WHAT DOES ST. PAUL HAVE TO SAY ABOUT SIN, EVIL, AND DEATH?

Part 1 of 2 on St. Paul + Christian Nationalism with the one and only Mattie Mae Motl!

St. Paul has a LOT to say about sin, and evil, and death -- and a lot of what he has said, or is attributed as saying, has been used to do immense harm. But is that Paul, or how Paul has been used and abused? We're here with Mattie Mae Motl, Bible scholar and Instagram delight, whose entire dissertation asks the question: but what if Paul is MOTHER? Listen in to hear more!

We often talk about the dichotomy between the empire and the reign of God, or the kin-dom of God, or the Kingdom of Heaven. But what IS the empire, and why is is something Christians are called to resist? And how does this intersect with the sin of Christian Nationalism? Join us for a conversation with Kat Armas, author of Liturgies for Resisting Empire: Seeking Community, Belonging, and Peace in a Dehumanizing World as we tackle this question.

More about Kat Armas: https://katarmas.com

Kat Armas is a Cuban American writer, speaker, and theologian from Miami, FL. She holds a ThM from Vanderbilt Divinity School, and a dual MDiv and MAT from Fuller Theological Seminary where she was awarded the Frederick Buechner Award for Excellence in Writing.

Her first book, Abuelita Faith: What Women on the Margins Teach Us About Wisdom, Persistence and Strength, sits at the intersection of women, decolonialism, the Bible, and Cuban identity. Her second book, Sacred Belonging: A 40-day Devotional on the Liberating Heart of Scripture invites readers to encounter the Bible through a decolonized lens, lifting up themes of creation, wisdom, spirit, the body, and the feminine. Her third book Liturgies for Resisting Empire: Seeking Community, Belonging, and Peace in a Dehumanizing World examines the ideologies of empire that infiltrate daily life and offers a pathway toward liberation.

Kat has spoken at seminaries, universities, and conferences nationwide and her work has appeared in the National Catholic Reporter—where one of her essays was shared by the pope!, Plough Magazine, The Christian Century, Christianity Today, Sojornours Magazine, and more.

Kat currently lives on a small farm in middle Tennessee with her family—which includes her spouse, young children, chickens, goats, pigs, dogs, and cats.

What is the role of white women in Christian Nationalism? With the author of Live Laugh Love and Jesus and John Wayne, Kristin Kobes Du Mez.

More about Dr. Du Mez and her incredible work and books: https://kristindumez.com

The MUCH anticipated new book from professor Kristin Kobes Du Mez is here: Live Laugh Love: The Secret History of White Christian Women and the World they Made. It is something of a companion to her NYT bestseller, Jesus and John Wayne. Whereas Jesus and John Wayne took a look at the roots and creation of an idolatrous vision of Jesus as ruggedly masculine and pro-Christian Nationalism, this book looks at the parallel process for women -- and this glittering, seductively saccharine world that is prone to abuse and manipulation. It was, as she said, "supposed to be fun." But it turned in something far more sinister. Listen in for more.
