    Alicia Johnston: Into Ministry

    Alicia Johnston was a pastor in the Seventh-day Adventist church until the Pulse tragedy made her pause and reflect on how the Christian church was treating LGBTQI+ people. It also started her on a journey that would lead her to come out as both bi and LGBTQ affirming.  Join us as we kick off Pride Month reflecting on Alicias story, her calling to ministry and the beauty of an identity birthed in Jesus. She also has recently finished a book called The Bible and LGBTQ Adventists. According to SDAKinship, "Her hope is that this book can empower LGBTQ Adventists to accept themselves with full confidence, and provide their family and friends with a framework for acceptance within the theological language of the Adventist church." This is a book for every LGBTQ Adventist, their churches, families and friends. The Kick Starter campaign starts on June 18, 2021.  Instagram: @enough.room Facebook: @Enoughroompodact Twitter: @EnoughRoomhere or via their website: enoughroom.captivate.fm or email: enough.room@4hg.com.au

    Alicia Johnston: It’s OK

    Reflecting on the Pulse shooting hit hard and hit home for Alicia. Join Dan and Jo as they listen in on Alicia’s story of moving from the margins of the LGBTQ+ community to the margins of the Adventist community. Where do we draw the line between those communities, and why? How long will it take for the church to realise these two communities are far more intertwined than they think? What happens when we really start to look deeper into theology and explore why the church has left a community on the margins?

    Alicia Johnston: In the Image of God

    If I were to ask you if you are created in the image of God, what would your answer be? The truth that we are created in the image of God is the most basic and fundamental truth about ourselves and our value. Join Jo and Dan as they continue their series with Alicia Johnston as we begin our journey into a beautiful theological conversation around being LGBTQ and Christian. Beginning with what it means to be created in the image of God, the next few episodes in this series will focus on some key biblical arguments and themes that often have been used to marginalise and demonise LGBTQ+ people in the church. There are beautiful gems to behold as we look back into the bible and learn more about God and us. The Kickstarter campaign for Alicia’s book The Bible and LGBTQ Adventists starts June 18.

    Alicia Johnston: Creation, Gender and the Sabbath

    Alicia's book, The Bible and LGBTQ Adventists makes a huge claim; "Full affirmation of same-sex marriage and transgender identity is the most biblical approach. It’s not biblical to oppose same-sex marriage or transgender identity. Though well-intentioned, the institutional church has gotten this question completely wrong." In this episode Dan and Jo directly address this claim. Together with Alicia, they explore the beginning of the bible and what it says about gender diversity and non heterosexual relationships. Join us as we explore the non-binary nature of creation. The Kickstarter campaign for Alicia’s book The Bible and LGBTQ Adventists is live now.

    Alicia Johnston: Understanding Context

    The Bible is a collection of books written by different authors from different centuries, cultures and even languages. So how do we find the answers to the questions we seek around the Bible and LGBTQ+ affirming Theology. Whether you are a LGBTQ+ Christian, a concerned parent or a friend looking for answers, this is a question we all face when we approach the Bible. As special guest Pastor Alicia Johnston takes us further into the Bible and LGBTQ+ affirming theology, we reflect on the importance of context and understanding the Who, Why and When of scripture. When we take Bible verses out of context, we end up making the Bible say things it was never meant to. Alicia states that "Part of our calling as Adventist Christians is to seek out the truth that God has revealed in scripture. That’s our heritage. That’s our history. And that’s still our responsibility." Join Dan and Jo as they continue their conversation with Alicia and begin their journey into the some of the most challenging questions in the Bible.

    Alicia Johnston: Sodom, Leviticus and the sin of Ham

    There are two passages in the Old Testament that people often point to as examples of the Bible calling out homosexuality as sin. The first being the story of Sodom and the second being a law in Leviticus chapter 18. But was Sodom really a city full of homosexuals? What is the law in Leviticus referring to? In this episode Dan and Jo as they continue their discussion with Pastor Alicia Johnston and delve into the story of Sodom, the law in Leviticus and a surprising connection to another very famous story in the Bible. Join them as they start in Leviticus and connect the dots from Leviticus, through to Sodom and all the way back to the days of Noah.

    Alicia Johnston: Paul and Homosexuality

    Some of the most famous clobber passages are found in Paul's letters. The passages have been used to demonise and push many LGBTQ+ people out of church and society. Yet are we reading these passages correctly or have we been lazy with our reading and interpretation? In this episode Alicia takes us through some fo these passages and the original language they were written in. We take a look at what Paul is actually talking about and the words he uses. Words that upon closer inspection, may not actually line up with how we have come to interpret and understand these clobber passages.
