We\u2019re sharing our favorite aspects of queer and trans faith and spiritual practices. We talk about how we\u2019ve developed our own spiritual practices over the years, really leaning into what feels best for us and how they align with our values. The important part of creating spiritual practices is that they must be in line with your values! And sometimes finding spiritual practices means going beyond the traditional notions of what those ought to look like. We also discuss the significance of planning and setting goals, starting small and building over time, and connecting to past and future generations. Shay shares his love for journaling as a spiritual practice, while Brian discusses the power of repeating prayers and wearing physical reminders of spirituality. We invite y\u2019all to reflect on your intentions for queer faith in the new year!\n \nTakeaways\n\nSpiritual practices can go beyond traditional notions and encompass living in line with one’s values and engaging in intentional actions.\nSetting goals and planning can help individuals be more intentional with their time and live into their values.\nStarting small and building over time is a more sustainable approach to new spiritual practices.\nConnecting to past and future generations can provide a sense of continuity and inspiration in one’s spiritual journey.\nJournaling and reflective practices can be powerful tools for self-reflection and envisioning the future.\nQueerness, transness, and Christianity can intersect and inform one’s spiritual practices and understanding of faith.\nReflecting on intentions for queer faith in the new year can help individuals set meaningful goals and engage in transformative practices.\n\n \nChapters\n(1:00) Reflection on the past year\n(1:28) Rituals and intentions for the New Year\n(8:00) Living in line with values and expanding the definition of spiritual practices\n(12:03) Planning and setting goals\n(15:03) Starting small and building over time\n(17:36) Connecting to past and future generations\n(26:55) Journaling and reflective practices\n(29:15) Queerness, transness, and Christianity\n(31:10) Inviting queer faith in the New Year\n \nResources:\n\nSpiritual Study Hall\xa0\nSet up your account on our new resource platform: https://my.queertheology.com/home\xa0\xa0\nJoin the community at Sanctuary Collective.\xa0\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.\nWant to have your question featured on an episode?
