January Jaxon and Andrew McRae turn to Mary, the mother of Jesus, as the counterpoint to Eve — a living model of what it means to trust God despite confusion, risk, and pain. From the Annunciation to the wedding at Cana to the grief of the Crucifixion, they explore how Mary’s trust gave birth to divine Love in the world.\nYou’ll hear:How Mary’s response to lack at Cana rewrites Eve’s story in the GardenWhy faith is actually the prerequisite for curiosity, not its antithesisWhy the question of inerrancy is a category error when it comes to Christian scriptureWhat becomes possible when we stay present to pain instead of escaping or controlling itPLUS an everyday practice of curiosity and witness that transforms aggravation into trust.\n“What I love most about this episode is how you bring the scripture to life; you really bring the humanity back into the words. You are able to access and transmit revelations in these ancient stories… and it is life giving.”\n—Jessica Peterson\nIdeal for listeners interested in Girardian theology, Internal Family Systems as a spiritual practice, and the power of faith to create peace even in a world warped by war.\nChapters:\nTheology Kills is exclusively listener-funded.
