Wrestling with the Meaning of Church with Eli Irvin
<p>Welcome friend of the pod, Eli Irvin! Eli and Gabriel have known each other for many years, and when I (Megan) met him at the Wild Goose Festival last year, I knew we were going to be friends! Eli is an Episcopalian and has devoted his life to loving people well, particularly those in the LGBTQ+ community. We talked about the good and bad of the church, what it really means to love people well, and how love and Christianity are meant to be inefficient. </p> <p>This conversation felt like sitting on a front porch with a couple of southern friends and a glass of lemonade (or bourbon ;) ). It was such a breath of fresh air, and I know you're going to love Eli and be thinking about his words for quite a while. </p> <p>Follow Eli on <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@irvinwithaneye" target="_blank">Tiktok</a> and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/irvinwithaneye/?hl=en" target="_blank">Instagram</a> @irvinwithaneye for theology, Star Trek, and other nerdy fun! </p>

Wrestling with Infantilization in The Church
<p>Do you feel like The Church uses language and manipulation tactics to infantilize people? Have you ever met Christians who seemed immature or unsure of themselves? In this episode, Gabriel and Megan talk about the ways they think the Church has kept Christians in a state of perpetual immaturity, the motivations for that manipulation, and how it plays out differently for men and women. They also talk about their own struggles with having to individuate and mature as adults and the discomforts they've experienced as a result. </p> <p>Sources:</p> <p>We both recommend the movie, <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8097030/" target="_blank">Turning Red</a>. </p> <p><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/03/29/us/hillsong-church-scandals.html" target="_blank">More scandals with Hillsong</a>.</p>

Wrestling with Trauma-Informed Living
<p>In this episode, we interviewed trauma expert, Elizabeth Power, founder of the <a href="https://www.elizabethpower.com/trauma" target="_blank">Trauma Informed Academy</a>. Elizabeth talked to us about what trauma is, how we can become more resilient, and how we can learn to heal ourselves. She believes we can look to ancient texts for wisdom about how community can heal us and make us able to cope with trauma, and that community is something we are sorely lacking in our society. </p> <p>Elizabeth is special to both of us and we could have talked to her all day. We think you'll love hearing from her and find her work to be especially needed in our world. </p> <p><br></p> <p>You can find Elizabeth's <a href="https://www.thehealerseries.com/?r_done=1" target="_blank">books</a> and learn more about her work at <a href="https://www.elizabethpower.com/home" target="_blank">elizabethpower.com</a></p>
