Yass, Jesus! explores what it means to be a Christ-loving member of the LGBTQIA+ community in these divided times. Actor Daniel Franzese (Mean Girls, Looking) and former televangelist Azariah Southworth host this funny, inclusive, sex-positive show designed to playfully mimic a traditional Christian Sunday church service.
All Time Favorites: Queer Space is Sacred Space (S1 Ep. 38)
We’ve worked to make Yass, Jesus! a virtual, queer sacred space. What are some other sacred spaces that have a sense of God? For many of us in the LGBTQIA+ community, a sense of God can be found in queer safe spaces, and we can create sacred spaces anywhere we go through an example of love and acceptance. Yass, Jesus!
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.

Thanksgivathon!
Here at Yass, Jesus! we are thankful for YOU, our listeners. (Yes, we’re still thankful for blow jobs, too – a la 2020.) This year we wanted to take a moment to hear directly from the Yassuits about the blessings you find in daily life, and to feel thankful for the strong community we’re building.
P.S. If you don’t know what a “Yassuit” is, you haven’t been watching our Instagram Live enough! Hint: Yass Jesuits is what Azariah used to call our listeners, but on his last Q&A with you all it was pretty clear that “Yassuits” just rolls of the tongue better. YOU SPEAK, WE LISTEN.

Adam and Eve may have been the first nuclear family, and just like most families there are a whole bunch of black sheep hiding behind that white picket fence.

Poppin' Off About Poppers
Guest Leo Herrera “pops off” about Popper-shaming and tackles the recent FDA statements against the use of Poppers – which have long been a part of queer… “recreation”.
Leo Herrera is a Mexican activist/filmmaker and writer known for queer viral art films and short documentaries that tackle issues of queer politics, sex, HIV stigma and history. Leo’s viral “essay memes” explore queerness, race, Covid and HIV stigma, and can be found on Instagram. More about Leo on his website and twitter.

Confession and Forgiveness
While we don’t always confess our wrongdoing to the people who are hurt by it, just acknowledging our behavior can be a powerful step. Forgiveness doesn’t mean letting people hurt us all over again. Together, confession and forgiveness can offer a balance that brings us closer to ourselves and closer to God.

Oh, Happy Day! When Jesus Walshed My Sins Away
This whole episode is some Gay Christian News! It all started when Danny landed himself in hot water with a Catholic University and has grown into a movement for better LGBTQIA+ representation on campus. Today we take time to talk with students, alumni, and a former professor from Walsh University to discuss the change on campus resulting from this learning opportunity. (See what we did there?!)

Won't Anyone Think of the Children?!?
What impact would it have had for you to find a pastor or youth minister who was open, accepting, and helped you grow up as an out and proud LGBTQIA+ youth? Would your life path have been different if you could have been open in church about your sexual orientation? So many don’t have this safe space.

King James Was a Homo
We’ve spent previous episodes talking about the importance of translations in the Bible, and today we look at how translations play a role in the story of King James, who we think was pretty queer, who kept his own lovers, but also prosecuted LGBTQ+ people and sponsored a version of the bible that has been used against the LGBTQ+ community for a long, long time. What a wild guy!

What Does God Think About Greed?
We all know Greed is one of the Seven Deadly Sins; there are more warnings about greed in the Bible than there are mentions of LGBTQIA+ people. While the livelihood of so many depends on commerce, we break down the commercial holidays that follow Thanksgiving and talk about how to spend in alignment with our Christian and queer values.

1946: The Mistranslation that Shifted a Culture
What if the word “homosexual” was never meant to be in the bible? This is the question being asked by our guest Sharon “Rocky” Roggio, Producer and Director of 1946: The Mistranslation that Shifted a Culture. If the word “Homosexual” wasn’t even invented until 1868, how could it have been written into the bible without the influence of modern society? Hear about when and how homosexuality as a sin was introduced, and how 1946 seeks to change the narrative built in that pivotal moment.

Grace
For a long time, the Church has used the threat of heaven and hell to control people’s behavior. But God, in infinite love for us, has poured out grace upon us. Grace lets us throw off the shackles that tell us being queer keeps us from God’s love. We can be as queer and as loving as we can be!
