Holy Misfits, Big Fish, and Bibles That Don’t Bite

At Wild Goose, we don’t fear scripture—we step into it, queer it, and make it breathe again.

You don’t sit through these. You rise up inside them—speaking, moving, laughing, and reclaiming every word that tried to leave you out.

A Petulant Prophet and a Good Gracious God

Led by Drs. Melissa Jackson and Barry Biddle, this full-body retelling of Jonah invites you into the drama—literally. You’ll embody characters, wrestle with boundaries, and explore the unrelenting grace of a God who refuses to cancel anyone (even the cows). Come ready to play, laugh, and uncover sacred truths hidden in satire.

Reclaiming the Clobber Passages

Rev. Kali Cawthon-Freels invites you to step into sacred texts that have been used to harm—and flip the script. This interactive Experience offers tools, context, and soul-deep questions for reclaiming what was weaponized against LGBTQ+ folks. You don’t have to forget those verses—but you can change how you engage them.

The Bible is Not a Rule Book

With Lindsey Kelley, you’ll co-create a liberative way of reading scripture rooted in story, not shame. Through active engagement and group exploration, you’ll break free from rigid literalism and help shape new ways of encountering the sacred—with your body, voice, and full imagination involved.

These are not Bible studies.

They’re scriptural shake-ups. Spiritual jailbreaks. Comic re-tellings.

And you’re part of it.
