Jesus and the Man Born Blind (John 9) - TMC Bible Study Live

This week Austen, Peter, and special guest Katelyn talk about the story of Jesus and the man born blind in John 9! What do we make of this story and the connections between sin and difference? Why is it important to listen to disabled theologians when we read stories like this? And how does it connect to our experience as trans folks?

Thanks as always for letting me listen. I am pretty sure this space isn't created for me (I am not really LGBTQ). But I always get something from these conversations and being able to listen in helps fight the phobias and stereotypes I have been taught. Thanks again.
