Episode 44: Redeeming Eden with Ingrid Faro

Today we are sharing a conversation with theologian, professor and author, Ingrid Faro, about her newest book “Redeeming Eden”. Ingrid shares how many people throughout history have misinterpreted creation and the fall in ways that oppress and limit women, as well as how women in the Bible advance the story of salvation. We also talk about Ingrid’s nontraditional faith journey, deconstruction, and what it was like essentially starting over in her 40s. Make sure check out our bonus Substack episode with Ingrid where she and Katy discuss whether or not the church owes women an apology and what exactly that might look like if actually applied.

Episode 43: Becoming a Friendlier Church with Matthew D. Kim

Today we are sharing a conversation with pastor, professor, and author Matthew Kim about his new book “Becoming a Friendlier Church.” In this conversation, Matthew and Katy talk through why most churches perceive themselves as friendly even when that is not the felt experience of visitors, and how often minority groups have often been made to feel left out in church spaces. Matt discusses how pastors can also practice inclusivity in their preaching without compromising their values.
