Description
<p>Tyler Parker, David Frank, and TJ introduce a new monthly-ish podcast format called the <strong>Kinship Lab</strong>, created to reflect on recent interviews/events or other emerging ideas. Comment below on any questions or topics you’d like to see in the future.</p><p>In this first Kinship Lab, they reflect on a recent two-day summit of a handful of Side B leaders, emphasizing growing capacity for fruitful conversation amid differences and experienced trauma. Questions at play: What is Side B? How should Side B engage trans and gender-dysphoria experiences theologically and pastorally? How can Side B respond to ongoing debates about celibate partnerships? Can Side B leadership develop breadth, depth, accountability, and maybe even create a common covenant? Is Side B a gift for Q/SSA people, or for the whole church?</p><p>00:00 Welcome to Kinship Lab</p><p>02:23 Future of Side B | Why Call It Project</p><p>04:25 Summit Setup and Hopes</p><p>05:18 Building Trust Through Tension</p><p>09:47 Defining Side B Today</p><p>14:11 Gender Questions Rising</p><p>17:16 Celibate Partnerships Debate</p><p>18:53 Learning From Experts</p><p>24:01 Global Voices Needed</p><p>26:38 Leader Accountability and Unity</p><p>29:51 Movement Longevity and Visibility</p><p>32:00 Towards a Side B Covenant</p><p>33:28 Gender and Queer Culture</p><p>35:24 Unity and Accountability</p><p>40:57 Why Statements Matter</p><p>42:56 Side B as Liberatory Gift</p><p>44:45 Theology Group Takeaways</p><p>51:44 Closing and Next Topics</p><p>55:14 Listener Feedback and Farewell</p> <br/><br/>Get full access to New Kinship at <a href="https://newkinship.substack.com/subscribe?utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=CTA_4">newkinship.substack.com/subscribe</a>
