Sharifa Stevens, BOW Ministry Team Member Kelley Mathews, BOW Ministry Team Member Protestants in general often don't talk much about Mary, mother and disciple of Jesus. Kelley Mathews, however, provides us with lots to think about from her interesting insights into who she was and her life and witness. What are the Seven Sorrows in her life? Kelly talks about them and what we can learn from Mary about being a disciple. Don't miss this lively discussion about Mary, mother and disciple of Jesus. This episode is also available on video.

I am your host, Sharifa Stevens, and today I have the pleasure of talking to Kelley Mathews. Kelley Mathews has ministered to the church through writing and editing for over 25 years, though it does not look like it! Kelley has co-authored eight books, including 40 Questions About Women in Ministry. She is a freelance writer and editor, a former women's ministry director and Bible study teacher. She has been married to John, a school administrator, for 27 years. They are parents to four active, mostly grown children. Kelley earned her Master of Theology from Dallas Theological Seminary in the year 2000 and is currently pursuing a Doctor of Ministry in New Testament from Houston Theological Seminary. Welcome, Kelley. Kelley >> Hello. Hello. It's kind of fun being on this end of the screen, right? Sharifa >> I'm glad. Kelley >> Right. Yeah. I'm usually one of the interviewers. Sharifa >> But today I'm interviewing you because we are going to be talking about Mary, the mother of Jesus. Now we're talking about her perhaps in a different light than the audience might usually be used to her. We usually don't hear about Mary unless it's Christmas time. Right? Kelley >> Right. Right. Seems a little weird to be talking about her now because it's nowhere near Christmas when we're recording. And you should be listening to this after the New Year for sure. Sharifa >> Exactly. But when we only hear from Mary about Mary at Christmas time, there is so much depth and wisdom that we miss. She is a part of our cloud of witnesses, so to speak. Kelley >> Yeah. Sharifa >> Someone to glean wisdom from and to learn from and to take inspiration from. Well, you're studying about Mary in part for your dissertation. Kelley >> Yes. Sharifa >> I want to get into it with you. One of the ways that Mary, the mother of Jesus, is identified in the larger church and traditionally in the Roman Catholic Church is as Mary of the Seven Sorrows. Is that correct? Kelley >> Yes. Sharifa >> What is. . . Kelley >> Mary has a lot of titles. Sharifa >> A lot of Titles. Kelley >> That's yeah, that's definitely one thing I think Protestants don't understand or may not even be aware of is the fact that the larger church and we could say the Catholic Church with this started way before there was any division of church when we were all united in the Patristic Era and then through the Medieval Time and all that. Mary was very much honored and she came by all these different names to emphasize different parts of her character and role within the church. Typically, as someone that would be an intercessor,

Dr. Jennifer McNutt, author of The Mary We Forgot BOW Team Member, Sharifa Stevens Who is the Mary that we forgot? Mary Magdalene. Although she was the first apostle or messenger of the Good News, Dr. Jennifer McNutt says that her story is often confused, scandalized, and undervalued by the church. Don't miss Dr. McNutt's lively conversation with Sharifa Stevens about her book, The Mary We Forgot. In this podcast, Dr. McNutt helps us see Mary's prominence in the Gospels and how she serves as a model of discipleship for both men and women today instead of being the Mary we forgot. This episode is also available on video. Resources: The Mary We Forgot: What the Apostle to the Apostles Teaches the Church Today Jennifer Powell McNutt McNuttshell Ministries Timestamps: 00:21 Introducing Dr. Jennifer Powell McNutt 01:56 What compelled you write about Mary Magdalene? 06:42 What do we Protestants tend to forget about Mary Magdalene? 09:06 Who is she according to the biblical account? 19:48 A hermeneutic of surprise 23:38 Her story shows God's power. 27:41 Advice for women called to ministry but limited in opportunity 31:57 Who are the people whom we tend to overlook today? 35:05 Why read the book, The Mary We Forgot? TranscriptSharifa >> Hi, and welcome to another episode of Beyond Ordinary Women. My name is Sharifa Stevens, and I have the distinct honor of welcoming Dr. McNutt to our program today. Let me tell you a little bit about this scholar Jennifer Powell McNutt is the Franklin S. Dyrness Chair of Biblical and Theological Studies and Professor of Theology and History of Christianity at Wheaton College. She is an award-winning author, a fellow in the Royal Historical Society and an ordained teaching elder in the Presbyterian tradition. Dr. McNutt serves as a Parish Associate at her church and regularly speaks at universities, seminaries and churches across the country. She and her husband co-founded McNuttshell Ministries, which is fun to say, which serves as a bridge between the Academy and the church. They live with their three children in Winfield, Illinois. Dr. McNutt is also the author of a book that we are talking about today, which is called The Mary We Forgot. Go out and get it. Dr. McNutt, it's an honor to be with you today. Thank you for coming. Dr. McNutt >> Thank you so much for having me. I'm delighted to meet you and to get connected with your ministry and the good work that you're doing. Sharifa >> Thank you. Well, why don't we just dive right into it? So what compelled you to write The Mary We Forgot? And how did that conviction sustain you through the research and writing and in the process through the years—working and children? Dr. McNutt >> Yes, I think, it's been a long journey with Mary Magdalene. I talk a little bit about that journey in my book—about going to see Jesus Christ Superstar as a teenager and being super confused. And sort of wondering and I think, you know, because of the fact that in my church, we really did include the women of the Bible. But with Mary Magdalene, it was so very muddled, very confused about who she was and what she means when she is this first witness at the empty tomb and before the risen Christ on that Easter Sunday. You know, there's so many questions. I think as a woman who was drawn and called to ministry, I have been, you know, wanting to understand the Gospels and women in the Gospels and how they have contributed to Jesus's ministry. And also in the Pauline epistles as well. I think there are other women that I would go to before I would go to Mary Magdalene. And a lot of that had to do with kind of the back story that, you know, traveled with her everywhere. Then, you know, later as a scholar, I worked on the history of the Bible and history of the interpretation of the Bible. And I focused on the Reformation. And it was just so interesting to see how the reformers—both the male refor...

Nika Spaulding Sharifa Stevens Cultivating joy is an important part of our discipleship, as Nika Spaulding explains to Sharifa Stevens, BOW Team Member. Nika explains what joy is and why it is important for disciples of Jesus to manifest this fruit of the Spirit. We can have joy even when experiencing sorrow and duress. Both can be true at once. Cultivating joy in any situation of life allows us to look more like Jesus, especially during this time when leaders are causing God's people to fear. This episode is also available on video if you prefer watching it. Timestamps: 00:33 –Introductions 02:47 - What is joy and how do we see it in others? 07:37 - God delights in us 14:50 - How does believing that God delights in us affect us? 15:17 - God's love and joy are constant 16:00 - What does cultivating joy look like? 21:45 - Joy under duress and sorrow 25:14 - Feeling two things at once 28:00 – Jesus' example 29:19 – Giving people permission to lament 30:54 - Importance of modeling joy 34:03 - The goal is looking like Jesus 34:10 - Joy is vulnerable 38:49 - Resources Resources The Other Half of Church: Christian Community, Brain Science, and Overcoming Spiritual Stagnation By Jim Wilder BOW series with Nika Spaulding on Lament: 1- Understanding Lament and 2- Practicing Lament. TranscriptSharifa >> Hello everyone, and welcome to another episode of Beyond Ordinary Women. I am your host for today, Sharifa Stevens and I have the distinct pleasure of talking with Nika Spaulding today. Let me tell you a little bit about Nika. Nika is a proud graduate of both the University of Oklahoma and Dallas Theological Seminary, where she has a Master of Theology. She's currently working on her Doctor of Ministry at Northern Seminary. God gave her the privilege of planting a church in Oak Cliff, Texas, called St Jude Oak Cliff, where she is Resident Theologian. And when she's not cheering on her Sooners, playing with her cat, Clive, who we might see later, or enjoying a good meal with her friends, she's probably sneaking off to Oklahoma to snuggle with her favorite humans, her nieces and nephew. Nika, thank you for joining us today. Nika >> Oh, I'm excited to be here. It's good to see you, friend. Sharifa >> Good to see you, too. And I'm really excited about the subject for today, which is Cultivating Joy. Nika >> Yeah. A big topic. Sharifa >> Right. It is! So let's get into it. Nika >> Yeah. Love it. It's interesting. Before we started recording, you and I were talking about how this topic of joy seems to be coming up in our individual lives. And then, of course, we're talking about here. And really, I would argue starting in 2020, because of both global tragedy and then just tragedy in my own personal life, I was very acquainted with the idea of lament and grief and all of that. And it's been a really sweet gift to come up a little bit and have the Lord drop this idea, this massive, huge idea of joy in front of me. And so it's a topic that I've talked about in both teaching opportunities as well as something I'm trying to cultivate on my current staff team at my church, and then also just in my own personal life. And so it's a small, tiny, big, huge topic that we get to try to talk about today. Sharifa >> Absolutely. And I hope later you can touch on this more, but it seems like there's always accompanied with joy, there's a sense of grief. Nika >> Yeah. Yeah. Absolutely. Sharifa >> Let's just let's get into it. What is joy and can it be recognized in us and God, is it written all over our face? Nika >> Yeah, it tends to be. One of the ways that I was reintroduced to the idea of Joy was I was talking to a friend about wanting to really come up with really good questions as part of a discipleship program. So my idea was, hey, I'd love to partner people together, have them ask really important questions about God, about themselves, about their neighbor,

Sharifa Stevens and Kate Boyd join me on this episode. Y'all, these ladies absolutely blew me away. I am gobsmacked. Sharifa & Kate are the best of what a theologian should be: brilliant, passionate, principled, loving and clear. And they dropped knowledge for nearly an hour. I truly think every professing believer should listen to this podcast.

Aye, y'all, what's good?! I had my big sis Sharifa Stevens on the episode today. We talked about the legacy of colonization that affects being a Black woman in the church, the seminary space, and as a mother. We also hit on imagining the goodness of God when all seems to be going to ruin. What is God's disposition for those who worry and have been battered? I think you'll be encouraged by Sharifa's powerful reflections. I also hope you enjoy the laughter. This episode was a joy.

No matter at what age you enter a sport, your attitude is what cements your success. Today's guest and the first woman to join the Saudi Arabia Alpine Skiing Team, Sharifa Al-Sudairi, epitomises courage in competition. The 36-year-old athlete only took up professional ski racing in 2020 and admits that she has a long way to go. But Sharifa has already become a trailblazer among Arab women for her “never give up” mindset, which she has consciously been training since becoming an athlete. From growing up tackling the slopes of Switzerland as a child to enduring crashes as a forerunner, Sharifa has kept picking herself back up to push on in the sport and competed in her first official competition at Ski Dubai last November, which we get into in the show.We also discuss the huge potential in winter sports that is building in the Kingdom, now that Saudi Arabia has won the bid to host the 2029 Asian Winter Games and the reception that women from the region have been receiving world over for making a mark in a range of sports. Sharifa's perspective and lessons through skiing resonate with us, and we hope they do with you too!Enjoy!

Trina Sharifa Cuffis an international recording artist from Philadelphia. She has teamed up with vocal arranger Kristina Pruitt to release a prophetic worship song entitled, Lift You Up. The song is from her new album called Listening and is based on Micah 4:1-2: "But in the last days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the house of the Lord shall be established in the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow unto it." This is Trina's fourth album. Her latest album It's You has the popular single called It's You (Psalms 121:1-2) that went number #2 on the UK Soul Charts and has a crossover appeal to deliver the gospel.Trina Sharifa Cuff has spent many years singing in Europe, especially in the London (UK)! After she visited England back in 1997, London soon became the center for all her international contacts. She has also sung in Holland, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Germany as well as Nigeria and Ghana. In many places she is just known by the name, Sharifa. Trina sung her first solo at age five in a local Philadelphia Church of God In Christ ministry however, she did not dedicate her musical gifts solely to God until she was in her early 20's after hearing such artist like Carman and Yolanda Adams. Trina has been a blessing to many and uses her musical gifts to help address everyday issues that the youth face. In the past she has created events for the youth called Youth Explosion in London and has also produced seasonal TV gospel programs for the youth on OBE TV called Gospel World and Good News Vybe. Her music and ministry strives to make an impact in the lives of all people.

London-based musician, producer, artist and DJ, Sharifa explains how being raised in a closed-minded town in the East Midlands led him to pursue a path into the music industry, the meaning behind the dark lyrics in new single, TOO MUCH, and how he's making being an unsigned artist work for him.

“Wild, uninhibited love is the single force powerful enough to send us head over heels, out of our minds and into our bodies; to bring us home to our senses. These enchantments ~ the same magic used by the flower who seduces a honey bee to carry pollen for his petalled love ~ hope to entice you to love the world in ways you have forgotten.”  — SHARIFA OPPENHEIMERJoin us in discussion with renowned teacher and author, Sharifa Oppenheimer about the reflection of Sacred Earth and Sacred Self, mirroring our inner and outer worlds. We will explore this connection especially in deepening our kinship with Nature.“Come close ~ lie down in the generous arms of the wild. She is exhilarating, nurturing, dangerous, essential. She is life. She is calling you:Come to love.Come fall awake.Come hold all of my cascading beautymy aching fragility.”-Sharifa Oppenheimer from a Litany of Wild Graces:  Meditations on Sacred Ecology If it's possible for you, please have paper and a pencil, crayons, or markers present during the webinar. Sharifa Oppenheimer was the founding teacher of the Charlottesville Waldorf School and is the author of the best-selling book Heaven on Earth: A Handbook for Parents of Young Children and its companion workbook How To Create The Star of your Family Culture. She recently wrote With Stars in Their Eyes: Brain Science and Your Child's Journey Toward the Self.After writing extensively from her experience, wisdom, and love of young children, she has turned her hand toward writing about other aspects of profound connection. She has been a student of Sufism for many decades and has deep respect for other indigenous wisdom traditions which point humanity toward the sacred nature of the living earth. She offers Sacred Earth ~ Sacred Self gatherings that explore humanity's biological and spiritual inter-being with our other-than-human relations. Her new book A Litany of Wild Graces: Meditations on Sacred Ecology (Red Elixir Press, April 2022) explores these themes through essays, poetry, and litany. The mother of three grown sons and grandmother to many grandchildren, she lives with her husband in an enchanted forest in Virginia.Support the show

In light the Dobbs decision overturning Roe vs. Wade, we at BOW wondered how to support mothers and their babies well. Sharifa Stevens, BOW Team Member and former board member for Abide Women's Health Services in Dallas, Texas, shares her ideas with Kay Daigle. You can also access this conversation on video.

Sharifa is an author, editor, speaker and singer. She's also graduate of Dallas Theological Seminary and lately she has been filling her days as the homeschool mom of two young boys.   Take a few minutes to meditate on Luke 5:4-11 and then tune into this interview to hear where God led Sharifa.   Some highlights from our conversation: How the Lord used this process of Scripture meditation to help Sharifa see where she was holding God at arm's length. How this Scripture spoke to and encouraged Sharifa in her experience as a black woman to continue fighting the righteous fight and being a strong witness for justice – even when she won't see the full fulfillment of these things. How the Lord encouraged Sharifa with the concept of consistency and kindness – and to not give up on people.   You can find Sharifa at https://sharifastevens.com/ And follow her on Instagram @sharifawrites And Facebook @sharifahaylestevens     The exact verses read in this podcast are Luke 5:4-11 in the NIV.   4 When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into deep water, and let down the nets for a catch.” 5 Simon answered, “Master, we've worked hard all night and haven't caught anything. But because you say so, I will let down the nets.” 6 When they had done so, they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to break. 7 So they signaled their partners in the other boat to come and help them, and they came and filled both boats so full that they began to sink. 8 When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at Jesus' knees and said, “Go away from me, Lord; I am a sinful man!” 9 For he and all his companions were astonished at the catch of fish they had taken, 10 and so were James and John, the sons of Zebedee, Simon's partners. Then Jesus said to Simon, “Don't be afraid; from now on you will fish for people.” 11 So they pulled their boats up on shore, left everything and followed him.  

This has been a daring theme Sharifa brought to the podcast. The word Love is being misused and abused like no other. The state of Love has been defined and redefined since the beginning of time. Yet, it remains a mystery. Tune in to see how this mystery is being “handled” or “mishandled” during this episode.
