b'In this episode, we answer a question from a listener and Sanctuary Collective member about money and how some churches, organizations, or congregations make their members feel guilty about giving small pledges or sometimes nothing at all.\\xa0\\nWe queered the text from 1 Thessalonians 5:16-24 which ties back to the listener question of having the ability to make choices. How? You\\u2019ll have to stay tuned to find out. This passage was also Brian\\u2019s touchstone Bible passage as he was starting to question his sexuality. More of that in this episode.\\xa0\\nKey takeaways:\\n\\nBrian, Soul Safe workshop and queer holidays [0:40]\\nFr.

Pray continually. Give thanks in every situation because this is God\\u2019s will for you in Christ Jesus. Don\\u2019t suppress the Spirit. Don\\u2019t brush off Spirit-inspired messages, but examine everything carefully and hang on to what is good. Avoid every kind of evil. Now, may the God of peace himself cause you to be completely dedicated to him; and may your spirit, soul, and body be kept intact and blameless at our Lord Jesus Christ\\u2019s coming.\\xa0 The one who is calling you is faithful and will do this.\\n\\n \\nPhoto by Kelly Sikkema\\nThe post What is Good & Right – 1 Thessalonians 5:16-24 appeared first on Queer Theology.'
