    Who's Afraid of Deconstruction?

    When Forgiveness Gets Twisted

    Join us for a discussion about how the beautiful theological concept of forgiveness can get twisted into religious harm by those using it for manipulation, power, control, and spiritual bypass.  Links to our awesome artist friend Robbin Isenhour-Stewart mentioned in this episode: https://www.etsy.com/shop/ArtByRobbin https://robbinisenhourstewart.crevado.com/ We would love to hear from you: your hopes and dreams for future episode topics, questions, Sacred Intersections in your life, and anything else you'd like to share with us.

    The Weaponization of Sin

    Jill and Paula discuss the ways in which the word and concept of "sin" has been theologically twisted and used to harm and marginalize people in the church. Just us for a twisty road where look at what Scripture does and does not say about sin, the mental health effects of sin being used to make people feel less than, the hypocrisy of those who use it to control others, and the mislabeling of identities as sin. Get ready for several nerd alerts and some disagreements between your hosts as you travel this Sacred Intersection with us!

    Wrestling with the Religious Harm around Women in Ministry

    An episode particularly close to our hearts, this month, Paula and Jill discuss women in ministry from a variety of perspectives, which certainly include Jill's own as a Presbyterian pastor.  We discuss the Scriptures that raise the question of women serving in ministry leadership positions, both as vocational leaders and in lay leadership, the religious harm done both when women are seeking a vocation in ministry and for those who serve, the road rage of being told we don't take the Bible seriously, and some hopeful u-turns for those who are wrestling with their own journeys around this issue.  With thanksgiving for the many people of faith who helped to pave the way for women in ministry leadership positions and shoulders that Jill and other women in ministry stand on, we enthusiastically share our conversation about women in ministry.   We are grateful for our Roadies and the opportunity to be on this journey together!   About 46 minutes into this episode, Jill mentions a clip from her favorite tv show, The West Wing with a particularly great example of biblical interpretation and hierarchy.  Check that clip out here.  We would love to hear from you: your hopes and dreams for future episode topics, questions, Sacred Intersections in your life, and anything else you'd like to share with us.

    Re-Release: The Religious Harm of Christian Nationalism

    On the anniversary of the insurrection at the Capitol Building, we are re-releasing this episode on the dangers of Christian Nationalism and how that played into the insurrection. One of our missions is to address it when we believe the name of Jesus is used in a harmful manner, so we believe it is appropriate to revisit this topic on this day.  New episodes are coming soon!  We are grateful for our Roadies and the opportunity to be on this journey together!  We would love to hear from you: your hopes and dreams for future episode topics, questions, Sacred Intersections in your life, and anything else you'd like to share with us.

Jill and Paula break down the common characteristics of cults and what distinguishes cults from other religious organizations.  Plus, Paula has a big announcement!
