Special Guest:
Matthias Roberts, Queer Psychotherapist & Author of Holy Run Aways: Rediscovering Faith After Being Burned By Religion

Guest Question:
Many people leave a church or faith community because they have been burned by that community. This could be due to trauma or frustration with the leadership, culture or theology of that group. Is it possible for other faith communities to help them heal and get back in touch with religion? Or do other communities need to allow the individual to do some of that healing work on their own first before approaching them or inviting them?

HAPPY HOLIDAYS FROM THE A MATTER OF FAITH CREW!!

Special Guest:
Liz Cooledge Jenkins, Author of Nice Churchy Patriarchy: Reclaiming Women’s Humanity from Evangelicalism

Guest Question:
Even in progressive faith communities, women don’t always feel seen, heard, validated or hear their experience reflected in sermons or scripture. How do we encourage more inclusion of female voices, experiences and perspectives, in communities that already claim to do so?

We are taking a holiday break...but only with our own convos...we will have guests all through the holidays!

Special Guests:
Rev. Becca Seely, Executive Director of the Vine NYC, & Ekama Eni, co-pastor of the Vine's uptown ministry in Manhattan

Guest Question:
College is an important time for faith development in a young person's life. Yet, we see many people stop going to church or engaging their faith when they enter college, regardless of the church or denomination they were raised in. We also see some colleges and churches reducing support for campus ministries. How do we encourage young people to be active spiritually during this time of their lives and also support these important ministries?
