Unpacking Gender Expansive Faith with Author and Pastor Steff Fenton
This week on @theopentable we’re going back to our roots and diving deep into a vital conversation for faith and community. Host @craigmbrown is thrilled to welcome author, speaker, and founding pastor @steff_fenton (https://www.steffenton.co/) to the table.

Steff’s work is dedicated to flipping the man-made script on gender and sexuality to reveal God’s truth about LGBTIQA+ people—a message of celebration, not condemnation. If you or a loved one have ever questioned the compatibility of faith and gender identity, this episode is essential listening.

In this conversation, we explore how Steff’s personal journey as a transgender pastor has informed a groundbreaking theological perspective. We discuss the mission of Gender Expansive Faith: to equip Christians with the understanding and tools they need to truly welcome and celebrate their transgender loved ones, and to help queer and trans siblings discover the beauty they bring to the world and to their spiritual lives.

Listen in to discover a wider, more loving experience of faith that sees gender diversity as a gift, affirming that God celebrates and 100% affirms us, as we are.

️Don’t miss this crucial episode!
