Practical Theology, Recognizing Institutional Stigmas, and Defining a Complete Faith
In this Religica Theolab Podcast Episode, Poet J Mase III and Dr. Michael Trice have a conversation about how theology can be applied towards modern social stigmas and how necessary works are to faith.
J Mase III emphasizes that trans and queer individuals do not need permission from oppressive institutions to connect with the divine; their existence is already inherently sacred.
