  • 47. White Womanhood and Everyday Antiracism with Jenny Booth Potter

    47. White Womanhood and Everyday Antiracism with Jenny Booth Potter
    Apr 10 2023

    On this episode, I have an incredible conversation with Jenny Booth Potter, a creative producer, storyteller, and co-host of The Next Question, a web series about expanding our imagination for racial justice. She has co-led racial justice trainings across the country for churches and organizations, and is the Chief Content Officer of HerSelf Media, a company that aims to create stories that empower and bring joy to Black women. I recently read her new book, Doing Nothing Is No Longer an Option, and was excited when she agreed to join us on the Sanctuary Woman. We talk a lot about purity culture on this podcast, and I think there is a really interesting thread that comes up in this conversation that I'm glad we pulled on. We talk about intersectionality, parenting, idolizing innocence and protecting it at all costs, and reflecting on our own inner Karen.

    46. Faith in Transition with Natalie Drew
    Mar 31 2023
    I'm excited to introduce you to Natalie Drew, a Christian who is also a transgender woman.   Trigger Warning: Suicide is discussed at several points in this episode. Please do skip this episode if that could be a trigger for you. <3    Connect with Natalie on Twitter: https://twitter.com/natgrace79    Click here to help fund Natalie's upcoming gender-affirming procedure.   March 31 is Transgender Day of Visibility, and you may have heard that the transgender community has been the target of a lot of misinformation and dehumanization as extreme political and religious groups are doing everything they can to keep trans people in the margins of society, unable to thrive and access the care and support, the education and resources needed to simply be who they are. The Human Rights Campaign estimates that there are 2 million trans and gender non-conforming people in the United States alone, and they are at a greater risk of being the victims of violence and hate crimes than those who are cis-gender. Recent data also indicates that 82% of transgender individuals have considered ending their own lives and 40% have actually attempted suicide, with suicidality highest among transgender youth. Caring for our transgender neighbors and siblings in Christ is very much a pro-life issue. And no matter your theology or your understanding of gender, it's critical--if the sanctity of life means anything to you--it's critical that we advocate for their care and their rights and their right for care. It's also critical that we listen to the stories and the voices of those in the trans community, and we believe what they say about their lived experiences.

  • 45. Unsilencing Our Stories to Silence Sexual Shame with Jessica Harris

    45. Unsilencing Our Stories to Silence Sexual Shame with Jessica Harris
    Feb 16 2023
    Welcome to Sanctuary Woman, a place that invites women to show up with their whole minds and their whole bodies rather than suppress that which the church may have told us is shameful. Many Christian women have nowhere to turn and are looking for the brave spaces, the safe spaces, where their sexual shame can be spoken, set free, and can finally be undone.   Our guest today, Jessica Harris, has been there, and she has made it her mission to break the silence, banish the shame, and bring women's struggles into the light of God's grace, liberation, and forgiveness. She understands that when you suffer in silence, a wall of shame is built between yourself and God that God does not desire for you. In her new authentic and honest book, Quenched: Discovering God's Abundant Grace for Women Struggling with Pornography and Sexual Shame, Jessica shows women a road map for restoration.    If you are someone who feels stuck in any sort of sexual shame this episode is for you.
