 The Scapegoating of Embodiment and How Communion Puts an End to Purity Culture","html":"","width":"100%","height":180,"duration":7291,"description":"What if your body isn’t a liability to control or escape, but a site of divine revelation and relationship? January Jaxon and Andrew McRae confront the contamination anxiety that distorts Christian theologies of the body, and explore how the Incarnation contradicts that disgust with radical, embodied presence. Culminating in a Eucharistic vision of wholeness, they challenge listeners to imagine what’s possible when we follow Jesus’ example of encountering, instead of expelling, the Other.\nYou’ll hear:Why tying holiness to purity drives shame, exclusion, and violenceWhy disgust — not just desire — fuels the scapegoat mechanismWhat Paul actually meant by “flesh” (and why it’s not your body)What happens when Jesus crosses his culture’s boundaries of disease, gender, and social statusHow Christ’s Holy Spirit redefines holiness as catholicity rather than purityPLUS a practice for listening to your body as a trustworthy source of wisdom in everyday discernment.\n“January’s faith is largely orthodox in its content — she doesn’t throw out important traditional concepts. But, she comes to those concepts with tools of contemporary outsider culture. It all feels authentic and integral, not like she’s trying to ‘make tradition cool for the kids’ or something. She truly sees the radical heart of Christianity.”\n—Teresa Stone\nIdeal for listeners interested in Girardian theology, Internal Family Systems as a spiritual practice, and embodied Christianity.\nChapters:\nTheology Kills is exclusively listener-funded.
