Season 2 Episode 10: Where Did This Come From? 07/24/2020

Season 2 Episode 10: Where Did This Come From? On this Season 2 FINALE episode, I throw it back to the beginning by sitting in closet with a mic to talk to the air for 30 minutes about my own writing (lol). This time, though, I share some crucial pieces (others AND my own) that influenced and inspired this podcast. By taking you through some of my own writings, I attempt to convey both the foundations and the future of this queer, spiritual podcast. A never-before-heard-or-seen piece is included PLUS many big announcements :) /episode/index/show/ourdailybeard/id/15336707

Season 2 Episode 9: What are Spivak Pronouns? And More on the Queer Sci-fi World with Cam Coulter 07/17/2020

Season 2 Episode 9: What are Spivak Pronouns? And More on the Queer Sci-fi World with Cam Coulter Join me as I pick Cam Coulter's brain on how Sci-fi and Fantasy lend themselves to radical queer representation. Cam shares their experience in finding queer/trans community within the internet Sci-fi niche and walks me through the many different (and totally rad) pronouns that exist in alternate universes. Come to get your mind blown, stay for the book recs. /episode/index/show/ourdailybeard/id/15244691

Season 2 Episode 8: Community Highlight: What is an 'activist' church? 07/10/2020

Season 2 Episode 8: Community Highlight: What is an 'activist' church? This week I bring on another internet friend, McKenzie, to share her experience as a parishioner of St. Luke's Church in Long Beach. A self-identified queer, disabled person, she talks about her experience navigating affirming, supportive spaces amidst the vague advertising of "inclusive churches." We sit down to have a real chat about how St. Luke's strives to be a 'social justice church,' not just on paper, but IRL. /episode/index/show/ourdailybeard/id/15155762

Season 2 Episode 7: Conversion Therapy? "It's not me, it's you." 07/03/2020

Season 2 Episode 7: Conversion Therapy? "It's not me, it's you." We have super special guest Enoch Miller, most popularly known as The Empress of WeHo, on ODB to talk about his experience undergoing conversion therapy in the South. He invites us into a very raw conversation about what it was like growing up gay and a pastor's kid. /episode/index/show/ourdailybeard/id/15072560

Season 2 Episode 6: Queer Iconography? A New Sense of Spirituality w/ Mary 06/26/2020

Season 2 Episode 6: Queer Iconography? A New Sense of Spirituality w/ Mary What is the role of art and icons in reconciling religion with queerness? I invite my self-identified "walking strap-on" artistic friend Mary to let me into her journey growing up queer in the Eastern Orthodox Church. We talk through moments of accepting certain religious comforts while desiring to express queerness through alternative spiritualities. Mary walks us step by step through her artistic process as a means of thinking through creative theological spaces. /episode/index/show/ourdailybeard/id/14961482

Season 2 Episode 5: How Can We Use Empathic Confrontation Right Now? w/ Daniel Lovan 06/19/2020

Season 2 Episode 5: How Can We Use Empathic Confrontation Right Now? w/ Daniel Lovan This week I bring on soon-to-be counselor (and friend of...5 years?) Daniel Lovan to speak on his work with creating healing spaces between queer and religious communities. He walks us through the Jesuit "See. Judge. Act." model and explains why tools like emphatic confrontation and restorative circles can help seemingly polar communities meet in the middle. You can find him and his stellar work @daniellovan72. /episode/index/show/ourdailybeard/id/14882873

Season 2 Episode 4: Is This A Dealbreaker or Is This Just Sex? 06/12/2020

Season 2 Episode 4: Is This A Dealbreaker or Is This Just Sex? Ah yes, the question on everyone's minds! On this riveting episode I invite fellow ex-Catholic (it's a lot warmer than it sounds) and all around lovely human Nicole Claudio @niknokc5 to talk about the awkward period between moving from purity culture into sex-affirming flings and relationships. /episode/index/show/ourdailybeard/id/14778461

Season 2 Episode 3: What is "Queer"? w/ Areni Der Grigorian 06/05/2020

Season 2 Episode 3: What is "Queer"? w/ Areni Der Grigorian What better way to honor Pride month than by attempting to define the word "queer" am I right?! On this episode I invite my internet pal/fellow king/fellow queer theory enthusiast Areni Der Grigorian to discuss what "queering" means to the modern soul in society and law. You can catch her @arenii27 and @vaunmotel. Produced, hosted, and edited by Emily Win. Artwork by Lizzie and Emily Win. Theme song by Prod. Riddiman. /episode/index/show/ourdailybeard/id/14707415

Season 2 Episode 2: What is the Enneagram? Part 2 with Elizabeth Tzagournis 05/29/2020

Season 2 Episode 2: What is the Enneagram? Part 2 with Elizabeth Tzagournis On part two of our Enneagram extravaganza, Elizabeth and I dive into Enneagram "wings" and how each of the nine numbers show up in times of growth and stress. In classic ODB style, we ask "What makes the Enneagram both Christian and queer?" "How can we use this tool to queer religion?" "How can queerness adopt the Enneagram without the pressures of religion?" All of this and more! /episode/index/show/ourdailybeard/id/14599082

Season 2 Episode 1: What is the Enneagram? w/ Elizabeth Tzagournis 05/22/2020

Season 2 Episode 1: What is the Enneagram? w/ Elizabeth Tzagournis YEAH BABY WE BACK! And we are asking the quintessential millennial question: What is the Enneagram!? Listen to two queer Christians talk about why the enneagram is an excellent tool for navigating relationships, careers, and general life stuff. We go through the nine numbers and explain general behaviors, motivations, and fears. You can find Elizabeth writing and creating media @etzagournis. Produced, hosted, and edited by Emily Win. Artwork by Lizzie and Emily Win. Theme song by Prod. Riddiman. /episode/index/show/ourdailybeard/id/14521226
