Activist Theology Podcast

In this conversation, Dr. Roberto and Rev. Anna discuss the evolution of self and the ways in which we continue to "come out" and evolve. We are ever-becoming – coming out in ways that some may find as "breaking news" and others might find highly uninteresting. Nevertheless, we have a difficult and enlightening conversation.

We hear you. We really do. You are wondering where we are. Why we had to take several weeks away;. We started this podcast about 8 weeks before the world radically changed in 2020. The truth is that our work has accelerated in ways we weren't anticipating and we are trying to balance what it looks like to continue to put this podcast into the world and participate in our other vocational and heart callings. In this episode, we have a conversation about that very thing.

Across the country, we are watching legislatures, school boards, private and public school systems chase the archaic idea that some books are "allowed" to be read by children and some are not. Unsurprising to anyone, the books that are not being allowed are books that expose America's racist, homophobic, transphobic and Christian nationalist past. Dr. Robyn and Rev. Anna share some stories from their home state and attempt to navigate the problematic resurgence of book banning.
