Joanna Whaley Podcast
Tune into the Joanna Whaley Podcast, a captivating and deeply personal exploration documenting the profound, real-time evolution of its host, Joanna Whaley. For years, Joanna served as a dedicated Evangelical Pastor and later came out as a transgender woman. This podcast chronicles the challenging and ultimately liberating process of her deconstruction of faith, leading her to step away from the pulpit and embrace a new, powerful calling: becoming a passionate and vocal LGBTQ Rights advocate.
This series offers listeners a candid, week-by-week look at what it truly means to navigate a complete philosophical and professional upheaval. Joanna invites you to listen in as she tackles difficult conversations, grapples with the loss of her former identity, confronts the biases she once held, and finds her new voice on the front lines of social justice. Experience the full scope of this transformative journey, the doubts, the revelations, the heartache, and the ultimate triumph of aligning her life with a message of unconditional love and equity for all. This is more than a podcast; it’s a living diary of radical change and courageous advocacy.

MOTHER GOD - What if Jesus was Female?

This week on the show we begin with a conversation of a mother of a non-binary child. Beverly St. Amour is Joanna's chosen sister and has been parenting a non-binary child after being raised in fundamental evangelical Christianity. Today on the show we explore what it looks like to retell the Christian narrative of Jesus from a feminine viewpoint. We will discuss what Faith would look like if we would allow ourselves to see Jesus as female.
