b'In today\\u2019s episode, we answer a listener question from Tumblr asking for book recommendations for their mom to read. While we share some really good books that we think are going to help anyone who wants to learn more about queerness, we also want you to check first if that\\u2019s something your parent wants.\\nWe then queer the text from Judges which celebrates people who defy gender norms. We read about Deborah who was the leader of Israel at that time. Why is that important to note? Remember that women were considered inferior and were not to hold any high positions, but in this text, the leader was Deborah — a woman.\\nKey takeaways:\\n\\nElection week update [0:44]\\nThe super-secret project will be out on November 17 [8:10]\\nA listener asked for a recommendation on queer books for their mom to read [13:34]\\nIs your mom asking for a book?

So the Lord gave them over to King Jabin of Canaan, who reigned in Hazor. The commander of his army was Sisera, and he was stationed in Harosheth-ha-goiim. The Israelites cried out to the Lord because Sisera had nine hundred iron chariots and had oppressed the Israelites cruelly for twenty years.\\nNow Deborah, a prophet, the wife of Lappidoth, was a leader of Israel at that time. She would sit under Deborah\\u2019s palm tree between Ramah and Bethel in the Ephraim highlands, and the Israelites would come to her to settle disputes. She sent word to Barak, Abinoam\\u2019s son, from Kedesh in Naphtali and said to him, \\u201cHasn\\u2019t the Lord, Israel\\u2019s God, issued you a command? \\u2018Go and assemble at Mount Tabor, taking ten thousand men from the people of Naphtali and Zebulun with you. I\\u2019ll lure Sisera, the commander of Jabin\\u2019s army, to assemble with his chariots and troops against you at the Kishon River, and then I\\u2019ll help you overpower him.\\u2019\\u201d\\n\\n \\nPhoto by Paul Hanaoka\\nThe post Gender Expansive Leadership – Judges 4:1-7 appeared first on Queer Theology.'
