Black Girl Theology Podcast

Date: May 1, 2025Podcast: Black Girl TheologyEpisode Title: S3E6 | Surrendering Your FeelingsINTRODUCTION:Our feelings are only information—not our guide. Sometimes, it can be easy to be led by our emotions, and that can get in the way of our obedience to God. In today's episode, I reflect on what it looks like to turn to Scripture when my feelings try to take the lead. I open up about my own experiences with bringing my emotions to God and how He's helped me process them in light of His truth, rather than letting them control my decisions.PATREONWe now have a Black Girl Theology community on Patreon!

Date: April 18, 2025Podcast: Black Girl TheologyEpisode Title: S3E4 | The Cost of Surrender with Ashtyn WashingtonINTRODUCTION:On this Good Friday, we pause to reflect on the weight of what Jesus did. Not just His suffering, but His surrender.In a world where strength looks like resistance, Jesus showed us a different kind of power: the kind that lays itself down in obedience to the Father's will.In this episode, we walk through Jesus' journey from the Garden of Gethsemane to Golgotha, and what it truly means that He chose the cross. We'll unpack the significance of His words, “Not my will, but Yours be done,” and how His surrender became the pathway to our salvation.If you wrestle with surrender in your own life — letting go of control, trusting God in uncertainty — this conversation will meet you right where you are.PATREONWe now have a Black Girl Theology community on Patreon!

Date: December 27, 2023Name of podcast: Black Girl TheologyEpisode title and number: Ep. 6 | Let's Talk About Spiritual Disciplines Welcome back to another episode of the Black Girl Theology podcast. In this season, we have been talking about the basic fundamental principles of Christianity and theology. In the next season, we are going to talk about what it's like going through seasons of transition, and how hard, heartbreaking, and healing that can be. I'll be bringing on a few of my favorite Black girls to discuss how transition has been showing up in their lives as well. But, in today's episode we are going to be talking about spiritual disciplines. Up until this point, we have discussed the Bible and how it came to be. In the last episode, we talked about salvation and the process of sanctification and justification. And in that episode, we described sanctification as the process by which Christians are set apart for God from the rest of the world, or the process by which Christians are made holy (this is otherwise known as spiritual maturity and it happens over the lifetime of a Christian).The only way for us to grow in maturity over our lifetime is to continue in our spiritual disciplines. So we're going to dive into what those are today.Black Girl Theologian of the WeekThis week's BGT is Jackie Hill Perry. Jackie is a Bible teacher, writer, and artist.

//EPISODE DESCRIPTIONDate: April 26, 2023 Name of podcast: Black Girl Theology Episode title and number: Ep. 5 | Let's Talk About Salvation If you've ever asked yourself something along the lines of, “How do I know that I'm really saved?” or “If I was really saved, why can't I stop committing this one sin?”, this episode is for you. Black Girl Theologian of the Week This week's BGT is Yana Jenay. Through teaching, writing, and disciplemaking, Yana desires to curate content that will help others think well and exchange a secular worldview for a biblical one. She has done this through a blog series called The Miseducation of Music, providing theological training and consultation on race and unity to churches and organizations, and walking alongside women through anxiety, depression, and harmful patterns of sin. You can also find her writings on platforms, such as Gospel-Centered Discipleship and The Jude 3 Project. She also wrote The Jude 3 Project's black apologetic's curriculum, Through the Eyes of Color. Yana is also the host of a podcast that I really enjoy, “Living Single with Yana Jenay”. This podcast is all about singleness. Not dating or how to prepare yourself for marriage but how to LIVE single. Though the culture (church culture included) has convinced us that marriage and romantic love is the pinnacle of life, in this podcast, Yana Jenay shares how her faith in Christ has caused her to embrace a new narrative. Her hope is to move the conversation about singleness past contentment to celebration and create a movement of #notthirsty singles.
