I’m Jon Carl Lewis (he/him)
Let’s explore how integrating the sexual/erotic and the spiritual connects us more deeply with our authentic selves, the sacred, the people we love and all of creation.

Interviews & Appearances
Jon Carl Lewis Interviews Playlist
I created a Spotify playlist of podcast episodes where I have been interviewed (mostly) about the intersection of sexuality, spirituality, the Christian tradition, and—more recently—the erotic.
I found almost 17 hours (16 hours 48 minutes) of me having great conversations with delightful hosts.
I didn't spend a whole lot of time crafting the list—I threw almost all of the conversations I could find in there—so I haven’t completed the process of vetting what I said. I'm pretty comfortable with the first six or so episodes in the list, but I’ve said quite a lot of things as I’ve grown over the past few years!
Later, however, I want to post each of them with commentary as I see how I’ve grown and deepened my understanding through fruitful interactions with others—and time.
ENJOY!!!

Co-Crafting Liberative Theologies of Sex(uality)
Q Christian Conference 2026
I’m presenting the following session at the Q Christian Fellowship Conference, Portland, OR, January 23, 2026.
Traditionalist quests for the authoritative theology of sex(uality) suppress the multiplicity of faithful witnesses offering valuable insights about living into a liberative, justice-oriented—and fruitful—Gospel in every aspect of life (including sexual practices and “right” relation).
We will invite diverse theological understandings into conversation with the varied, nuanced—and completely valid—insights we have received from the Holy Spirit working among us and in our individual lives.
Our practice will not provide one, single answer.
Rather we will model communal listening for practical, grounded wisdom we can employ in our own lives and among those we love and serve.
