In this conversation, Cassidy and I talk about her evolving, contemplative spiritual expression and identity as a queer Christian. We also touch on her view of scripture and incorporating various theologies and poetry as she finds comfort in paradoxes. Thanks go to the Elevate Podcasting Summit recently hosted by BYU Radio, where we met and recorded this conversation.
Highlights:
· Cassidy Hall's Spiritual Journey and queer Christian spirituality.
· Exploration of Faith: Embracing spiritual paradox; seeking expansive belonging.
· Influence of mystics and desert elders
· Contemplative spirituality: Silence holds paradox, presence, absence.
· Engagement with Queerness in Christianity
· Cassidy's evolving faith practice
· Acceptance of uncertainty and communal prayer river.
