Welcome to Jonah & the Peacock, a podcast about poison, healing, and the Bible. Have the Christian scriptures been weaponized against too many people to be truly redeemed? Join host Jonah Overton, a queer and trans pastor, as they and their guests break down the toxic theology and poisoned stories of the Bible that have been used to cause harm. Together, through storytelling from their own marginalized identities, they will transform the telling of these texts and reclaim them for a more inclusive, justice-oriented, & trauma-informed faith.
