706: The Second Slap plus Leah Libresco Sargeant
The Holy Post
Power, story, and returning to Jesus
Discussion of reading biblical stories as lenses to resist unchecked power and Harris's renewed interest in Jesus.
We've all heard the stories of people raised within American evangelicalism who became disillusioned because of abuse, scandals, or political idolatry. Some migrated to more progressive church traditions while others deconstructed their faith entirely. Joshua Harris, made famous for his seminal purity culture book "I Kissed Dating Goodbye," was in the latter category. Harris now says he is emerging from "a season of overcorrection," having seen the "bully energy" in progressive spaces, and that he is curious about Jesus again. Then, Katilyn talks to feminist author Leah Libresco Sargeant about her provocative new book, "The Dignity of Dependence." Also this week—new signs of hope as cities, states, and courts are resisting ICE.
