In this episode, Brandi sits down with Myles Markham to talk about toxic masculinity and the ways that it shapes how we approach our theology, God, and ourselves. They also make space to consider the ways that reclaiming our theology might look a lot more gentle and more like friendship and practicing presence than we might think.

...From Patriarchy: Toxic Masculinity w/ Myles Markham

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.

Reclaiming Our Theology in the Wilderness w/ Sarah Bessey
