    Elizabeth Tabish: Playing Mary Mags on The Chosen

    What would you say to one of the disciples if you saw them face to face? I had to answer that question when I sat down with Elizabeth Tabish who plays Mary Magdalene on The Chosen. (And yes, before we go any further, Mary Mags was most certainly a disciple of Jesus.) Whether or not you’ve watched any episodes of The Chosen - and I highly recommend that you do - this conversation is a tender and exclusive peek behind the curtain of what it’s like to be a real human person who’s playing a major role in the depiction of the life of Jesus. There are no spoilers (but DM @kristinmockleryoung if you want to talk about anything in the first 4 seasons!) Liz Tabish is honest about the reaction of fans, how she faces criticism, her favorite people to be on set with and what she really thinks about the church. If you already love this worldwide sensation (and many of you do since it’s the largest crowd-funded show of all time), you’ll love it even more after this conversation. And if you haven’t watched Season 1, Episode 1 yet…we just may convince you to give it a chance. ———— Watch The Chosen on their free app and follow The Chosen on social media. You won’t regret it! You can also catch the Chosen Docuseries: Jonathan And Jesus for more with Jonathan Roumie on what it’s like to be thrust into the limelight with newfound popularity while trying to see out who Jesus really was and discover his impact on the world today. ————— HANG OUT WITH US: BecomingChurch.tv Elizabeth on IG: @elizabethtabish Kristin on IG: @kristinmockleryoung Mosaic on IG: @MosaicCLT #becomingchurchpodcast #becomingchurch

    Sheila Gregoire: Redefining Good Sex

    Sex is complicated, even for Christians. Often in the church, single people are promised “blessed” marriages for the future if they hold fast to purity, don’t put themselves in situations of temptation and pray faithfully enough to find the spouse God has out there for them. But when prioritizing date nights, speaking each other’s love languages and meeting physical needs still leaves them with a lack of intimacy or an unfulfilling sex life, it’s more than complicated. It feels like something’s broken. Sheila Wray Gregoire, author of multiple research-based books on sex in Christian marriages, wants you to know that you are not alone. There are a variety of reasons Christians struggle with sex, even within a committed marriage, and it’s all more common than shame wants you to believe. This episode speaks to purity culture, the Billy Graham rule, why evangelical women struggle with sex more than other people groups and expectations for husbands and wives so you can learn a healthier way forward in your current or future marriage. *In case it needs to be said, this episode talks about sexual intercourse. If you don’t want the people around you hearing about orgasms and named body parts, you may want to grab headphones for this episode. ———— Grab Sheila’s books on our Becoming Church resource list on Amazon!

    Jemar Tisby: The Spirit of Justice

    “White Christians behaving badly about race” is how Jemar Tisby jokingly refers to the motivation behind his books on segregation and social justice within the church. His research has shown that it’s a journey to move from being removed bystanders who are complicit in prejudiced systems to actively advancing anti-racism change. Wherever you are in the process, Jemar offers grace for people who have only been offered one version of history or faith while also encouraging you to pursue Jesus in a new way. This episode answers questions about appropriation, the unintended downsides of desegregation, why Sunday morning is the most segregated hour of the week and what the Bible says about race. While the struggle for racial justice can be discouraging, learning history can give us hope and the stories from Jamar’s latest book “The Spirit of Justice” will inspire you to keep up the fight. ———— Grab Jemar’s books on our Becoming Church resource list on Amazon!
