Reclaiming My Theology

Reclaiming My Theology is a podcast and community taking our theology back from ideas and systems that oppress. My name is Brandi Miller, some of you know me as @brandinico in online spaces. For over a decade, I have been exploring, unlearing, and reimagining my faith outside of systemic oppression and want to bring you along with me! Each season of the podcast will be a deep dive into a form of systemic oppression and ask how the values of oppressive ideas shape our hearts, minds, politics, and lived experiences. There are so many things to reclaim our theology from: white supremacy, patriarchy and misogyny, capitalism, homophobia, ableism and more. As we launch our first season, we will be reclaiming our theology from white supremacy. Each episode, I will talk to a guest about how the attributes of oppressive ideologies have infiltrated how we see ourselves, each other, and God. We will learn from marginalized communities who practice a different way, and seek to create a more just faith experience together.

In this episode, Brandi (she/her) is joined by Tamice Spencer-Helms (she/they) to talk about partner violence. They discuss the ways that Evangelical Christian theolgoy both creates the context for and a limit to the pathways out of partner and domestic violence. They talk about redemptive views of God that center survivors and provide frameworks for those in the midst it it and those who want to be of support.

If you are currently unsafe and in need of resources, the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence is a solid place to start a journey toward getting help.
