In this episode, I talked with Jordan Lukens. Jordan and I met almost 10 years ago because he was the worship leader at the church where I was a member. We discussed various doctrines we once believed that were taught to us within evangelicalism, what we are theologically exploring now, and how it feels to lose your community when you're considered apostate. The music from this episode is "Humming Fools" by Micah Bournes. If you like what you hear in this episode, share it with a friend.

Important Dates in the Month of April

 April is Celebrate Diversity Month.

April 2nd is World Autism Day. April is Autism Acceptance Month.

April 22nd is Earth Day.

I actually had never heard about April being Celebrate Diversity Month until the other day, so I read a little about it. This month of celebration made me think of the episode “Diversity Is Not Inclusion, and Other Thoughts” from the History Shows Us podcast, previously known as Sincerely, Lettie. If you haven’t listened, I highly recommend it.

On the Autism Society of America website, I read, “This April, the Autism Society of America celebrates differences as it works to build an inclusive society where individuals with autism live fully through connection and acceptance. Together, with other national autism organizations, we are leading the legislative effort for lawmakers to federally and globally designate April as Autism Acceptance Month, a shift from the commonly used phrase ‘Autism Awareness Month.’”  According to the “Autism Acceptance Month | 2021 Toolkit” provided by the UNMC Munroe-Meyer Institute, “Autism Acceptance Month (April) and World Autism Day (April 2) are a chance to raise awareness for the acceptance and inclusion of individuals on the autism spectrum.” It was on page 3 of this pdf that I read, “HASHTAG ACCESSIBILITY TIP: DidYouKnow that capitalizing the first letter of each word in a hashtag makes it more accessible?”

I keep thinking about Kaitlin Curtice’s tweet from April 16th: “As we approach #EarthDay2021 I hope we will consider how our relationship to the earth matters for our collective healing. Care for the earth results in care for each other. Violence toward the earth results in violence toward each other.”
