...more May 20, 2022Welcome Back! Welcome back friends (and dare I call you, family?)!
We wanted to check back in, and say thank you all for your love, support, and ESPECIALLY for your patience over the last few months!
We took an unexpected but much needed break as myself, Jessica, and Natalie navigated life and all of its demands and complexity. We also wanted to take a moment to plan and prepare for the trajectory of this podcast.
We wanted to let you know that we will be back soon, releasing some exciting conversations that I think you’ll really love.
Although there is so much to discuss in the come follow me curriculum, for this podcast we’ve decided to mix things up a bit. Rather than going chapter by chapter (which as you know we’ve already missed the boat on) we’re going to pull out specific symbols, themes, and topics that show up, and do some deep dives.
We think this is going to help you follow the threads and see how our Mother God has woven her fingerprints throughout the tapestry of scripture and history, on a broader scale.
We’ll be back soon… thanks for sticking around! We love you and we are so excited to start up these conversations again seeking to better understand the divine in the ancient world, in our modern world, in our worship, in ourselves.
Welcome back to Behold Thy Mother!
Love,
Alynne, Jessica, & Natalie
