Lavender Mafia is a conversational queer spirituality podcast hosted by Jess Grace Garcia and Jack Bates. Jess is a filmmaker, music producer, and worship pastor. Jack is a drag queen, theologian, and comedian. We have conversations exploring what it means to be fully queer and Christian. We get into theology, sexuality, politics, culture etc. So we talk about some deep topics...and, the deeper the better. :) We hope you’ll join us in figuring out what integrating queerness and religion—or no religion—looks like for you. Be fierce. Keep the faith. And DON’T fuck it up! Art by @jeffmercadoart

This week’s Jess & Jack respond to a listener question that’s more of a co-host question: Jack asks Jess what good Christian music is to a queer Christian like themself who has left behind the evangelical contexts that introduced (or subjected) them to Christian worship, along with the music itself. Jess talks about their own worship music, recommends some favorite artists, and explains that, especially for those of us who left evangelicalism, worship music can help heal the wounds we got there. If you’re in the LA area and are interested in queer Christian worship music (or wonder why anyone would be), we hope you’ll join Jess at the Q Worship Collective Weekend on August 26-28!
