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.

JJ Warren, aka the Prophet in Pink, joins Jonah for a conversation about what it's like to pursue a career in ministry as an LGBTQ identified person in a queerphobic church structure. As an advocate for queer-inclusion in the United Methodist Church, JJ captured the attention of a whole denomination when he spoke as a youth delegate for just 3 minutes at a 2019 global Methodist gathering. Now he's in seminary, fighting to be ordained against the odds, and speaking around the country about his book Reclaiming Church: A Call to Action for Religious Rejects - all while looking dapper in his trademark pink blazer.
