Reimagine Faith

Episode 11 - The Demonization of Mental Health and Therapy By Religious Culture

In this episode, Destini, Lauren, and TJ breakdown their experiences with how the Church has often demonized and not promoted therapy and good mental health practices, rather favoring a Jesus/God only mentality rather than fostering a balance between physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health and modeling good practices for each.  This one hits close to home as Destini and Lauren are both licensed therapists currently working in the field, and TJ is married to a licensed therapist and was the executive director of a statewide mental health advocacy nonprofit for several years in Tennessee.  We also make time to imagine what finding the balance could look like and why it's important to address our mental health as well.  Join our conversation.  Follow us on Instagram @reimaginefath and DM us on there with your experiences, or email us directly at reimaginefaithpod@gmail.com.

In this episode Destini, Lauren, and TJ tackle the subject of church hurt and what we can take away from our experiences as we try to reimagine what faith can look like in this new season and coming era.  We talk about some of the experiences we've had with hurts from the church and what commonalities we see.  Join the conversation and tell us what church hurts you've experienced and how you are getting through them.  Follow us and DM us on instagram @reimaginefaith or e-mail us a message directly at reimaginefaithpod@gmail.com.

Episode 8 - The Patriarchy and the Role of Women

In this episode, Destini, TJ, and Lauren break down the concept of the Patriarchy in Western society and how it relates to the church and spirituality.  They also ask questions about how to promote women and lean into a spirituality that holds both the masculine and the feminine equally.  We get into some history lessons  and delve into how the history is still influencing opinions on how women are viewed in our culture even today.  We also get into how the over-promotion of the masculine and subjugation of the feminine influences the way we see, know, and experience God.  Rate, review, subscribe.  Follow us on Instagram and Facebook, and reach out to us to let us know what topics you would like us to cover next or just to say hi.  We respond to our comments and messages.  :)
