a queer chaplain podcast is where healing meets sparkle, spirituality meets skepticism, and the sacred is reclaimed, one story at a time.
This podcast is a soft landing for the tender, the curious, the ex-religious, the spiritual-ish, the seekers, the creators, the joyful, the recovering, and the beautifully complicated. Each episode weaves together interviews, reflections, and spiritual drag — pulling threads from across Bonnie Violet’s work as a community organizer, podcaster, and chaplain.
Whether we’re talking about gender blessings, queer grief, trans joy, drag as ministry, or the awkward holiness of just being human — this is a space for honest conversation, healing possibilities, and connection that doesn’t require belief — just curiosity.
