Drag is Sacred: Queer Belonging, Beauty, and the Church
In this vibrant and vulnerable episode, Tym and Anny dive deep into the world of drag as sacred art and explore the intersections between drag, liturgy, creativity, and queer joy. From childhood dress-up bins to RuPaul’s Drag Race, from drag kings in college bars to the sparkling stages of Cincinnati, this conversation honors the power of drag as both performance and protest.
Anny and Tym share their earliest experiences of drag, the transformations it has inspired in their lives, and how drag has shaped their sense of self and spirituality. They reflect on how the church can learn from the drag community—in unconditional welcome, radical belonging, and the art of showing up with one’s full self.
The episode crescendos with a stunning prayer for drag performers, blessing the sequins, stilettos, and sacred resistance they embody.
