<p>Today's podcast is about the elitism that Jesus faced in this week's gospel reading and how that relates to elitism in the LGBTQ+ community and The Episcopal Church.</p><p>Tea: Yuja cha (Korean citrus tea)</p><p>Gospel: Mark 6:1-13</p><p>Song: Enviado soy de Dios (traditional Latin-American song)</p>

<p>Jesus heals two women with important stories.</p><p><strong>Tea: Jasmine green tea</strong></p><p><strong>1:25 – Mark 5:21-43</strong></p><p>4:55 – Jesus heals along the way: an example of intersectionality at work.</p><p>9:41 – Jesus breaks down societal barriers; a modern example of “cleanliness” culture is the treatment of HIV+ people in the LGBTQ+ community, even after advancements in medical treatment.</p><p>14:58 – Jesus heals even after all hope seems lost.</p><p>16:29 – An issue with Oxford’s Bible commentary on Mark 5:42</p><p>19:25 – Jesus heals the young woman and orders her community to support her: an injunction for us not to forget those we treat through our ministry.</p><p>21:47 – Jesus taught us through so many examples for us to follow in our walk of faith.</p><p>22:36 – <strong>Song of the week: “Canción de Sanidad”</strong> by Juan Luís Guerra; sung by Dr. Sandra Montes</p>

I usually attribute it to Jesus Adrian Romero, who has one of the earliest recordings of this song.</p>

<p>Here are my thoughts about this week's gospel reading, which includes the parable of the grain and the parable of the mustard seed.</p><p><strong>Tea: Yuja Cha (Korean yuzu/citrus tea)</strong></p><p><strong>1:12 - Mark 4:26-34</strong></p><p><strong>2:40 - </strong>Jesus uses the grain and mustard as examples of community, sustenance, and nourishment</p><p><strong>7:04 - </strong>Marsha P. Johnson started the Pride movement, but we often forget her legacy in our current celebrations/observances. The movement has grown, but we need to make sure not to kill it by whitewashing it.</p><p><strong>10:42 - </strong>Recap: The Kingdom of God is community</p><p><strong>11:24 - Song of the week: Unidos (by Benjamin Villanueva; <em>Wonder, Love, and Praise </em>#797)</strong></p><p>Thank you for listening!
