Women’s Voices So Dangerous They Buried Them: Meggan Watterson
Manage episode 521115678 series 2925182
Did you know that gospels of women leaders were in the Bible — and then in the Fourth Century, they were literally torn out of all Bibles and destroyed??? Except a few of them were buried and discovered a thousand years later.
This conversation is about those stories … and why they are so powerful – and so dangerous to power – that they were almost erased forever.
If you’ve ever felt like something is missing from the stories you were given about God, the Bible, or your own worth—you’re right.
The stories of women’s lives, hearts, and desires have been stolen from us. Now, the brilliant feminist theologian Meggan Watterson is here to help us reclaim them – and it changes everything we know about connecting to ourselves, to faith, and to our own power.
Join us now.
