    YOF004: Gender Minorities, Part 2

    What now? Last episode, we defined who gender minorities are, people inside the Church and out who don’t fit typically into the gendered binary, answering some “dumb questions” about their lived experience. But how do we love gender minorities well, including welcoming them in “Side B” spaces like Your Other Family? Join us for Part 2 of this important conversation as Tom, Erin, and Jesse address the questions, concerns, and fears from our YOB and YOS community members who submitted anonymous feedback. Some of this feedback is uncomfortable. Unknowns are often uncomfortable. We want to enter into healthy conflict with one another and explore the unknown with curious empathy. We hope you enter our discussion with your spirit open, ready to receive whatever Jesus has for you as we all navigate, reclaim, and integrate the complexities of our faith, sexuality, and gender. Together.

    YOS003: Queer Representation in Media

    Erin welcomes back Ashley and introduces Tangle for a discussion inspired by conversations from the Life on Side B and Your Other Brothers podcasts. So much can be said about queer representation in the media, especially as more queer stories have been told in the last couple years. Join us as we discuss our favorite TV shows and movies, including how queer characters have impacted them, and what we would like to see in future queer media productions. We end our episode with a lightning round of guessing the sexualities of cartoon villains from our childhood! LINKS FROM THIS EPISODE Curious about the Hays Code? Follow Erin on Letterboxd!

    YOB113: Non-Sexual Nudity

    Ten years of the YOBcast and not a single nudity episode?! Until now. Join Tom, Ryan, Matt, and a special guest to discuss this important intersection of nudity, body image, and vulnerability with other men. How did our familial and peer upbringings shape our relationship with nudity as adults? How have we – or haven’t we – entered nude environments like doctor’s offices, locker rooms, and Korean spas? We share stories of how appropriate, non-sexual nudity has initiated deeper brotherhood, and also stories of insecurity or lack of desire to be nude with other men. Wherever you fall on this “nudity desire spectrum,” we hope this episode helps you reconsider your relationship with your own body, as well as your embodied relationships with the men around you. We also discuss Sam Allberry’s resignation and the impact on our community. LINKS FROM THIS EPISODE Sponsor a gay sheep! YOB ConvoCast 100: Tom & Ryan Tease the Topics to Come!
