In this episode we explore what my friend, Cami Minehart, experienced as a queer person within a religious structure that seemed to fight her identity at every turn. You'll hear all about Cami's journey of "unleavening" Christianity, challenging and disentangling herself from certain toxic religious structures, and finding a more authentic faith journey.
We'll also pull back the curtain on the lesser-known narrative of King Solomon, and his harem of 300 wives and 700 concubines. It's a story that raises questions about the relationships these women might have developed as a coping mechanism. What's more, we'll dive into Kemi's exploration of her queer identity through writing erotica, reimagining Solomon Tarim's harem in a unique way. This is about seeing a biblical tale from a fresh perspective, and acknowledging the untold stories that could change the way we perceive religious texts.
Join us for a candid reflection on Cami's forthcoming book, and how our spiritual discussions have played a significant role in her journey. We'll touch on the power of music, emotions, and connection in processing life's challenging moments. Finally, we'll examine the potency of spirituality, logic, and facts to bring healing and beauty to our lives. So, come along, for a thought-provoking episode that promises to inspire and challenge you in equal measure.
