I often say that I find myself in the tween of things. I feel like that's where I'm called to be. I wonder if that's not something that's unique. Maybe we all...I kind of feel like god is in the tween.
What does it mean to find spirituality without fitting into a traditional religious mold? Bonnie Violet, a trans genderqueer spiritual drag artist and host of 'A Queer Chaplain', tackles this question head-on in this episode. As a rape survivor living with HIV and someone in recovery from drugs and alcohol, Bonnie's life is a testament to resilience and the search for meaning.
In this episode, she reflects on the notion that spirituality exists in the 'in-between' spaces of our lives, those moments that don't neatly fit into any category. Bonnie dives into her own experiences, discussing the struggle with labels and the journey to forge a personal understanding of spirituality. She touches on how people's interpretations of religion can shape their interactions with others, often in harmful ways.
One of her key insights is the idea that God—or whatever higher power you believe in—exists in the spaces between us. 'I kind of feel like God is in the tween. God is in between all those things. It's the air, it's the space, it's the spirit, it's that which is between you and me in so many forms', she shares. This episode is a thoughtful exploration of how community and support play crucial roles in spiritual growth.
Bonnie's reflections offer a fresh perspective on spirituality done queerly, making it a must-listen for anyone grappling with similar questions or seeking a sense of belonging outside traditional religious frameworks.
