-
- Christianity
In this episode, host Kelly Wolfe is joined by Kat Armas, author of the new book Sacred Belonging: a 40-Day Devotional on the Liberating Heart of Scripture, to discuss:
What it means to “repattern, reweave, and reimagine” Scripture and how doing so gives us fresh insights and leads us toward liberation
Why creation, Holy Spirit, wisdom, the body, and the feminine are five areas which are so ripe for (& in need of) decolonization
How translation and language can impact our understanding and interpretation of Scripture (with a fascinating conversation about John 1:1 in Spanish, English, Greek, and in extra-biblical uses by the Greeks.)
and much more!
Guest Bio: Kat Armas (she/her) is a Cuban-American writer and speaker, and host of The Protagonistas podcast, where she highlights stories of everyday women of color, including writers, pastors, church leaders, and theologians.
