b'For our very first Summer Series Favorites episode, Fr. Shay chose one from 2018 where Jesus tells his followers to leave and shake the dust of their sandals if they encounter towns unwilling to listen to their message. This passage from Mark 6:1-13 is one that we\\u2019ve talked about a few times in podcast episodes and articles over the years. But there\\u2019s still new insight to be found which is why we\\u2019re talking about it again!\\nIn this episode, we explore the impulse folks have to stay in churches, communities, and families that don\\u2019t affirm and won\\u2019t listen to them\\u2026 where that comes from, can we be helpful if we stay, what happens if we leave, who benefits?\\n \\nReferenced in this episode:\\n\\nEpisode looking at Mark 1 where John the Baptist also says to \\u201cchange your heart and life\\u201d\\n\\u201cShake It Off, Shake It Off\\u201d \\u2014 our first time looking at this passage\\n\\n \\nIf you want to support the Patreon and help keep the podcast up and running, you can learn more and pledge your support at patreon.com/queertheology.\\n \\nWhat\\u2019s your favorite episode?

On the Sabbath, he began to teach in the synagogue. Many who heard him were surprised. \\u201cWhere did this man get all this? What\\u2019s this wisdom he\\u2019s been given? What about the powerful acts accomplished through him? Isn\\u2019t this the carpenter? Isn\\u2019t he Mary\\u2019s son and the brother of James, Joses, Judas, and Simon? Aren\\u2019t his sisters here with us?\\u201d They were repulsed by him and fell into sin.\\n \\nJesus said to them, \\u201cProphets are honored everywhere except in their own hometowns, among their relatives, and in their own households.\\u201d He was unable to do any miracles there, except that he placed his hands on a few sick people and healed them. He was appalled by their disbelief.\\n \\nThen Jesus traveled through the surrounding villages teaching.\\n \\nHe called for the Twelve and sent them out in pairs. He gave them authority over unclean spirits. He instructed them to take nothing for the journey except a walking stick\\u2014no bread, no bags, and no money in their belts. He told them to wear sandals but not to put on two shirts. He said, \\u201cWhatever house you enter, remain there until you leave that place. If a place doesn\\u2019t welcome you or listen to you, as you leave, shake the dust off your feet as a witness against them.\\u201d So they went out and proclaimed that people should change their hearts and lives. They cast out many demons, and they anointed many sick people with olive oil and healed them.\\n\\n \\nPhoto by Egor Vikhrev\\nThe post Leaving Can Be Good For You & Them [Summer Series] appeared first on Queer Theology.'
