We officially begin a conversation on the Hebrew Bible and the creation narrative it begins with. Family proclamation returns, as well the contrast of the biblical creation narrative and the dominant one at the time it was written. Some of today's material is sourced from the Hebrew Bible lectures of Christine Hayes at Yale.

The Introduction of Sin [Gen 3-4; Moses 4-5]

Brother Jones and Brother Knox describe themselves as staunch advocates for the theology and harsh critics of the culture when it comes to Mormonism. A black life-long member and queer convert respectively, they bring a less heard perspective to the notoriously white and heteronormative faith. They feel their desire for justice, love, and salvation for all people, regardless of color, sex, orientation, and other identities is not only consistent with the message of Christ, but *is* the message of Christ. In that spirit, they share their thoughtful, honest, and occasionally raw and humorous take on Mormonism in an effort to shift the culture of Mormonism more into alignment with the theology of Mormonism.
