271 - A Bible App for Progressive Christians (with Crystal Cheatum)

Informações:

Sinopse

Crystal Cheatum created a bible app that “ditches toxic theology and provides resources for marginalized communities of faith.”  We learn a bit about her upbringing, discuss faith essentials and hear what theological positions cannot be represented by contributors to the bible studies and devotions on this app.  Crystal is a gracious soul, honors others' journeys, and recognizes the impact a person's upbringing has on his or her religious outlook.  Unlike a lot of the antagonistic approaches seen often these days, her posture bids well for more conservative theological thinkers to understand more progressive outlooks of God and the bible.  The app is “Christo-Centric,” the majority of the included bible studies are written by ministers or seminarians, but people of all spiritual walks can find a home here.  Crystal has a podcast and offers various workshops.  She also shares a bit about the harm of purity culture and her experience of doing the Lords work as a Lesbian woman.  https://www.crystalchea
