"Transgressive Heroes": An Episode with Beyond the Block (Alma 17-22)

This week, Brother Jones and Brother Knox of Beyond the Block invited us to be guests on their Come Follow Me podcast as we talked about Alma 17-22. In a discussion of queer love, allyship, leveraging privilege, and the powerfully transgressive friendship of Abish and Queen Lamoni--this episode does not disappoint! If you don't already know, Beyond the Block is a podcast dedicated to centering the marginalized in Mormonism. The hosts describe themselves as staunch advocates for the theology and harsh critics of the culture when it comes to Mormonism. A black life-long member and queer convert respectively, they bring a less heard perspective to the notoriously white and heteronormative faith. You can find them online at beyondtheblockpodcast.com or on social media @btblds. It was such a pleasure to work with them and we hope you enjoy the episode!
