2.21 [CONVERSATION] A Transgender Story

Miche van Essen and Jason Miller - In our most recent Sunday teaching, we explored gender as a theological category and a personal experience. One part of that teaching included a consideration of transgender identity. In this episode, we wanted to have a conversation with a transgender person who could speak from their own experience. Miche van Essen is a Trans, AAPI, Jewish woman that is thinking & writing about inclusive leadership in faith organizations.

2.19 [TEACHING] male and female God created them...

Jason Miller - We’re living at time where conversations about gender are everywhere. The subjugation of women in the world and in the Church is being called out. The harmful power of toxic masculinity is being confronted. And the visibility of transgender and nonbinary people is increasing. Alongside all of this, we’re seeing new clashes in matters of public policy. This teaching is an exploration of these conversations, and the questions they raise, within a theological frame.Suggested Reading List/Resources Referenced:The Hebrew Bible (translated by Robert Alter) The Making of Biblical Womanhood (Beth Allison Barr) Jesus and John Wayne (Kristin Kobes Du Mez) From Wild Man to Wise Man (Richard Rohr with Joseph Martos)Transforming: The Bible and the Lives of Transgender Christians (Austen Hartke) Paul Among the People (Sarah Ruden)
