Join us as we sit Across the Counter from documentary filmmaker Sharon Roggio.

In this ATC Episode:


• Growing up as a queer individual in an evangelical family in South Philadelphia, Sharon Roggio, also known as Rocky, faced unique and challenging experiences. This episode uncovers her journey, from the origin of her nickname to navigating life as a lesbian with a pastor father.

• Through her award-winning documentary, Rocky reveals a possible  mistranslation in the Bible concerning the word "homosexual," aiming to reshape the dialogue around LGBTQIA+ inclusion in Christianity. We explore her relationship with her father and the broader implications of biblical misinterpretations.

• We dig deep into the ancient contexts of biblical texts, questioning long-held interpretations of marriage, sexuality, and gender. The conversation spotlights the significance of eunuchs and highlights how "clobber passages" have been historically used to suppress marginalized groups.
