Little Jason
JOY’s very own Little Jase, co-host of The I in Us, is far from ‘little’ when it comes to study. They hold a Doctorate in Theology, focusing on Hermeneutics and Exegesis. This area of study explores the interpretation and critical explanation of scripture.
In this episode of The I in Us, Paul and Jase explore the inclusion of intersex people within Biblical scripture. Special guests, David and Megan, discuss the work they have undertaken to engage with the Intersex Community. Both bring attention to, and address, oppressive commentaries that negatively impact the intersex community in religious and broader social settings.
