Ever wonder what happens when a trans Jewish theological activist and a cisgender Baptist hunger activist walk into a Bible Bashing podcast and talk about Biblical stories? Listen in each month as host, Liam Michael Hooper - a justice-seeking gender theorist, trans educator-advocate, and author - meets with (new) co-host, Don Durham - a hermit-ish farmer, podcaster, and transitional coach - share their thoughts about Biblical stories. After discussing a given text, Liam or Don will share a non-Biblical text for us to hold in reflection. Don Durham laughingly describes himself as a peace and justice loving, hermit-like mendicant farmer and cantankerous curmudgeon. As a person working with the land to address hunger, he runs a small farm where he grows food to give away and hosts a podcast about what other people are creatively doing to end hunger. Don is a trained organizational change and transition consultant and strategic coach helping clients be who they want to be and accomplish what they want to accomplish. Don lives in North Carolina. Liam Hooper is a justice-seeking gender theorist, theological activist, trans educator-advocate and consultant living in North Carolina. He is the author of Trans-Forming Proclamation: A Transgender Theology of Daring Existence and a contributor to three trans anthologies. Liam is also the director of Ministries Beyond Welcome, an interfaith collaborative-collective of trans clergy and lay leaders rabble-rousing for change locally, regionally, and nationally.

There is no easy way to share this news, but Don Durham, co-host of Bible Bash unexpectedly and suddenly died of natural causes at home last month. Bible Bash producer Peterson Toscano put together this episode with outtakes from recording sessions. He also includes recordings Don sharing "Another Text" from several episodes since he first started co-hosting with LIam Hooper.
Liam is taking time off to regroup after losing a best friend. He and Peterson will consider the next steps for the podcast. In the meantime, as you join us in mourning the loss of Don, we hope hearing his voice will be a way remember him and his deep warm love, his big heart, and his wide open mind.
If you would like to share a remembrance or a word of comfort, feel free to email Liam and Peterson at ministriesbeyondwelcome@gmail.com
