An (Un)Racialized Body of Christ with Rev. Starlette Thomas
Reverend Starlette Thomas joins us to help us see our skin color for what it is and deconstruct what it is not as she pastorally and prophetically disrupts and dismantles the racialized body of Christ so that we can reconstruct and re-member a Church body that reflects Christ and his gospel.
Learn more about Starlette's work at The Raceless Gospel and Good Faith Media.

Body Scan Meditation
[Original airdate: Feb 8, 2021] On this episode of Sanctuary Woman, I want to invite you to reconnect your mind, with your body, through awareness of your body, listening to what your body is communicating to you. What God is communicating to you, through your body. This episode will lead you through a prayer body scan meditation and close with a reading of Psalm 139.

Divine & Disabled Bodies with Dr. Amy Kenny
Our guest today is Dr. Amy Kenny, who says that much of the church has forgotten that we worship a disabled God whose wounds survived resurrection.
Dr. Kenny is a disabled scholar and a Shakespeare Lecturer whose research focuses on medical and bodily themes in literature. Her forthcoming book, My Body is Not a Prayer Request: Disability Justice in the Church, shows that the church is missing out on the prophetic witness and blessing of disability - and until we cultivate church spaces where people with disabilities can fully belong, flourish, and lead, we are not valuing the diverse members of the body of Christ.
Pre-order Amy's book.

Customer Reviews
A. S.
This podcast is allowing your full body to play a role in your spirituality and guiding you in that journey! Thank you for awakening my mind to my body without shame and guilt.
So authentic
Morgan is crafting an authentic and safe space for women to process their life experiences. She's leading by example and she isn't shying away from difficult conversations. This is a no shame zone where God's name is clearly glorified.
So helpful!
As a Christian woman, married in my early twenties after growing up in purity culture, I do appreciate how candid this podcast is. I really connect with Morgan because she shares some of the same things I have felt in my young marriage. Thanks for starting the conversation- this is so important!
