Queer Faith Leaders: Cameron and Jonah Overton's Inspiring Journey

I think being able to be online has given us just this incredible space to connect people, and so, if folks want to drop in, you always can we stream live from our Facebook every Sunday morning at central time, soon to be on YouTube as well, cause I'm learning more things.
What does it mean to create a church that’s not just inclusive, but boldly queer? In this episode of 'A Queer Chaplain', Bonnie Violet sits down with Cameron and Jonah Overton, two dynamic leaders who are reshaping faith communities. Jonah, a community organizer and lead pastor of Zao MKE Church, and Cameron, a social worker and worship pastor, share their experiences as young, black, queer, and trans individuals called to ministry. Their mission?
To build a church that is a haven for all, rooted in justice and radical inclusivity. They believe in the power of an open table and the importance of communion that welcomes everyone. This isn’t just a chat for those within the LGBTQIA+ community; it’s for anyone interested in fostering a more inclusive and just world. Jonah and Cameron dive into their personal journeys of unlearning toxic beliefs and finding spirituality in queer-led spaces.
They also discuss the significance of trans representation in media and the role of online connections in building supportive communities. With humor, honesty, and a touch of divine inspiration, this episode is a must-listen for anyone curious about the intersection of faith, identity, and social justice.
