Jude: Believe Out Loud is an international community for LGBTQIA people of faith, and people of all identities seeking pathways to inclusion and acceptance.

Rachel: We believe it’s possible for everyone to have a transformative experience of sacred scripture. We embody that belief in humanitarian response and grantmaking in support of LGBTQIA groups around the world.

Liana: We also produce affirming resources for use in houses of worship and at home. You can check out our online services here on YouTube!

Jude: Now we’re launching a digital Bible study program where we’ll read scripture through a lens of justice, equality, diversity and inclusion.

Jude : But we know the Bible can be a challenging book. Maybe that language has been used to hurt you, or other people you love.

Liana: Maybe you’re just looking for a different perspective on your faith.

Rachel: We invite you to join us. In this video series, we’ll talk about how to read the Bible on your own terms.

Jude: We’ll start with the most basic question: which Bible should I read?

Liana: In part two of this video, we’ll talk about the vast number of Bibles available to you, and what makes them different. So be sure like and subscribe!

Rachel: And share your thoughts with us. We’d love to hear about your journey into sacred text in the comments.
