Still Have doubts?

Clobber The Clobber Passages

Learn how the clobber passage are misinterpreted & find liberating messages instead

Are you sick of defending yourself or your loved ones against the Bible? Maybe you even have some doubts yourself?

In this workshop, we go over all the “clobber passages” (including the ones used against transgender folks) and show how they’ve been twisted and misrepresented — they don’t condemn LGBTQ people.

But then we go two steps further showing you how even these passages might have a liberating message and how to use everything you’re learning to have more effective conversations with people still on the journey.

Journey Into The Bible is the next step in reclaiming the Bible on your terms, in community with LGBTQ+ Christians and allies

We are
queer, trans Christians
creating the theology of our liberation

— Welcome, Friend!

We’re so glad you’re here. When we came out (ages ago) there weren’t very many resources for LGBTQ+ Christians and pretty much all of the resources that DID exist only asked if it was okay to be gay. While that question matters and is a great starting point, there’s so much more! We wanted to create a space where people could explore how their sexuality and gender identity enriched their faith! Where people could make friends, and grow their faith, and transform their lives. This is the place we’ve created and have been running since 2013.

We’re so excited to be on this journey with you and can’t wait to get to know you! So say hello and let’s dive in!

Join LGBTQ+ Christians, and straight cisgender allies, around the world in receiving inclusive quotes and Bible passages, with questions for reflection — delivered daily

I know that God loves me and wants me to carry forward Christ's love and care into the world. I am transgender because God wanted this and anyone who is uncomfortable with my core being is refusing to accept God's creation and will. Queer Theology is a way for me to reconcile my love for Christ and identity as a transgender Christian.

Kathryn Mahan

Queer Theology is providing a platform for soul inquiry which is accessible, readable, and doesn't feel like a crash-course in seminary. Its resources read like I think, like my friends and I talk, and it's doing theology in a way that feels very human and humane. Shay and Brian have done a lot of work to pry the floorboards off of the mainstream conversation about queer faith (like the "clobber passages" and focusing on single-issue problems like marriage), in order to do much more foundational work

Emmett Jean

Queer Theology is a place to find resources to better understand how sexual and gender diversity fit within a Christian worldview. More than that, it is an affirming community where I've discovered how my queerness not only informs but affirms my faith. Thanks to you, I've understood that faith and sexuality are not separate and distinct, but rather intertwined into our human experience of God and the world.
