Clobber Verses: Reclaiming Scripture from Misuse
Clobber Verses: Reclaiming Scripture from Misuse
February 12, 2026 @ 7:30 pm – 8:30 pm
Join Rev. Emmy Kegler (author, speaker, podcaster, theologian, and pastor) for a two-part Bible study that takes a look at the verses most commonly pulled out of their biblical context to condemn homosexuality and the LGBTQIA2S+ community. How have they been used by Christians to “clobber” marginalized people? How can a robust study of these verses help us interrupt the harmful ways they are misused in the name of Jesus?
Hosted by the Reconciling in Christ (RIC) Core Team, these sessions will invite our historical, literary and cultural curiosity for these verses and their more modern translations. Together, we’ll notice how tempting it can be to choose certainty over connection to the sacred story and one another. This awareness and movement can make a way for more healing and hospitality than we thought possible.
