Holy Highball

Equal Pay in the Church

Tue, 21 Jun 2022 16:13:12 +0000

“A priest, a rabbi, and a pastor” talk about being sexualized, physically threatened, and the divine image of God as women in faith leadership. Mother Liz Costello, Rabbi Evette Lutman, and Reverend Jenny Morgan discuss the roles of women found throughout scripture and the Torah. These women have certainly busted through the stained-glass ceiling made by man, but not by God.

If You're Gay, Did God Make a Mistake?

Tue, 21 Jun 2022 15:54:41 +0000

All are invited into this conversation: queer, straight, black, white, polka dot, striped, or otherwise. Holy Highball films in a bar sipping cocktails with three faith leaders and gets answers to the questions you were never allowed to ask in church. With so many varied faith perspectives and interpretations coming from one source, the Bible, what does “the church” really practice and believe about the LGBTQIA+ community?

Meet Pastor Michael Hidalgo (Lead Pastor of Denver Community Church), Meg Baatz (CoFounder of Kaleidoscope), and the V. Rev. Father Seraphim Gisetti (Pastor of St. John Chrysostom Church). They take the LGBTQIA+ discussion from theological to personal which amplifies the discussion and may leave you with more questions than answers.

Look for the LGBTQIA+ series episodes dropping all throughout the month of June for Pride Month.

Should All LGBTQIA+ People Be Celibate?

Tue, 21 Jun 2022 15:38:58 +0000

If you’re looking for straight answers, this discussion may leave you with more questions than answers. Meet a Pastor who studied the scriptures on homosexuality with his congregation and then changed to be a “welcoming church;” an Orthodox priest who doesn’t marry same sex couples but was one of the the few priests who buried the dead at the height of the AIDS epidemic in San Francisco; and a Christian, gay, and celibate young woman who has cofounded a faith nonprofit that offers safe spaces for LGBTQIA+ people to cultivate their faith openly.

To add more complexity to the discussion, according to the Marin Foundation: Us Versus Us: The Untold Story of Religion & the LGBT Community, 86% of LGBTQ+ people were raised in the church, and LGBTQ+ people are open to returning to church at an 8x higher rate than the average American.

On the Street

Thu, 10 Mar 2022 18:52:27 +0000

Holy Highball is taking our priest, rabbi, and pastor out on the street to let the public ask their questions(unfortunately, we couldn’t take the bar with us). We have a newfound respect for our faith leaders who do this every day and for the unsuspecting people who bravely asked (and keep asking) their questions … #RESPECT.

How Do You Make Sense of Death?

Thu, 10 Mar 2022 18:46:00 +0000

“A priest, an atheist, and an agnostic walk into a bar” and the conversation about life and death gets pretty interesting! Father Stace keeps his cool while Martin (atheist) challenges all sorts of things, and Ashley (agnostic) ponders the idea of “maybe aliens” and other things that are a little f*cked up and mysterious.

Sex

Thu, 10 Mar 2022 18:24:08 +0000

Who better to speak about dating, sexual compatibility, bedroom conversations, and the church’s sexual ethic? Meet a priest who’s discerned celibacy, a divorced pastor who’s swiped left (and right), and a Dr. Rev. who’s been married for 25 years with seven kids. You don’t want to miss this candid and comical conversation about sex when our “priest, pastor, and reverend walk into a bar.”
