Fat & Faithful Amanda Martinez Beck

Amanda hosts guest Jessica Kantrowitz, fat author and leader of the Finding Your Voice Writing Workshop. They talk about what embodiment means to them, particularly in the context of their faith journeys. You can find Jessica's books and workshops at her website, jessicakantrowitz.com. 

Amanda talks with Valerie Bojarski about her 3rd pregnancy in a fat body. Content Warning: Discussion of changes in weight and body size, clothing sizes.

In today's episode I am joined by Dr. Aubrey Buster, an Old Testament scholar who teaches at Wheaton College and is currently writing a commentary on the book of Daniel. She has quite a few bombshells to drop on why the so-called Daniel Fast is a bunch of bunk!

I talk with Heidi Carrington Heath about her journey to embracing many identities--fat, queer, and femme--and how that is influenced by her faith. We also talk about who gets to be fat and how we hold people accountable for the sake of justice.
