Peter’s Vision and Becoming a Trans Ally

Leave a Comment / By Brandon M / 2026-08-15

I wrote a piece for Whosoever.org recently about my experience mentoring a trans woman before I was an ally. It was published on August 12, 2026. I wanted to share it here. From their Mission Statement: “Whosoever exists to help LGBTQ+ people experience and explore Christian faith free from fear, guilt and shame — and to proclaim the good news of a God whose love for us is unconditional, boundless and rooted in grace.“

What happens when you’ve spent decades being shaped by God – and you finally feel ready to pour into others – but you have no one to pour into, and you’re running out of time?In this episode, Brandon wrestles with a growing sense of uselessness: the institutional church isn’t making disciples the way it should, he can’t return to it in good conscience, and community outside its walls is nearly impossible to build. The rubber just isn’t meeting the road.But then something broke open.If Christian universalism is true – if resurrection means an embodied, eternal life on a restored earth – then death doesn’t end the call. It doesn’t end the purpose. It doesn’t even end the discipleship. The grave has no hold on what God is building in you.”O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?” This episode is about why that passage hits completely differently when you take eternity seriously.Topics covered:- Why the institutional church is failing at discipleship (and the numbers to prove it)- Organic church and the problem of community outside the institution- Christian universalism and the sweep of scripture toward universal reconciliation- Embodied resurrection and the renewed earth in Isaiah, Romans, and Revelation 21- Why your usefulness to the Kingdom does NOT end when you dieScripture referenced: Matthew 28:19, Romans 5:18, 2 Peter 3:9, Ephesians 1:3-2:10, 1 Corinthians 15:51-55, Isaiah 65:17-25, Romans 8:19-23, Revelation 21Crucible of Thought is Brandon’s podcast exploring theological deconstruction, progressive Christianity, and what faithful living looks like after you’ve left easy answers behind.Subscribe and leave a comment – they all get read!
