The Word As Resistance

“The Word Is Resistance” and its updated version "The Word As Resistance" is a podcast by white anti-racist Christians based on the Christian lectionary, offering an anti-racist Word for other white Christians -- though all are welcome to check it out. Originally a project of SURJ-Faith, the podcast is now lovingly stewarded by the Liberating Lineages Collective as an ongoing resource to help us all get free.Our text work is rooted in collective liberation and committed to dismantling fascist/imperialist, antisemitic, white supremacist, and other harmful readings of these stories. We believe we can tell a different story about what it means to be Christian, a story that is rooted in safety, care, and abundance so that all can flourish.Our traditions were made for these times. They come from these times. So we have resources in our texts, our practices, to help us right now. We can reclaim our stories and re-tell them to nourish our resistance against white supremacy and our work

  The Word As Resistance

  TWAR 9.20.26 From Master to Mother

  Sep 11, 202651 min

  Join Rev. Liz Kearny and special guest Rev. Addie Domske as they encounter a God in Exodus 16:2-15 who tenderly responds to the Hebrew people's cry for food and sustenance with bread from heaven (and some quail!). How might we imagine God in this text as a mother, a nurturing parent, who is helping a traumatized people relearn in their bodies how to trust enoughness and rest? And what gifts can this offer us as we build up abolitionist communities grounded in consent, abundance, and healing? Transcript available here: bit.ly/TWARepisodes
