Welcome to Have a Blessed Gay, your weekly spiritual-comedy podcast! Join holy host, Tyler Martin, as he critically discusses social norms, current events, mental health, religion, and spirituality from an outcast's perspective. In this week’s episode, Tyler chats with Crystal Cheatham all about deconstruction, reconstruction, and listening to our inner intuition!

Crystal is an LGBTQ+ rights activist with a focus on religious liberty. Since 2011 Crystal has worked simultaneously as a ghostwriter and queer rights activist with groups such as Soulforce and the Attic Youth Center. As an outspoken activist she has written for The Huffington Post on the intersections of faith and sexual identity, a faith and spirituality column for the Philadelphia Gay Newspaper, and sat on the steering committee of the Human Rights Campaign as the Faith & Spirituality chair. As an entrepreneur Crystal is the founder of two projects: Our Bible App and The IDentity Kit, both of which have provided resources for marginalized communities of faith. Her newest project stems from Our Bible App -- the app is branching into the realm of trade publishing with a new imprint, and their first book will be an anthology of 60+ devotions all centered around deconstruction called, The Deconstructionists Playbook. They have a Kickstarter happening right now through the end of the month, please go support them and help kick off this amazing imprint...and if that’s not a good enough reason to, your boy, me, is a contributing author. I will have a devotional in the book, and I cannot wait for you to read it.

*This episode also features a reading from the latest B Word article, Fictional Religions and Belief Systems in Audio Drama by the author themselves Tau Zaman.
