Who's Afraid of Deconstruction?
Roadies! We are back! We have missed you on our long hiatus and we explain our absence before taking a deep dive into the religious harm done when religious systems are so insecure that they feel threatened by the idea 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.

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.

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!

Refreshing
It’s a beauty witnessing when you listen to insightful and provocative conversations between souls that really get what authenticity, meaningful conversations and compassionate companionship looks like. Tune in to this one. It nourishing for the soul!
Fantastic
I love the ways Paula & Jill help me think through the many ways mental health and religion/faith/spirituality interweave. They are smart, down to earth, funny and enjoyable … even with topics that can be “heavy.”
Great!
Thoughtful conversation about religion. I especially liked the one on boundaries. Give them a listen!
