We chat with activist and scholar Dr. Robyn Henderson-Espinoza about their journey towards reconnecting with their body, and the role bodies play in dismantling oppression. Robyn inhabits a non-binary, autistic, trans, Latinx body, and we ask if they were able to find a safe space within church for their embodiment journey, whether the Christianity they inherited needed deconstructing, and whether they could find a home in a more progressive Christianity. After the interview Tim Nash and Joy Brooks talk about their experiences growing up evangelical and the role that reconnecting with their bodies has played in the deconstruction and ongoing evolution of their faith.

Robyn has always been a reluctant leader knowing that collaboration and togetherness are a way forward, but society doesn't always value this. Robyn grew up in the piney woods of Longview, TX where they were born in the mid-70s, and then moved to San Antonio, TX for several years where they attended junior high and high school. Robyn was involved in Texas baptist churches during young adulthood and sensed a calling to be more involved in the work and life of the church, but because of the theology of the Southern Baptist Church, they were denied time and time again. In response to the exclusionary reaction they encountered, they began reading theology during this time and became mesmerized by all that they were reading. After suffering a brain aneurysm at the age of 16 the summer before their senior year in high school and surviving two full craniotomies as an emergency intervention, Robyn finished high school on time and headed off to college in West Texas on a music scholarship. After falling in love with the big questions of life and lofty ideas and never putting down theology books, Robyn gave up their music scholarship to study philosophy and theology, transferred to Hardin-Simmons University, and became a student at Logsdon School of Theology. There they found kindred spirits with two faculty members and began their journey to becoming a theologian and ethicist.   In This Episode 2:49 - What is supremacy culture and why does it need to be composted? 7:22 - Expanding language to express the full extent of supremacy culture 8:46 - Why do we need to compost supremacy culture as opposed to destroying it? 20:54 - Learning from nature on how to build equitable systems in society 30:25 - The true spirit of togetherness and nourishing relationships 36:28 - Activism through becoming embodied

Today we are excited to be a part of the book launch for Dr Robyn Henderson Espinoza's book - BODY BECOMING: A PATH TO OUR LIBERATION. The body that Robyn Henderson-Espinoza inhabits is a nonbinary body, a trans body, a body in two races--and a body continually in discovery. Theirs is also a body on sojourn invested in experience, body understanding, and engagement in and for human thriving. Henderson-Espinoza relates coming into a new body story, beginning with the deep emotional work of connecting the abstract intelligence of their mind with their body's intelligence, to explore the relationship between living and becoming, doing and listening.Combining that deep listening and living with their work in activism, Body Becoming offers us a way of understanding the body beyond constructions--political or medical-industrial-complex defined--toward cultivating the body as important in our endeavours to build a more inclusive vision for democracy.This podcast was recorded on March 11th, 2022.

Dr. Robyn Henderson-Espinoza. Dr. Robyn has been described in many different ways: a scholar-activist, scholar-leader, thought-leader, teacher, public theologian, ethicist, and poet. Among these ways of describing Dr. Robyn, they are also a visionary thinker who has spent two decades working in the hybrid space of church, academy, & movements seeking to not only disrupt but dismantle supremacy culture by focusing their PhD studies on new concepts of being & becoming, and decolonizing knowledge production. They enflesh a deep hope of collaborating in these hybrid spaces where their work seeks to contribute to the ongoing work of collective liberation. The sermon we talk about in this episode is called “Hope as Defiant.” Preached at a United Methodist Church in New York during Pride Weekend, Dr. Robyn felt compelled to talk about a necessary component of activism and faith….hope. And in the midst of the brokenness and hurt in our world this hope needs to be bold, resilient, defiant. In this conversation we take a deep dive into this defiant hope and its implications on how we participate in the world. thecollectivetable.org

What's the history behind women's voting rights? Today, we've got an extra special bonus episode to share with you! Last spring, my daughter Zoë had a special assignment in her ILA class to create a podcast episode on an important part of history… how and when did women get the right to vote? If you listened to my last episode featuring Dr Robyn Henderson-Espinoza, all about how to transform culture and smash the patriarchy, I think this is a perfect addition to the conversation this week. Today's bonus episode is a sneak preview of the Thinkable Podcast, revealing the history behind women's voting rights. Zoë interviews a super smart woman named Audrey Joy Maker who's highly involved in getting people registered and empowered to vote in the state of Texas. Ok, so yeah, I'm a bit biased… but I think at age 12, Zoë did a fantastic job! And if you liked Zoë's podcast and want to hear more from her, let us know by tagging us @thesimplifiers on Instagram. I'll pass all the messages along to her and maybe, just maybe we'll get more episodes from the Thinkable Podcast in the near future. For now, keep things simple!

Friends, we're going there - let's talk about how to transform culture and smash the patriarchy. But first, let's define what the patriarchy is… it's a social system in which men hold primary power and they predominantly hold roles of political leadership, moral authority, social privilege and control of property. This affects us all… including men, as well. So surely, there is something better.  My special guest today is Dr. Robyn Henderson-Espinoza and they are simplifying how to transform culture and smash the patriarchy. Their work in the world is all about helping folks understand their role in all of this and show us the way to lean into deeper connections, greater understanding, and most importantly, get into relationship with others who are nothing like us.   Here's how.  My special guest today is Dr. Robyn Henderson-Espinoza and they are simplifying how to transform culture and smash the patriarchy We tackle and simplify all aspects of it, including: Their take on “cancel culture” - what it is and what it does to shunt productive conversations and true action towards positive change - also, how to create safe spaces for sometimes awkward conversations “Diversity and inclusion” are such buzzwords these days… How can small business owners make positive change in their workplace and company culture that actually will move the needle forward What two questions you need to ask yourself first when considering your own identity and the positive changes you want to see and create in the world next that will transform the culture around you How to get into deeper relationships with people who are different than you and how to move past the fear of getting out of your comfort zone to (actually) do it …and ultimately, learn how the patriarchy is affecting our society in ways that may NOT be seen on the surface… And how to begin to dismantle it, in big or small ways. If you've been listening to The Simplifiers Podcast for awhile now, you know we don't shy away from hard conversations.  And this is not an easy topic to simplify, but one well worth having.  My hope always is to help us all spark new ideas, new questions to ponder around the work table, and to help create positive change in the world. Thank you for tuning in and being open to consider new viewpoints that might be challenging to your current beliefs. We learn together - we grow together… it's time to simplify! Q: Are you ready to transform culture and smash the patriarchy? If yes, this one is for you. It's time to #DoTheThing!

Content Warning: You may feel your own trauma activated by some of the content of this episode. It discusses prejudice, gentrification, exclusion, and immigration so please listen with awareness. Listener discretion is advised. Many communities create a dualistic environment where one is focused on either action or belief. Put another way: Some folks get overly focused on right belief (orthodoxy) and other folks get overly focused on right action (orthopraxis). This week's Space Makers, Dr. Robyn Henderson-Espinoza and Rev. Anna Golladay, are the hosts of the Activist Theology Podcast, a podcast born out of the Activist Theology Project. Both the podcast and the project are creating a movement focused on reclaiming the practice of integrating theory and practice. This conversation is both challenging and filled with hope. We talk about why getting really local with our activism can be the best way to live out our own beliefs and why exhaustion is different for those who live in marginalized bodies.  *Quick update on the show- this is the final episode of season three. As Sarah makes space for what is next in her own life the show is going on a break. Please check out our previous episodes and thank you for all of your support.

How you lead yourself impacts how you lead others.   And how you lead yourself and others has a ripple effect in all the spaces you live and work.   It really is that simple. And that important.   Unaddressed pain from difficult life experiences and traumas rob us of our capacity for connection.   Unaddressed burdens of trauma impact how you make decisions on everything from parenting to public policy.   Both individual and collective traumas perpetuate disconnection in all the spaces we live and work in.   The ripple effect of disconnection takes us out of our innate ability to genuinely care about the well being of others. We become hyper focused on our own safety - sometimes at extreme costs to others.   When we make decisions based on fear and self-protection, we end up generating more fear and dehumanize the people we lead.   This is weighing us down individually and collectively. Our unaddressed trauma generates very real consequences in our communities.   As my guest today wisely states, we have forgotten how to be human with each other. But when we do remember how to be human with each other, we can create more peaceful, more equitable, and more just communities.   Dr. Robyn Henderson-Espinoza is a Transqueer Activist, Latinx Scholar, and a Public Theologian. They are the Founder of Activist Theology Project, and the author of Activist Theology & their forthcoming book Body Becoming.   Listen to the full episode to hear: How supremacy culture goes beyond whiteness and why it is essential to understand its far-reaching impacts on how we lead and connect Why you need to develop an ethics of engagement that prioritizes relationships Why table fellowship is an important practice for creating conditions for togetherness and breaking the patterns of dissociative patterns and insecure attachments of supremacy culture How an Activist Theology mindset helps move past inaction and fear to actions aligned with your values and capabilities Why cancel and call-out culture fail to create sustainable change and how to build the transparency, honesty and vulnerability required for true accountability   Learn more about Dr. Robyn Henderson-Espinoza: iRobyn.com Activist Theology Project Twitter: @iRobyn Instagram: @iRobyn, @ActivistTheology Activist Theology   Learn more about Rebecca: rebeccaching.com Work With Rebecca Sign up for the Weekly Rumble Email

today, the vicars crossing welcomes Dr. Robyn Henderson-Espinoza to talk about their book Activist Theology and the podcast with the same name, which you can find on Spotify here:https://open.spotify.com/show/0EgEkkS3EFoMzIGqRo3VN4si=DVvqbB6PRlO493Bc2xMTvQand Apple Podcasts here: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/activist-theology-podcast/id1493424853  this podcast was recorded on September 15, 2020.  

In this episode I am joined by Kevin Miller and Robyn Henderson-Espinoza to discuss the documentary film J.E.S.U.S.A.   J.E.S.U.S.A. is an in-depth exploration of the relationship between Christianity and American nationalism and the violence that can often emerge from it. Far from a new phenomenon, this documentary traces the co-opting of Christianity by the state all the way back to when the Christian faith became the official religion of the Roman Empire. Through interviews with a diverse group of scholars, pastors, historians, and activists, this film shows how specific readings of the Bible have led many Christians to confuse their devotion to Jesus with their dedication to the state. The film helps viewers rediscover and restore long-held Christian beliefs regarding nonviolence, inspiring Christians to become purveyors of peace rather than enablers of conflict and violence. If you wish to help organize a showing for your church or organization, please contact the production team here. The film includes some amazing people like David Bentley Hart, Suzanne Ross, Brian Zahnd, Osheta Moore, Diana Butler Bass, Greg Boyd, and many more.
