Epiphany 2 Year B

NerdsAtChurch is a podcast with Rev. Emily E. Ewing (they) and Rev. Kay Rohloff (she), where we nerd out about the scripture readings we hear at church and their connections to all things nerdery!

(This episode was recorded before Christmas)

Join us to explore how we connect the scripture for the Second Sunday after Epiphany, which falls on January 17 this year, in new and nerdy ways, including our deep dive into ethics around bodies in the Bible!

The scripture we refer to for this episode can be found here. We talked about feminist theology around bodies, which you can explore more in the books Pastor Emily recommends, “From Feminist Theology to Indecent Theology” or “Liberation Theology and Sexuality,” both by Marcella Althaus-Reed. Also, if you want to learn more about disability/mental health theology and praxis, “Blessed Are the Crazy: Breaking the Silence about Mental Illness, Family, & Church” by Sarah Griffith Lund is the book Pastor Kay is looking forward to reading.

CN: we talk about bodies, sex work, and the biblical word often translated as “fornication” in our Deep Dive and for the second reading, and also nonconsenting control or influence over others during the second reading.
