YJ Book Club Presents: Butterfly Angels w/ Maggie Lourdes

YJ Book Club Presents: Butterfly Angels w/ Maggie Lourdes

Maggie Lourdes joins us to discuss her new book Butterfly Angels: Aug and Lucy’s Journey. It follows the journey of a scrappy angel named Augustine who takes on prejudice, discrimination, and LGBTQIA+ rights in a timeless story of good vs. evil. 

Maggie is an author, teacher, lawyer, and sits on the Pride Team board at the community college where she teaches. She believes things have to move forward to a better place - a truthful place -  where LGBTQ people are recognized as equal in the eyes of God.

Buy your own copy of Butterfly Angels: Aug and Lucy’s Journey on Amazon here. This book will be FREE for Yass, Jesus! Listeners for one day only on Monday, August 7th, 2023!

Our Queer Christian music today is ‘Selfish’ by Brad Kemp and Gabriel Mudd! Find them on IG: @gabrielmuddmusic and @bradkempmusic.

Yass, Jesus! is hosted by Danny Franzese and Azariah Southworth. Our producers are Ross Murray and Meredith Paulley. Sound, music, and post-production by Chris Heckman.

All Time Favorites: Daniel and the Lion's Den

All Time Favorites: Daniel and the Lion's Den

This Baked Bible Story is less about sleeping with the lions (we prefer bears) and more about corrupt politics written to disenfranchise and persecute. Sadly, the theme of laws targeting people for being their true selves is still happening. Join us while we bible wonder and admire coming out of the lion’s den intact and with dignity.

If you want to check out the best worst movie idea ever, we reference ROAR in today’s show.

To see the campaign referenced in our praise report from Susannah, check it out here.

 Yass, Jesus is a labor of love and we are so grateful to the community we’ve built through this pod.  While we don’t get paid for making the show, there are costs that go into ensuring great new episodes every week (like editing, recording studio membership, gear, and domain rights.)  Your subscription (for less than $5 per month!) or Buy Me a Coffee donation helps us bring new content to the Yass, Jesus! Community.  PRAISE for all the Yassuits!

Yass, Jesus! is hosted by Danny Franzese and Azariah Southworth. Our producers are Ross Murray and Meredith Paulley. Sound, music, and post-production by Chris Heckman.
