sick and hAlarious: Encountering God in it All
We are two old friends who happen to be pastors! Each episode revolves around one question we explore through stories from our past, current ministerial context, and a passage from the Bible. We offer pastoral care to those whom, like us, are still working through these questions. Together we look for God in the unexpected, mundane places, in the moments of joy and tension that make us laugh, cry, and cry while laughing. Join us as we encounter God in the sick and hAlarious!

Explicit content warning: this episode contains language not suitable for children.
Layne and Abigail recall moments they’ve received unwanted sexual comments as they’ve gone about their normal daily routines, acknowledging this is a universal experience for all women. Looking to Hosea 1, they find a woman who is labeled by the text in a sexually explicit manner and ask in what ways harmful language directed at women in the Bible have contributed to perpetuating patriarchal and misogynistic readings of scripture. With a feminist hermeneutic, they subvert the text and explore the feminine aspects of God. Join them and encounter God in the sick and hAlarious!
Scripture reading: Hosea 1:2-11
