Queer & Christian: Brandan Robertson on Deconstruction and Reclaiming Faith
Feb 13, 2026 Season 8 Episode 154
David & Dai

Pastor and author Brandan Robertson joins us to talk about queer Christianity, deconstruction, and what it means to reclaim faith as an LGBTQ+ person. From growing up in conservative Christianity to reimagining theology through love and inclusion, Brandan shares how queer identity and Christian belief don’t have to exist in opposition.

Dai and David get into what it actually means to “queer” Christianity, the messy journey of deconstruction, sexual ethics, pleasure and shame, and what “God is love” might look like as public policy. We unpack the radical nature of the historical Jesus, the tension between church and authenticity, and why community becomes essential after religious harm.

If you’ve ever wrestled with belief, belonging, or rebuilding spirituality on your own terms, this conversation is honest, thoughtful, political, and surprisingly joyful. 

At its core, this episode asks whether faith can be reclaimed without surrendering yourself.
