In this penultimate episode before our deeper dive into dominionism, Brandi is joined by author and theologian Kat Armas to talk about the ways that hierarchy undergirds many of our theological and structural assumptions about faith and how, when we subvert hierarchy, we can begin to see God, ourselves, and others (particularly children) anew. 

Kat recently released her most recent book Liturgies for Resisting Empire, it can be found wherever you buy your books. Her other work can be found online at https://katarmas.com/ and online at @kat_armas.

Taking our theology back from ideas and systems that oppress.
@reclaimingmytheology

In this epsiode Brandi is joined by Barnabas Lin and Erna Kim Hackett to talk about state religion and the ways that empires  (throughout history) take on religious identities, co-opt them, and twist exploit them for power, privilege, and influence. 

This conversation was inspired by a recent trip they took to the West Bank and work that Brandi has been doing to learn about the genocide in Gaza and the current reality of the West Bank. The imperial ideas that shape the U.S. are exported, refined and given back to us, creating cycles of structural violence. This conversation and their upcoming podcast explore these ideas in depth.
