Deconstruction 201: When We Walk Away w/ Jonathan Martin

Reclaiming My Theology is a podcast and community taking our theology back from ideas and systems that oppress. My name is Brandi Miller, some of you know me as @brandinico in online spaces. For over a decade, I have been exploring, unlearing, and reimagining my faith outside of systemic oppression and want to bring you along with me! Each season of the podcast will be a deep dive into a form of systemic oppression and ask how the values of oppressive ideas shape our hearts, minds, politics, and lived experiences. There are so many things to reclaim our theology from: white supremacy, patriarchy and misogyny, capitalism, homophobia, ableism and more. As we launch our first season, we will be reclaiming our theology from white supremacy. Each episode, I will talk to a guest about how the attributes of oppressive ideologies have infiltrated how we see ourselves, each other, and God. We will learn from marginalized communities who practice a different way, and seek to create a more just faith experience together.

In this episode, Brandi is joined by Dr. Sara Moslener, author of Virgin Nation to do a survey of the politics and history of purity culture. They discuss that purity culture, birthed out of political movements, entrenches us more deeply in racism, social control mechanisms, and conservative politics.

Reclaiming Our Theology in the Wilderness w/ Sarah Bessey
