  Liberation Theology: When the Marginalized Become Our Teachers

  Aug 19, 202617 min

  In this episode, The Unintentional Heretic explores liberation theology and the way the Gospel sounds different when it is read from the underside of power, among the poor, oppressed, excluded, and marginalized. Rather than replacing faith with politics, liberation theology asks whether the God of Exodus, the prophets, Mary’s Magnificat, and Jesus’ good news to the poor has always been calling the church toward justice, dignity, and liberation. Would love to hear your thoughts!

  Aug 9, 20266 min

  In this episode, The Unintentional Heretic explores how Christianity and Buddhism can speak to one another without forcing either tradition to become something it is not.

Would love to hear your thoughts!

  Baptized Patriarchy: When Toxic Masculinity Hides Behind Scripture

  Aug 5, 202618 min

  In this episode, The Unintentional Heretic explores how “biblical manhood” often baptizes patriarchy and toxic masculinity with sacred language, constricting men, silencing women, and hiding domination behind claims of biblical order. But Scripture also offers a deeper invitation into mutuality and freedom, where women are honored as prophets, disciples, deacons, apostles, and witnesses to resurrection, and men are set free from brittle strength, control, and the harmful assumptions of toxic masculinity. Would love to hear your thoughts!

  The Cloud of Unknowing: Losing Your Grip on God to Fall Deeper into Love

  Aug 2, 20266 minS1

  In this episode, The Unintentional Heretic explores The Cloud of Unknowing and its invitation into a faith that moves beyond analysis, certainty, and the need to master God with the mind. This anonymous medieval text reminds us that God is not finally known through control or explanation, but through love, surrender, silence, and the deep humility of unknowing. Would love to hear your thoughts!
