Thanksgivathon!

Here at Yass, Jesus! we are thankful for YOU, our listeners. (Yes, we’re still thankful for blow jobs, too – a la 2020.) This year we wanted to take a moment to hear directly from the Yassuits about the blessings you find in daily life, and to feel thankful for the strong community we’re building. P.S. If you don’t know what a “Yassuit” is, you haven’t been watching our Instagram Live enough!  Hint: Yass Jesuits is what Azariah used to call our listeners, but on his last Q&A with you all it was pretty clear that “Yassuits” just rolls of the tongue better.  YOU SPEAK, WE LISTEN.

Confession and Forgiveness

While we don’t always confess our wrongdoing to the people who are hurt by it, just acknowledging our behavior can be a powerful step.  Forgiveness doesn’t mean letting people hurt us all over again.

King James Was a Homo

We’ve spent previous episodes talking about the importance of translations in the Bible, and today we look at how translations play a role in the story of King James, who we think was pretty queer, who kept his own lovers, but also prosecuted LGBTQ+ people and sponsored a version of the bible that has been used against the LGBTQ+ community for a long, long time.

1946: The Mistranslation that Shifted a Culture

What if the word “homosexual” was never meant to be in the bible? This is the question being asked by our guest Sharon “Rocky” Roggio, Producer and Director of 1946: The Mistranslation that Shifted a Culture. If the word “Homosexual” wasn’t even invented until 1868, how could it have been written into the bible without the influence of modern society? Hear about when and how homosexuality as a sin was introduced, and how 1946 seeks to change the narrative built in that pivotal moment.
