0:00.0	Welcome to the Calm Down. This week, my guests are two of my good friends who wish to be referred to only by their first names as they're sharing some anti-establishment opinions.
0:10.3	Brianna is a poet who got her master's with me at the University of Virginia, and her husband, Patrick, has a master's degree in biblical and theological studies and teaches the Bible at a private high school.
0:21.1	Brianna and Patrick are dedicated to questioning and exploring their faith in big ways,
0:25.6	and today we'll talk about their changes of heart as young Christians,
0:28.7	what the Bible says about homosexuality in its historical context,
0:32.4	and how queerness just might help save the Christian faith.
0:36.2	We've already covered the panic. Now here's the calm down.
0:40.7	All right. I'm here with two of the most lovely people that I know, my friends, Brianna and Patrick,
0:47.4	and they are a lovely little married couple who have a beautiful child. And they, I know Brianna from getting our

1:30.1	And so I wanted to, since this show has been a lot about like, look at all these terrible
1:34.2	things that fundamentalist Christians have done. I just wanted to talk to my dear friends
1:38.9	about sort of this, this conflict between queerness and Christianity and whether or not it actually should exist or not.
1:48.3	And so these two are going to talk today. Patrick has his master's degree in theological studies.
1:53.2	He's got a lot to say on the Bible.
1:54.9	And me and Brianna will definitely be popping in there because we also are, yeah, I think we all have a lot to say.
2:01.2	Absolutely.
2:02.1	So thank you both so much for coming on.
