Black and Blue

In this piece, Kerr Mesner shares a song of imagining for trans, non-binary, and gender expansive siblings having each others' backs, and God joining into the resistance. Kerr is a spiritual director, consultant, and facilitator, as well as a queer/transgender contemplative Christian, performing artist, and activist. In his spare time, he enjoys writing songs and playing in his garden.

Geez 65: Healing Sex takes on the taboo. Sex is so often at the heart of Christian shame and violence. What healing do our spirits and bodies need? How can we lean into pleasure and joy? What liberation can be found in subverting tradition – or reclaiming it?

Got Your Back by Kerr Mesner, Geez 65: Healing Sex

Meditation - WILD RHYTHMS

This episode is about sex, gender, and Jesus—and what happens when our bodies get wrapped in shame, pleasure, politics, and power. It comes in four parts:

🧕 Part One – Tina Beardsley
Revd Dr. Tina Beardsley is a priest, a theologian, and a trans woman who’s been quietly transforming the Church of England from the inside out. Co-author of Trans Affirming Churches and Transfaith, Tina sees transition as a spiritual act.

👑 Part Two – Panda Dulce
Kyle Casey Chu, aka Panda Dulce, is a drag queen, writer, and survivor of a Proud Boys ambush at Drag Story Hour. We talk about sacred drag, queer disappointment, and how to live when the fantasy of queer community doesn’t match reality.

✝️ Part Three – Rev. Bev
Rev. Dr. Beverly Dale—Rev. Bev to her friends—is a poet, preacher, and the founder of the Incarnation Institute for Sex & Faith. She challenges purity culture and insists that pleasure is holy. She also reads from her new book, Who Told You That You Were Naked?

💃 Part Four – Sound Slice
Let me set the scene for you: I’m at a Quaker gathering in Florida. After the silent worship, the serious talks, and the ice cream debates—we push the tables aside and start square dancing. Boys in skirts. Grandmothers in wheelchairs. Men dancing with men. The Spirit moves.

🎙️ Bubble and Squeak is written and produced by me, Peterson Toscano. I mostly make this show for myself. Oh—and for John Casey, who taught me how to journal again.

Thank you for listening. Until next time—stay curious. Be weird. And make room for yourself to shimmer, sparkle, and shine.

Antonio Cosme, a Coahuiltecan Boricua from Southwest Detroit, Michigan, is an economist, artist, educator, beekeeper with SWBeetroit, gardener with Southwest Grows, an outdoorsman, #Blacktotheland, and works at the National Wildlife Federation. In this episode, Cosme offers a land acknowledgement for Geez 55 by reflecting on the history of Detroit, Michigan.

Who do we welcome? How do we allow ourselves to be welcomed? Geez 55: Entertaining Angels explores hospitality, which Jacques Derrida named as “ethics par excellence.”
