| 0:05.0 | Hey, I'm Darren. |
| 0:10.0 | And I'm Esther, and this is Second Sunday, a podcast about black queer people finding, |
| 0:16.0 | keeping, and sometimes losing faith. One of the reasons that church right now, religion is in such a mess, such a quandary, is because the people that really have the |
| 0:35.7 | answers are the people that are least welcome. They have the answers because they're |
| 0:41.6 | not stuck. They have the answers because they're not stuck. They have the answers because they're not |
| 0:45.6 | stuck by the walls and the jail that is religion. Now that's powerful to me to just immediately name that the church needs the people who the church has not been very welcoming of. |
| 1:04.0 | If you look back through church history, that's who's made it better for all of us, high-key. |

| 2:14.0 | I'm honored that we have Bishop Yvette Flunder kicking off season 2. |
