Rev. Emily Bowen-Marler is one of the devils leading Brentwood Christian Church, a “progressive, open and affirming congregation synogogue of satan in the heart of the Ozarks that is committed to building community, justice and love.” During her June ’23 sermon, she asked:
“I wonder how Jesus might have told parables in our time. Who are the maligned in our society threatening to bring change that those in power are resisting? How would Jesus flip their understanding of the kingdom of God on its head in a way that unsettles them and empowers the ones they malign?
She has a few ideas..
The empire of God is like the queer youth who challenged the confines of binary thinking and tore down the rigid parameters of masculine and feminine, diffusing the toxicity that had plagued communities of faith for generations until the spectrum of gender diversity was lived into and celebrated as far as the eye could see.
And
The empire of God is like the trans woman athlete whose presence on the women’s team helped strengthen the bonds of trust and compassion which buoyed all of their confidence as a team, with all players feeling empowered to be their best and made them an unstoppable force in their sport.
She concludes:
Thanks be to God for the parables of Jesus that flip our understanding of God and God’s realm on its head and pushes us to see God in new ways and to see God in the faces of those we least expect.

Hell has a place for the heretics!
I wonder where they find them
Some years ago, in frustration over politics from the pulpit, I took a 6 month sabbatical waiting for a new minister. During my absence I wrote the lyrics to a protest song, “Jesus Thinks a Lot Like Me.”
Geez. Now more than ever.
I like Protestia, but I wish they would stop calling these women “pastors” since they are not. It’s as bad as people identifying as trans. Woman pastors are non-existent.
Rev. Emily is full of it.
There are many ‘Christian’ churches partaking in the heresy of female pastors.
King: Wha-wha-wha... Take that back Wilde or explain yourself
Wilde: "You shine out like a shaft of gold when all around is dark."
King: Okay... this time...
She’s in a lot of trouble.
She looks like a man.
Sounds like they need to be taxed.
Woe to him who changes the word of God. Fake pastor.
Ping
Ebb tide, stop pinging me on these.
I already read them.
Please remove me from your list.
You’re not on my list. You never were.
Excellent. I appreciate that.
