b'In today\\u2019s episode, we answer a reader question about how certain ideas about what happened on the cross (what theology geeks call \\u201cpenal substitutionary atonement\\u201d) and other harmful interpretation passages can foster shame and decrease a queer person\\u2019s self-esteem. \\u201cFor some reason, this is something I still struggle with, perhaps due to the toxic church environment I grew up in.\\u201d\\xa0\\nWe also queer this week\\u2019s passage from Luke 24:13-35. We talk about how beautiful it is for Jesus to have made an impact on his disciples that it allows him to reveal himself through simple gestures: gestures and actions that are somehow recognizable to those closest to him.\\xa0\\nIn this episode, we talk about:\\n\\nQueering the Bible course update [0:39]\\nShout out to Kaya Oakes who is our dear friend and has been a supporter ever since [5:50]\\nA reader question about his struggles with the verse about Jesus dying on the cross for our sins [7:10]\\nThe atonement [8:04]\\nQueer people were created in God\\u2019s image (also) [11:30]\\nInvitation to Sanctuary Collective [15:51]\\nWe queer a text from Luke 24:13-35 [16:36]\\nBrian\\u2019s view of Jesus [19:01]\\nThings Jesus did that’s recognizable to others [22:40]\\nBreaking the bread moment [24:07]\\n“Recognition that we can find Jesus in these small moments that breakthrough in our daily lives.” [24:26]\\n\\nRemember registration for Queering The Bible is now open and will end on Thursday, April 30, 2020.

They were talking to each other about everything that had happened. While they were discussing these things, Jesus himself arrived and joined them on their journey. They were prevented from recognizing him.\\nHe said to them, \\u201cWhat are you talking about as you walk along?\\u201d They stopped, their faces downcast.\\nThe one named Cleopas replied, \\u201cAre you the only visitor to Jerusalem who is unaware of the things that have taken place there over the last few days?\\u201d\\nHe said to them, \\u201cWhat things?\\u201d\\nThey said to him, \\u201cThe things about Jesus of Nazareth. Because of his powerful deeds and words, he was recognized by God and all the people as a prophet. But our chief priests and our leaders handed him over to be sentenced to death, and they crucified him. We had hoped he was the one who would redeem Israel. All these things happened three days ago. But there\\u2019s more: Some women from our group have left us stunned. They went to the tomb early this morning and didn\\u2019t find his body. They came to us saying that they had even seen a vision of angels who told them he is alive. Some of those who were with us went to the tomb and found things just as the women said. They didn\\u2019t see him.\\u201d\\nThen Jesus said to them, \\u201cYou foolish people! Your dull minds keep you from believing all that the prophets talked about. Wasn\\u2019t it necessary for the Christ to suffer these things and then enter into his glory?\\u201d Then he interpreted for them the things written about himself in all the scriptures, starting with Moses and going through all the Prophets.\\nWhen they came to Emmaus, he acted as if he was going on ahead. But they urged him, saying, \\u201cStay with us. It\\u2019s nearly evening, and the day is almost over.\\u201d So he went in to stay with them. After he took his seat at the table with them, he took the bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them. Their eyes were opened and they recognized him, but he disappeared from their sight. They said to each other, \\u201cWeren\\u2019t our hearts on fire when he spoke to'
