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.

...From Empire: Messiahs, Kings, and Rulers w/ Barnabas Lin

September 11, 2024 • Brandi Miller • Season 7 • Episode 2

In this episode, Brandi is joined by Barnabas Lin to talk about messiahs, kings, and rulers. They discuss the many ways that reliance on so-called sovereign leaders to save them has led not only to idolatry and dysfunction, but also greater enmeshment in systems that oppress and play God.

Barnabas will be facilitating Oriented to Love: A Dialogue about Sexual and Gender Diversity in the Church with Christians for Social Action next spring and you can learn more about how to participate here!
