My Ex and My Future Wife
Theo, Maggie, and Bridget are three lesbians with some questions about G-d. Coming from Protestant and Jewish backgrounds, with some Catholicism and Tibetan Buddhism thrown in, they’ve been taught varying lessons about what religion looks like. On My Ex and My Future Wife, they weekly explore gender, sexuality, politics, and much more, through a theological lens. And for the record, they’re lying about who’s the ex and who’s the future wife.
