Cafeteria Christian

Nora and Natalia met on the internet and quickly formed a mutual admiration society which grew into a friendship and many conversations about life and loss and faith and God. They knew there was a place in the current cultural and political climate for a kind of Christianity that was not “THAT kind of Christian”. So Cafeteria Christian was born. They are reclaiming this pejorative for good and reminding people that even when it comes to Christianity and faith, you can take what you like and leave the rest.

    #299 What are YOU Doing for Christmas?

    Emmy and Natalia talk about Christmas and why it’s so often filled with stress and shoulds instead of peace and joy.  After this episode we’ll be taking a break until January 13th, but in between now and then join us for two Instagram Lives (on top of the usual Sunday morning ones).  December 21st, 8:30pm (central standard time) - to celebrate the solstice/longest night.  January 6th, 11am (central standard time) - to draw star words for anyone who wants one (which you can participate in by filling out THIS FORM)    Other links/notes from the episode:  www.patreon.com/cafeteriachristian  Emmy’s Church Map: https://insideoutfaith.org/twincitieschristmas/  Mary on the Mantle: https://beaheart.com/collections/maryonthemantel Chasing Empty Mangers song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9t0nqEa54m0

    #297 Apocalyptic on Purpose

    Emmy and Natalia talk about Advent, and why it’s not a “warm glow” season but actually a truth-telling season and kind of the perfect way to spend a few weeks right now - when everything feels like it’s on fire and no one is ok.    www.patreon.com/cafeteriachristian
