Reimagining God — With Faithfully Radical

In this episode, I talk with Naiomi Gonzalez of Faithfully Radical about how we experience God and the story of Jesus after leaving Christian fundamentalism. Naiomi is a queer Latina Christian with a passion for reclaiming the Gospel in Progressive Christianity and making the church more welcoming for racial minorities.

About 24 (probably now 25) minutes, Naiomi quoted Rita Nakashima Brock. At about 35 minutes, I referenced my conversation with Pastor Kelsey Beebe of the Lady Preacher Podcast where we talked about Progressive Christianity and what it really means. You can listen to that episode here! At one point, while describing her childhood church, Naiomi said that the church services lasted until 2 or 4 in the morning but misspoke and meant in the afternoon! Lastly, in the episode, I asked Naiomi for some book recommendations, and she said: - The Cross and the Lynching Tree by James Cone - Cross Examinations: Readings on the Meaning of the Cross Today by Marit A. Trelstad - Womanist Midrash: A Reintroduction to the Women of the Torah and the Throne by Wilda C. Gafney
