b'We are talking with Candace Simpson on this episode of our Guest Series about a God who gives a damn with no room for cheap, easy theology!\\xa0\\nCandace (she/they) is a sister, educator and preacher. She went to Trinity College and Union Theological Seminary and served as site coordinator for the Concord Freedom School for several years. It is their joy to design immersive participatory experiences where people can \\u201cbe responsible for their own learning.\\u201d She is one of the associate ministers at Concord Baptist Church of Christ in Brooklyn, New York. Most recently, Minister Simpson served on a team of Faith and Justice Educators at a faith-based non-profit. She\\u2019s most interested in the possibilities (and limits) of Christian Education infrastructure as a form of political education.\\nWe are loving this conversation about finding queerness in the Bible and using that to connect with faith in really beautiful ways. Candace talks about what keeps them Christian, sleep as spiritual practice, and the existential anxiety that comes with facing a world that can\\u2019t seem to recognize how close the possibility is of heaven on Earth. In her words, \\u201cHeaven is a revolution that must begin here on Earth.\\u201d I mean.. SO MUCH YES!!\\nResources:\\n\\nFish Sandwich Heaven website: https://www.fishsandwichheaven.com/\\xa0\\nWebsite: https://faithandleadership.com/authors/candace-simpson\\nSocial: Instagram: @candycornball, Twitter: @CandyCornball\\nRev.
