself in for this week’s info dump.
