Confession: This episode was difficult to produce. My desire for justice far outweighs my willingness to extend compassion toward men who solicit prostitutes and contribute to the horrific world of human trafficking. Yet, Chris Stollar presents us with a compelling challenge to hold both justice and mercy in tandem in the fight against sex trafficking. “We will never end trafficking unless we reach the men who are fueling the demand in the first place.” Chris Stollar is the Demand Reduction Coordinator for She Has A Name, an organization that fights human trafficking in Ohio. As a John School presenter, he seeks to reduce the demand for prostitution through working directly with men who have been caught trying to buy sex. Chris is the author of the Black Lens which is a dark literary thrilled that exposes the underbelly of sex trafficking in rural America. The novel is the 2016 Grand Prize winner in the Writer’s Digest Self-Published e-Book Awards and has recently been optioned by a production company to be turned into a film. Chris lives in Columbus, Ohio with his wife and two children. He serves as a lay pastor at Veritas Community Church. Listen in as Chris shares his personal experience in working with Johns and offers an invitation to consider and address the root causes that drive men to solicit. *Thanks to these artists for the use of their music: Coelum, Between Nothing and Everything, & Daedalus by Kai Engel. Special thanks to Ryvoli for the use of their song Roots. ** Originally posted at MissioAlliance.org 'r2up8tnv'

It’s often said “forgive and forget.” But what happens when two parties, offender and offended, come together and build a relationship in a space that never forgets? In this episode of the Betwixt Podcast, Joel Kime shares his story of great tragedy and how the practice of forgiveness transformed that tragedy into something no one expected. Through building relationship in the face of adversity, two communities–Amish and English– bonded in a normally forbidden way. Together, they accepted pain, experienced joy, and birthed the vitality of communitas in the wake of tragedy. "Forgiveness is like keys in a jail. It frees you. It frees the person who has been wronged and the person who did the wrong. That's what the Amish did. They gave me the gift of freedom." Joel Kime is the pastor of Faith Church in Lancaster, PA. Joel and his wife Michelle have four children. The Kimes are passionate about God’s heart for the oppressed. *Originally posted at MissioAlliance.org www.betwixtpodcast.com 'r2up8tnv' ** Thanks to these Freesound.org contributors for the use of their audio: Omar Alvarado: Car Accident RTB45: Amish Carriages at Night Smicksburg Mrpeet: porsche 911 carrera s autobahn Iberian_Runa: Car Breaking Skid 01 Rutgermuller: Tires squeaking Acclivity: Amish Country **Thanks to www.Ryvoli.com for the use of their song Roots.

"What does it mean to be an embodied question mark wherever you are on your journey?" This was the question Dr. Larycia Hawkins presented to her students at Wheaton College. "Our bodies do work for us."  As a professor of political science, Dr. Hawkins wanted to teach her students that it's not enough to empathize with the hurting. True solidarity requires the use of our bodies to walk with those who are suffering. "Where Jesus went, societies and politics were changed–they were at least upset because his body was doing this incredible work of daring to see people in their misery."  "Yeah, we’re political animals but our bodies are sites of political contestation. It’s not just a black woman’s body does work for her, all of our bodies do this kind of speaking on our behalf." An embodied question mark is "always speaking the truth to power, always calling to task the powers that be in order to amplify–not speak for the voices of the most vulnerable and the oppressed–and to walk with them." Solidarity is like a bridge. It holds incredible tension yet it brings together what is and what ought to be. In this episode, Dr. Hawkins shares her story of liminality as she stepped out onto the bridge of solidarity in the midst of a theo-political storm. Dr. Larycia Hawkins is a fellow at the Institute for Advanced Studies in Culture at the University of Virginia. She was previously the founder of the Peace and Conflict Studies program and tenured professor at Wheaton College. Her work engages the intersections of race/ethnicity, religion, and politics. Dr. Hawkins’s research explores what it means to transcend theoretical solidarity with the oppressed and move to actual, embodied solidarity with the oppressed. Dr. Hawkins kicked up a storm of controversy when she wore a hijab in order to highlight the impact of Islamophobia on Muslim women. This act of embodied solidarity fueled the increasing theo-political debates within American evangelicalism and resulted in the loss of her tenured position at Wheaton. Her unique knowledge and experience have made her a sought after speaker and leader of interfaith dialogue. *Thanks to Borrtex for the use of their songs Faith and Perception, and to Ryvoli for the use of their song Roots. ** Originally posted at MissioAlliance.org

Theologian Megan DeFranza is a bridge-builder in a war zone. As culture battles rage around issues of gender and sexuality, Megan assists Christian communities through controversial conversations related to sex, gender, and sexuality.  Listen as Megan unpacks the Relational View of the imago Dei in Part 4 of the Betwixt Podcast series, "The Image of God & the Feminine Experience." Emerging from and in response to existential thought, modern Christianity recast the imago Dei as primarily relational in nature. Humans manifest the likeness of God when they are in relationship with both God and one another.   Megan explores how the body, particularly sexuality and gender, became deeply significant within this framework. She affirms that all people are made in the image of God — male, female, and intersex – and in relationship with one another, we reveal the complexity and mystery of God. "We were never meant to image God on our own. We are always called into communion – into union with God. And union with God is union with all of our siblings in Christ.” Tracing the roots of the Relational View, this episode pays particular attention to Karl Barth's gender binary ideology as essential to the image of God. Because God (plural) created male and female in his image, Barth argues that the unity in differentiation of the male/female relationship reveals the essence of the relationality of the Godhead. While many consider this a "win" for women, DeFranza raises the question: Does this view leave out people for whom those categories are not neat or clean or clear? “Intersex people are among the many whose voices have been silenced . . . Many don’t feel safe to admit they are intersex to begin with let alone do theological reflection.” Sex difference and theology is at the heart of Dr. Megan DeFranza's scholarship.  She is visiting Researcher at Boston University’s School of Theology and a Research Associate with the Institute for the BioCultural Study of Religion’s Sex Differences Project.  Megan is hard at work on the forthcoming documentary film Intersex & Faith which tells the extraordinary stories of five intersex people, allowing viewers to experience what it feels like to be invisible in our culture and subject to abuse and shame simply for being born different. Their stories also illuminate unique perspectives about gender, faith, and life; perspectives which are particularly timely for a culture conflicted by questions about sex and gender. *Special thanks to Ryvoli for sharing their music.

"Edgeman" Walter Brueggemann helps kick off this introductory Betwixt Podcast episode. We explore themes of prophetic imagination, sacrament, liminality, wilderness and the failed world of white domination. As a special treat, he reads some of his poetic prayers. “The old world of white domination has failed . . .  we are seeing the anger and the fear and the hate about how uneasy we are of having to live in that moment.” - Walter Brueggemann *Special thanks to Ryvoli and Tudor Consort for sharing their music and to contributors of freesound.org.
