Unmarried women are ruining everything! At least according to some people who went to Twitter, Fox News, and God only knows where else to bemoan last week's midterm election results — placing a large share of their disappointment at the feet of unmarried women, who broke strongly for Democrats. Suffice it to say, their words were not very nice. Anyway, politics aside, we think their vitriol was misguided — and we have the data to prove it!On this week's episode, Katelyn and Roxy dive into some research on the state of unmarried women and the church. We discuss the importance of "thick community" and the false promises of independence.Plus, we talk with Karen González, on how to move beyond "welcoming immigrants" to relationships of mutuality and kinship.GUEST:Karen González is an immigrant advocate, writer — and unmarried woman, by the way, who is kicking butt and taking names — and author of the new book "Beyond Welcome: Centering Immigrants in Our Christian Response to Immigration."

In this episode I sit down with Karen to talk about her new book Beyond Welcome: Centering Immigrants in Our Christian Response to Immigration For more information on this podcast and to get extra content from my colleagues; Trey and Sam please go to: http://www.patreon.com/threeblackmen
In today's conversation I got to make a new friend and have a wonderful conversation about an important cultural the theological issue - immigration. Karen Gonzalez is a writer, speaker, and immigrant advocate who emigrated from Guatemala as a child. She attended Fuller Theological Seminary, where she studied theology and missiology. For the last 15 years, Karen has been a non-profit professional, currently working for an organization that serves asylum seekers. She wrote a book about her own immigration and story and the many immigrants found in the Bible in The God Who Sees: Immigrants, the Bible, and the Journey to Belong (Herald Press, 2019). Her new book is Beyond Welcome: Centering Immigrants in our Christian Response to Immigration (scheduled to be released on October 18, 2022, from Brazos Press). I was privileged to get to read an advanced copy of the book and found it to be so helpful in clarifying our language related to immigration, understanding the realities of the many populations on the move in the world, reflect biblically on the subject, and think imaginatively about our Christian response. It is a very helpful and readable book, and a thoughtful conversation.
Karen González is a speaker, writer, storyteller, and immigrant advocate, who herself immigrated from Guatemala as a child. Karen is a previous guest who shared her story on episode #166. Today, Karen and I talk about normalizing movement of population, why being a stranger in a strange land should give Christians empathy, and what to do about Christian nationalism. Karen's work reminds us of God's view of immigrants and challenges us to serve. care for, and love them. You won't want to miss this episode. Listen to Karen's story today wherever you get your podcasts! Stories Karen shared: How her first book, The God Who Sees, was received Why movement of people between countries (and states) is normal What it's like being a stranger in a strange land What it means to “center” immigrants in the conversation What we lose if we require assimilation instead of Christlikeness The difference between integration and assimilation The rise of Christian nationalism and what to do about it The difference between a nationalistic view and the way Jesus sees people Great quotes from Karen: People have always moved for the reasons they move today. When you are who you are, it's flaws and all. We ask people to conform to our image.

Comadre Jennifer sets up the conversation this week. The beauty of comadrazgo is that it invites us to have deeper conversations. We could not talk about embodiment without acknowledging what Dr. Crenshaw coined as “intersectionality”. First and foremost, to describe the lived experiences of Black women in the United States in a legal/judicial system, today, that term has evolved and has been a gift for so many of us. Join la mesa with two special comadres. One whom you already know, Karen Gonzalez and one that is joining us in this podcast for the first time Dr. Tamisha Tyler. Dr. Tyler is an artist, a theologian, a singer, a dancer, a foodie, a lover of all things science-fiction and cartoons and particularly future pessimism. Her dissertation focused on the writings of Octavia Butler. Resources mentioned in today's episode: Coleman, Monica. Making a Way Out of No Way: A Womanist Theology, 2008 Crenshaw, Kimberlé.

The story of Jesus and the Samaritan woman in John 4 is quite rich and unique. In the words of Karen Gonzalez, “When Jesus encounters the Samaritan woman, he transforms her life, her view of herself, and perhaps even her calling. But she remains both a Samaritan and a woman —remade by the gospel, who finds her identity and purpose in her encounter with Christ and embarks on a journey to be like him”. Join us this Sunday as we dive deeper into these waters and discover the story of the Jesus who sees us and knows us.
In this episode, I talk to Karen about all things related to immigration. What does the Bible say? How theologically/ethically important is it?

Have you ever read the bible through the stories of an immigrant? In this episode, Karen Gonzalez is sharing her immigration story and stories of immigrants found in the Bible. Throughout Scripture there are many examples of people who fled their homelands - Hagar, Joseph, Ruth, and even Jesus. The courage, loss, joy, and pain has never gone unnoticed by “The God Who Sees” and they don’t go unnoticed now. Karen believes that we do not get our view of migration from the bible, we get it from society, family, peers and even churches. Being an immigrant Karen loves to bring awareness to the fact that the stories we read in Bible are about immigrants and God's love and protection over them. She will tell you that the question about immigration is so much about belonging and that Jesus transcends all these cultures, all of these borders! Listen in as Karen shares the story biblical immigrants like Abraham, Joseph and Ruth. KAREN GONZALES
On the surface, welcoming an immigrant seems kind. Karen Gonzalez asks Christians to look again and push deeper. Karen Gonzalez is a writer, speaker, and immigrant advocate. She is the author of The God Who Sees: Immigrants, the Bible, and the Journey to Belong. In this conversation, Karen describes how her writing and theology has shifted since attending the 2019 Writing for Mystic Activists writing workshop at the Collegeville Institute. Writing can be a form of activism, and it can also be a way to live out a calling to collective liberation.
Karen Gonzalez, ePortfolio Assistant at the CUNY School of Professional Studies, shares her inspiring journey as not only an assistant but also a mentor, cheerleader, guide, and, oftentimes, friend. In her eyes, “it doesn't matter where you are [physically located], it's really about engagement.” Encouraging primarily non-traditional, e-learning students to reflect on their learning, consider key takeaways, and pick apart the essential connections from course-to-course is her objective. “It doesn't matter how long it takes, I think it's really about finding those points of connection for them. An e-portfolio helps them do that and I think that experience is what creates a sense of belonging.”

Many American Christians have good intentions, working hard to welcome immigrants with hospitality and solidarity. But how can we do that in a way that empowers our immigrant neighbors rather than pushing them to the fringes of white-dominant culture and keeping them as outsiders? We talk with Karen González about these questions, which are the themes of her new book Beyond Welcome: Centering Immigrants in Our Christian Response to Immigration.A Guatemalan immigrant, González draws from the Bible and her own experiences to examine why the traditional approach to immigration ministries and activism is at best incomplete and at worst harmful. By advocating for putting immigrants in the center of the conversation, González helps readers grow in discipleship and recognize themselves in their immigrant neighbors. Accessible to any Christian who is called to serve immigrants, this book equips readers to take action to dismantle white supremacy and xenophobia in the church. They will emerge with new insight into our shared humanity and need for belonging and liberation.Karen González is a speaker, writer, storyteller, and immigrant advocate, who herself immigrated from Guatemala as a child.
