Let's get a drink sometime!New York's a drinking town. Happy hours. Boozy brunches. Martinis and oysters. The city's social life revolves around artisan cocktails and bubbly toasts and late night dive bars. And while the pandemic may have put a screeching halt to the social side of that life, it didn't stop the flow of booze. Restaurants offered craft cocktails to go, the sidewalks became open carry and delivery drinks were an app away. Drinking went from social to solo and it was during that time that both Katelyn and Roxy began to wonder if all this imbibing was really OK.On this episode, we examine our relationships with alcohol and the changes we've made since the pandemic. We're joined by Sarah Bessey — a self-described "evangelist" for the sober life — who gave up drinking a few years ago and hasn't looked back since.GUESTSarah Bessey is the author of several books, including Jesus Feminist and the co-founder of the Evolving Faith conference.

In this episode, Heather talks to Canadian Christian writer Sarah Bessey about public platforms, human connections, and embodying the fruit of the Spirit. As the author of such bestselling books as Jesus Feminist and A Rhythm of Prayer, Sarah had built a vibrant community of over 88,000 people on Twitter. But last year she was forced to start over from scratch when her account was unexpectedly deleted. Today she has less than half her previous followers, but she's steadily rebuilding. Most importantly, she's learned that, even though they may have disappeared from her profile page, her community never left. Sarah's journey reminds us that social media is always, first and foremost, a social network. You can't build followers without building relationships. Sarah's social media setback will help you get back to the basics of what really matters: our connection to each other.

Happy Birthday to ME! Earth Day 2021 officially marks the third year of The Enlighten Me Podcast. Woohoo! Man, these 3 years have flown by. More than anything, I'm so proud of all the episodes that I've put out (even the earlier, cringe-worthy ones!) and all the guests who have lent their time and their expertise to educate us all. In honor of all that time, effort, and energy spent over the past 3 years, I am bringing you a fun and celebratory episode with a dear friend and faithful podcast supporter - welcome Kathryn! Kathryn is one of my very best friends and has been a huge support in making this podcast happen (especially when it comes to the technical side of things). She's also a super fun person and I knew she'd be great at helping me to celebrate this milestone. Today on the show, we're doing a little bit of role reversal. Kathryn is asking me the questions and we're going more in depth on how the podcast got started, what you can expect to hear in the coming year, and a bit more about me, your host! I'm so excited to celebrate this third birthday with the people who help to make this show happen. To all those of you who subscribe, leave ratings and reviews, use my affiliate links, encourage me and inspire my content - THANK YOU! I wouldn't be doing this if it weren't for you! Now listen in if you want to hear about the sunscreen-turned-foundation I'm loving this summer and why I think dessert hummus is the best invention of all-time… Here's to another year of learning together and having fun doing it!

Heartfelt conversations, laughter, and a few corny moments. That's what you can expect to hear on Part 2 of the 2020 Year in Review episode with my husband, Justin. (And really, that's what you can expect with any conversation with him!) The annual Year in Review episode is something I always look forward to, and because of the way he inspires and the way he makes me laugh, Justin is always the perfect guest to join me for it! In case you missed it, Part 1 of the Year in Review aired last week. Make sure you check that out first to hear all about our 2020 and our hopes and dreams for 2021! To view the full show notes, continue reading here or visit my website: http://www.heartfelthippie.com (www.heartfelthippie.com) In today's show, we'll be sharing more about what 2021 is going to look like for us. At least, what we tentatively plan on it looking like. If we learned anything last year, it's not to get too lofty with our goals because who knows what the Lord has in store! We're being cautiously optimistic as we look ahead to the new year, but we're also reviewing a few of our favorites from the past. I always love getting recommendations from guests on things like books to read and brands to try, and so today's conversation is no different. You can find links to everything that Justin and I recommend below. Of course, you know that if you follow along with me on social media you'll be getting my recommendations year ‘round. However, Justin only makes an annual appearance on the show, so pay close attention to his tips. Until next year, listeners!

Sarah Bessey believes that Jesus was a feminist. Her book, Jesus Feminist was released last week. Was Jesus a MGTOW, stuck between the blue pill and red pill worlds, or was he a feminist after all? Here are my thoughts on her book "Jesus Feminist" as well as my ideas about Christianity and Feminism and how they both destroy male self esteem Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/mgtow/donations Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
Sarah Bessey is the author of the best-selling and critically-acclaimed books “Jesus Feminist” and “Out of Sorts: Making Peace with an Evolving Faith.” She's a sought-after speaker at conferences, churches, and universities around the world. I love this conversation because Sarah is so brutally honest about her journey as a writer. She literally lived to tell the horrors of rejection from book agents and peers — essentially telling her that she wasn't going to get a book deal! In this episode, we talk about all of that, plus what it means to have expectations versus being expectant. Bonus: I also get a little personal about my faith and my own struggles about labels.--Love the podcast?

In this episode, famed Hebrew Bible scholar Dr. Wil Gafney offers us the opportunity to experience evolution in our interpretation of Scripture through the richness of womanist biblical interpretation. Sarah and Jeff explore how an evolution of faith necessitates an evolution in our relationship with Scripture, learning how to integrate the harder stories of the Bible without explaining them away, welcoming other collaborators to our understanding of faith, and Sarah's own evolution since writing “Jesus Feminist.” P.S. One word of caution: some of the themes in this talk could be triggering for some listeners as we discuss themes of rape, incest, and violence. Please listen at your discretion.

I'm with one of my wisest friends and all-time favorite writers Sarah Bessey to talk about her new book Miracles And Other Reasonable Things. After this conversation, you'll realize why I binge-read it in less than two days and couldn't make it through the interview without crying. Sarah shares the tender story of healing from a tragic car accident, what God taught in the depths of tremendous suffering, and why she values healing above a quick cure. In this episode we discuss: 1. Why she's a "Jesus Feminist" 2. How she connected me to one of my most important jobs 3. How God is gracious to meet us, even when we've put Him in a box Favorite quotes: 1. This is not about curing and it's not about big grand miracles even though some of those things show up. It's about what it looks like to pursue and stay open to healing and all its forms. 2. The wilderness is not the absence of God‘s presence but actually an invitation from the Holy Spirit to encounter the love of God and a new and different wider open space perhaps. 3. God is larger than your own story, yet will still remain with you where you are. In this episode I answer these questions: 1. You seem so organized. How do you keep up with everything you do, what's your secret? (59:46) 2. How do I encourage my husband and his spiritual maturity without pushing? (1:05:50) 3. How do you force yourself to do the boring stuff in business? (1:08:38) Links to great things we discussed: 1. Sarah Bessey 2. Miracles and Other Reasonable Things 3. The Highwomen - Crowded Table 4.

The science is there (but you'll have to google it): reading may stave off Alzheimers, aids us in quest for empathy, provides the brain with necessary food to function, and gives us something to talk about at the dinner table, or at awkward parties when meeting strangers. Books make the world go round, which is probably why dictators burn them. Words are powerful, life giving and life changing (unless you're a dictator, where the opposite is true). From the book Night to Jesus Feminist, to Barbara Brown Taylor and Brother Lawrence, we've got the goods, and we want to share it all with you. What are you reading? Share with us, so we can add them to our Summer Reads! Thanks for listening! Did you know we created FREE Why Tho video resources just for you?

25 minutes is not enough time to unpack the difficulties we experience as women because of our gender, but hey, here we go! It's common within nearly every context of society for women to feel subservient, or not good enough, or like the sole responsibility for all emotional and physical labor belongs to us. We think there's a better way, and that women can be, and should be valued and viewed equally. Learn with Ashley and Tiffany how to speak up, how to honor other women, and that you're not alone as you navigate the gender gaps in your sphere of influence. For more on this topic, we recommend Sarah Bessey's book, Jesus Feminist, and this incredible Ted Talk by Chimamanda Ngozi: https://www.ted.com/talks/chimamanda_ngozi_adichie_we_should_all_be_feminists?language=en.

It's one of those occasional weeks where Brian and Eric (due to this, you know, not being their day job) were unable to meet up to record the response episode to Brian's interview with his friend Emily (see Episode 57: Jesus Feminist). We'll have that response episode for you next week, rest assured. In the meantime, however, HAVE NO FEAR: the Passing Currents Podcast does not leave you alone without content. This week, we present for you a talk Eric gave at the Diocese of Winona-Rochester summer youth camp, Camp Summit. In the talk, Eric discusses what God means when he tells us to “be not afraid.
In an interview with a college friend, Brian explores what might make continuing conversion more difficult for the convert, and how we can help as members of the Body of Christ.

Why Jesus is central. What does it mean to really follow Jesus? What is so important about “plain old church?” “Church” in the abstract vs. participating with the people of the Church Church as a spiritual discipline Church as counter-cultural practice Church as not tame The shift that took place in Sarah’s spiritual life.

In part two of our video episode, Pastor Rick Henderson welcomes guest co-hosts Becky Bruce and Rob Lambert to talk about the viral hashtag from self-proclaimed Jesus Feminist, Sarah Bessey - #ThingsOnlyChristianWomenHear. The hashtag erupted on twitter, with observations about women being relegated to service but never leadership, comments about infertility and family planning, and much more. Does it indicate a real cultural or doctrinal problem in churches? Is religion somehow inherently sexist? Does faith accidentally encourage abuse? What does all of that mean for the battle of the sexes?
What is Jesus hoping to set you free from? If you have grown up in Christianity you probably know all about conviction and sin. But what if there’s more to the story? If Jesus came to set captives free, what does that really look like in our life? And what if freedom is about even giving up things that aren’t necessarily sin? This week we have the amazing pleasure of interviewing author and blogger, Sarah Bessey. This is an honest conversation about how God is freeing her up in life, showing her the true author of discipline, and how the gentle the voice of the Holy Spirit really is. We’ll also examine the role of discipleship and how it’s difference than we might have thought.

"Before we get to make the same amount of money as men, our God sees us as equal. I think that makes Jesus a bit of a feminist." In this episode of That'll Preach, Jacqui Lewis reflects on Jesus’s encounter with the Samaritan woman (John 4.5–42). How can we read Jesus’s interactions with women as evidence that God sees us all as equal?

Sarah Bessey, author of Jesus Feminist, joins the show with Rick Henderson and Mike Bell. They tackle feminism, doubt and what it really means to follow Jesus. She shares her experiences with the U.S. Immigration process. And, in a surprise twist, maybe the Canadians have something to teach us about common sense compassion.

In the last episode, Mike Bell and Rick Henderson reacted with emotional hostility to the question, "Are you a feminist?" In this episode they take a look at the true history of feminism and react to the perspective of Sarah Bessey, author of Jesus Feminist, a pro-life, Christian who believes the Bible teaches all of us to embrace rights for women as followers of Christ. Will Mike and Rick change their tune and admit that they were wrong?
We're back and Kevin is sitting down with author, pastor, and recovering know-it-all, Sarah Bessey. In addition to touching on her books "Out of Sorts" and "Jesus Feminist," there is a lot of laughs, a bit of sarcasm, and a brilliant conversation about how being out of control is where the most growth happens.

Hey Sistas, Cara and I had a blast talking about "Bad Feminist" written by Roxane Gay on the podcast today. A collection of essays spanning politics, criticism, and feminism from one of the most-watched young cultural observers of her generation, Roxane Gay. “Pink is my favorite color. I used to say my favorite color was black to be cool, but it is pink—all shades of pink. If I have an accessory, it is probably pink. I read Vogue, and I’m not doing it ironically, though it might seem that way. I once live-tweeted the September issue.” We talk about how Sarah Bessey's book, "Jesus Feminist" prepped us to read this book from a whole place. We share our favorite essays (yay), and the ones that didn't quite speak to us, (nay...or more accurately.. meh), we touch on the differences between feminism and womanism, and, of course, Cara sings We give shout outs to the Sistas who shared their thoughts of the book over at the Shalom Sista Hangout. Ashley Ford's thoughts were SO SPOT ON! I love the grace in it. For ourselves and each other. She's unequivocal in her declaration of how necessary the peace-making practice of feminism is, while also holding that it, and she, is no perfect. She won't let that stop her march toward wholeness though. And it's an encouragement not to let it stop us either. You could, of course, extrapolate that idea out to any practice of shalom, which I think is the greater truth here. It was a fabulous conversation and we hope you love it too! Don't forget to get your copy of, "Esperanza Rising" for next month's book club from the Shalom Bookstore*. Esperanza thought she’d always live with her family on their ranch in Mexico–she’d always have fancy dresses, a beautiful home, and servants. But a sudden tragedy forces Esperanza and Mama to flee to California during the Great Depression, and to settle in a camp for Mexican farm workers. Esperanza isn’t ready for the hard labor, financial struggles, or lack of acceptance she now faces. When their new life is threatened, Esperanza must find a way to rise above her difficult circumstances–Mama’s life, and her own, depend on it. BTW...Doesn't this cover give you, Beyonce's "Hold Up" vibe from "Lemonade"? We hope you pop over to the hangout and share your thoughts on, “Bad Feminist” and if you’re reading, “Esperanza Rising” with Cara and me let us know. Your thoughts and questions are super important to our conversations.
