This week Isabela sits down with Kat Armas - a Cuban American writer, theologian, and podcast host. In 2021, Kat released her debut book, Abuelita Faith: What Women on the Margins Teach Us about Wisdom, Persistence, and Strength.

I am very excited to introduce you to our guest today: Kat Armas. Kat holds a Mdiv and MAT from Fuller Theological Seminary. She is the host of the Protagonistas podcast, where she highlights stories of everyday women of color. She has written for Christianity Today, Sojourners, Relevant, Christians for Biblical Equality, Fuller Youth Institute, and Missio Alliance. She also speaks regularly on race and justice. Kat wrote a book called “Abuelita Faith: What Women on the Margins Teach Us About Wisdom, Persistence, and Strength.” I read it and have been going through it chapter by chapter with a class at our church this fall. It has been challenging for me in so many good ways. Kat's writing has reminded me to be aware of the lenses through which I view Scripture, and to do my best to read Scripture in a way that honors the whole the story — not just the parts with which I am familiar or most comfortable. Throughout her research and writing, Kat also reminds us that God lifts up women to be world-changers and culture-shapers. We see this in Scripture, in the lives of women throughout history, and in the lives of women today.

Today The Truly Co. podcast welcomes Jennifer Trautmann to the show. Jennifer shares her heart and her home with her husband, two boys and her father-in-law. She is a writer, photographer and a licensed minister with the Assemblies of God church. Join Lindsay May as she discusses an article Jennifer wrote in the Pursuit issue titled “Worn Paths: Finding God in the Rhythms of Habit.” Stemming from the grief of losing her mother-in-law to Covid, Jennifer describes how the habit of running allowed her to find a rhythm of connecting with God. It was this ritual that carried her through her darkest moments and gave her the strength and healing she needed. Order your copy of that poignant article here. Jennifer describes how our actions, over time, can open ourselves up to the Lord on a regular basis. And through ritual and routine we can more easily evaluate if we are progressing in different areas of our lives. She offers other suggestions for habits, specifically the importance of personal retreats.  Throughout the podcast, both the book Sacred Rhythms and Abuelita Faith: What Women on the Margins Teach Us About Wisdom, Persistence, and Strength had nuggets in them worth checking out and here are their links! You can connect with Jennifer on Instagram and Facebook.

Welcome to episode forty-eight of New Creation Conversations. In today's conversation I am very excited to be joined by Kat Armas. Kat holds both MDiv and MAT degrees from Fuller Theological Seminary and is currently working on a ThM Degree at Vanderbilt Divinity School. She has published in several venues, including Sojourners, RELEVANT,Fathom Magazine and Mutuality. She is affiliated with the Fuller Youth Institute and Missio Alliance. She is also an accomplished podcaster. Her podcast, “The Protagonistas,” centers on the voices of Black, Indigenous, and other women of color in church leadership and theology. Kat is Cuban-American and insightfully writes and speaks from the intersection of women, Scripture, and her Cuban identity.I have been very anxious to talk with Kat about her recent book, Abuelita Faith: What Women on the Margins Teach Us about Wisdom, Persistence, and Strength – published by Brazos Press. I know it's still early in 2022, but I don't doubt that when the year is over it will make my personal list of most formative books that I read this year. Not only is the book a great tribute to her Cuban heritage and the women (especially her grandmother) who were such important sources of wisdom and guidance in her life, it is also an amazing journey exploring many of the overlooked women in the pages of the Scripture. As Kat's book helps the reader realize, those of us from various majority cultures often read about various people on the margins, but faith to read with them. Because the Scripture emerges from a marginalized people, often reading with those on the margins can help us see the richness, beauty, and truthfulness of the text in ways we simply cannot see. I am very grateful for voices like Kat's who can help us recognize the theological beauty and insight from persons and places that have too often been overlooked. I deeply loved Kat's book. I was thrilled to get to talk to her about it, and it brings me joy to get to bring that conversation to you. 

Welcome to the fourth and final week of Advent. We're almost there!  HE is almost here! But… we keep waiting. We keep longing for things to be made right. For a little while longer.  Today we are waiting with Kat Armas. Kat is a Cuban-American writer and podcaster from Miami, FL who holds a dual MDiv and MAT. Her first book, Abuelita Faith: What Women on the Margins Teach Us About Wisdom, Persistence and Strength sits at the intersection of women, Scripture, and Cuban identity. She also explores these topics on her podcast, The Protagonistas, which centers the voices of Black, Indigenous, and other women of color in church leadership and theology.

Kat Armas is a graduate of Fuller Theological Seminary (MDiv and MAT) and hosts the popular Protagonistas Podcast, where she highlights the stories of everyday women of color. She has written for a number of popular outlets including Christianity Today, Sojourners, Relevant, Christians for Biblical Equality, Fuller Youth Institute, and Missio Alliance. Today we discuss her new book- Abuelita Faith: What Women on the Margins Teach Us about Wisdom, Persistence, and Strength (Brazos Press, 2021).

Today I am sitting down with the incredible Kat Armas. Kat is a Cuban-American author and podcaster who is passionate about elevating the voices of women of color, asking big questions and wrestling with American culture to have a more clear view of God and how He makes Himself known through people and their experiences. She invites readers into the wrestle of our ideas about wisdom, or ideas we have developed about what makes someone a “theologian,” and perhaps how we limit who is influential in our faith development in beautiful book Abuelita Faith: What Women on the Margins Teach Us About Wisdom, Persistence and Strength. After being raised in Miami, Florida, surrounded by Cuban culture, and then moving to predominantly white evangelical world in seminary, Kat struggled to find her footing as a woman in male-dominated space, and as a woman of color, raised by women, and called by God to use her gifts for His glory. We'll talk about things like: What do you do when your life doesn't pan out into what may be described as a typical “American” family or faith? How do you really wrestle with the Christianity that has been passed down to you when that's its history? We'll define some buzzword terms and try to take the sting out of them that can keep us from actually having productive conversations about them  like patriarchal vs. matriarchal society, a colonized Jesus vs. Jesus in the context of the Bible. Decolonizing, Deconstruction, etc. We're going deep, friends. This is an opportunity for you to sit at a table where you may not be the most comfortable, but where there is such beauty to behold, things to learn about a culture unique from your own, and a fuller picture of how God makes Himself known in other communities in the world, and how He may have something to share specifically with you about who YOU were uniquely made to be in our homes, in our faith families and the body of Christ as a whole.  Reading Kat's book, and spending time with her has really stretched me. One thing that encourages me so much is that God is there in the midst of our complicated and messy stories of being a human. Jesus meets ALL of us exactly where we are, Living in the middle place, where so much of what we have known and seen, where we're from, and being willing to process a more robust view of God, and seeing Him through the eyes of our friends and neighbors in scripture has just made God all the more powerful, merciful and beautiful to me. It makes the call to go and share the Gospel with ALL nations so much more powerful and dare I say possible? When we are willing to learn about what life may look like for various nations, tribes, tongues and cultures unique from mine, then there is compassion to come together as we are, where we are, and there we can talk about Jesus. There, we can see how much all our stories matter. Your story matters, friend. You matter.

What happened that day through his comments is still hurtful on so many levels to me personally and so many women that I know and love in this ministry life, and had truly astounding ripple effects I am still feeling in my own life and faith community. I left it as part of the conversation with Kat because I think it's important to hear the hurts of people, but I also don't mean to leave it in there to act as a “cancelling” of someone who I do believe is passionate about God's Word, he's just also human, and God is God in his life, and is still bringing the work in him to completion. Additionally, I don't know who Kat's hermeneutics professor was that said what he said to her, but I pray the Lord meets him and shows him the gift that the daughters of Eve offer to the Kingdom of God no matter where God leads them and regardless of their marital status.

Kat Armas comes to the show this week to discuss embodiment, the sacredness of survival, and the faith of our grandmothers. Kat argues that our grandmothers, especially abuelitas in Latine cultures, function as live-in ministers particularly because the privilege to receive formal religious instruction is often unavailable.

What if some of our greatest theologians aren’t normally recognized as theologians at all? Second-generation Cuban American Kat Armas joins us to talk about how marginalized and overlooked voices–mothers, grandmothers, sisters, and daughters–have more to teach us about following God than we realize. Kat’s book is Abuelita Faith: What Women on the Margins Teach Us […] The post Kat Armas: What Women on the Margins Teach Us About Faith appeared first on Gravity Leadership.

Abuelita Faith: What Women on the Margins Teach Us about Wisdom, Persistence, and Strength (Brazos Press, 2021), written by Kat Armas was published by Brazos Press in 2021. In this honest and insightful book, Kat takes us deep into the complexity of the survival theology, and leads us back with her abuelita's lived experience and resilience. Kat Armas, a second-generation Cuban American, grew up on the outskirts of Miami's famed Little Havana neighborhood. Her earliest theological formation came from her grandmother, her abuelita, who fled Cuba during the height of political unrest and raised three children alone after her husband passed away. Combining personal storytelling with biblical reflection, Armas shows us how voices on the margins--those often dismissed, isolated, and oppressed because of their race, gender, socioeconomic status, or lack of education--have more to teach us about following God than we realize. Abuelita Faith tells the story of unnamed and overlooked theologians in society and in the Bible--mothers, grandmothers, sisters, and daughters--whose survival, strength, resistance, and persistence teach us the true power of faith and love. The author's exploration of abuelita theology will help people of all cultural and ethnic backgrounds reflect on the abuelitas in their lives and ministries and on ways they can live out abuelita faith every day. Meg Gambino is an artist and activist currently working as the Director of Outreach for an addiction recovery center. Her life mission is to creatively empower others by modeling reconciliation between communities of people and people on the margins. Find her work at reconfigureart.com.
