 Eve, the Serpent, and the Original Sin of Self-Abandonment","html":"","width":"100%","height":180,"duration":7091,"description":"What if shame isn’t just a feeling, but an internalized form of violence? January Jaxon and Andrew McRae explore a reading of Genesis 3 through the eyes of the victim, interpreting humanity’s Fall into sin as an inflicted wound, not a willful disobedience. Drawing a parallel between the anthropology of René Girard and the psychological model mapped by Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy, they imagine a path beyond violence rooted in trust, integration, and the refusal to war against ourselves.You’ll hear:Why we understand shame as a violence against ourselvesHow Girard’s prohibition, sacrifice, and myth echo IFS managers, firefighters, and exiles — both stabilize identity by concealing violenceWhy “perfect love casts out fear” might mean embrace, not expulsionWhat the Trinitarian nature of God may show us about a way to be human without violencePLUS a “Letters from Unconditional Love” practice to build the habit of speaking with compassion instead of accusation.“Great banter and raw honesty. I didn’t expect a Christian podcast to give me ideas that could help me look inward at things I have avoided.” —CandieIdeal for listeners interested in Girardian mimetic theory, Internal Family Systems as a spiritual practice, and emotionally healthy theology.Chapters:Theology Kills is exclusively listener-funded.
