In this special Mother’s Day episode, we reflect on John 15:9–17 through a queer theological lens, exploring how chosen family, queer kinship, and radical love embody Jesus’ commandment to “abide in my love.” With personal stories, affirming scripture, and wisdom from queer voices like Audre Lorde and bell hooks, we honor all who mother—regardless of gender, biology, or tradition. Whether you’ve been mothered by drag queens, trans elders, or quiet acts of friendship, this episode is for you. You are chosen. You are abiding. You are beloved.

In this Third Sunday of Easter reflection, we wade into the sacred waters of John 21, where the apostles fish naked in the night, and the risen Christ waits on the shore with a fire already burning. Through queer eyes and open hearts, we explore vulnerability, chosen family, the intimacy of restoration, and the radical hospitality of Jesus — who doesn’t ask for perfection, just love.

Join us as we cast our nets into queer theology, embrace the beauty of spiritual nakedness, and break bread on the beach with the One who still says, “Come and eat.”

Come as you are and find belonging in this special Queer Church worship.

We reflect on Scripture readings of bold faith, sacred wounds, and living peace, and honor the legacy of Pope Francis, a leader who sought to expand mercy.

Through prayer, Communion, and celebration, we proclaim that every identity and every story is part of God’s beautiful creation.

Wherever you are on your journey — certain, doubting, celebrating, or healing — you are welcome here.

Join us as we lean into fierce love, living hope, and radical inclusion.
