Advent - Week Four: PEACE Emmanuel, God with us…O come sweet Jesus. Week four of Advent we talk about PEACE. In this podcast episode, Tracy and I talk about what it means to arrive at place of peace regardless of how dark the night is. As this week in the world, winter solstice is upon us, the darkest day of the year, we can know the Prince of Peace. May you know peace this last week of Advent and as this year dies and a new year is born.

Joy is defiant. Joy is faith and defiance. Tracy and Christy discuss Advent's deep spaces of sorrow are all tied to relationship. If the incarnation is God “with us” we taste of that with people and community. Sorrow is threatened “with-ness” The great news with great joy is the incarnation - God will come again, joy will come again. womaneering.com

Tracy Johnson and Dr. Christy Bauman engage in another conversation about The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill podcast particularly the lack of options women have in the church. This episode highlights the shame culture and sexual shame that impact Christian women's ability to live out of a place of mutuality and wholeness. Join us for the conversation as we dive into what kind of faith it takes for women to remain Christians in the Western, Evangelical church under narcissistic leaders. This episode will talk about shame culture defined as an oppressive nature of American patriarchy emphasizing fundamental effects that shame or dehumanization have on the psychological development of women. We will also discuss the clinical definition of sexual shame as internalized feelings of disgust and humiliation toward one's own body and identity as a sexual being; particularly feelings of abnormality, inferiority, and unworthiness (Clarke, 2017). "It would appear women are without options." Tracy so brilliantly says in the episode. We explore what it means to have a deeper faith and engage God's options for women rather than man's options for women. Join us at womaneering.com or on any major podcast venue.
