Faith Adjacent

In this episode, Resident Bible Scholar Erin Moon takes us on a deep dive into the faith adjacency of that saintly and saucy Regency author, Jane Austen. You know her for her popular works such as Pride and Prejudice, Emma, and Sense and Sensibility, but in this episode, we examine her life to see how her faith might have influenced these classic writings. Join us as we uncover Jane’s prayer life, discuss whether or not her writings can be considered Christian fiction, and find out just what she had to say about biblical womanhood as we search for God in the pages and life of Jane Austen. MENTIONS Dr. Karen Swallow Prior: Website | Twitter | Instagram | On Reading Well | Sense and Sensibility  Jane Austen Books Mentioned: Pride and Prejudice | Sense and Sensibility | Mansfield Park | Emma Tell me more about dripping wet Colin Firth Here’s where you can plan a post-pandemic trip to England with Hidden Britain Tours   Take a tour of Jane’s House Cassandra the Artist: Mary Queen of Scots inspired by Jane Read: Jane Austen and the Clergy by Irene Collins Bible Passages Referenced: James 1:27 Read about Jael in the Bible Mansfield Park Deep Dive: In Defense of Fanny Price Read: The Book of Common Prayer  All things Jane Austen: The Jane Austen Center | Fan Site  More on Jane Austen’s Faith: Salvation and Society in Georgian England | The Christian Faith of Jane Austen Erin’s Source Materials: Jane Austen: A Life by Claire Tomalin | Jane Austen at Home by Lucy Worsley | Jane Austen’s Letters compiled by Deirdre La Faye | A Memoir of Jane Austen by James Edward Austen-Leigh | Praying with Jane by Rachel Dodge | Jane Austen’s England by Roy Adkins | The Life and Works of Jane Austen by Devoney Looser | The Parson’s Daughter by Irene Collin YOUR HOSTResident Bible Scholar Erin Moon is a Bible study editor and Senior Creative/Producer at The Popcast Media Group from Birmingham.

In this episode, we dive into our most requested faith adjacent topic… the Enneagram! Instead of helping you type your dog or fuel your fire towards your frenemy who always finds ways to bring up their type in conversation, we wonder: Is this personality test essential for self-discovery? Is this a cult with Satanic roots? Could it possibly just be a helpful tool in the toolbelt of the Christian life? Join Resident Bible Scholar Erin Moon as she asks these questions to explore the history and faith adjacency of this polarizing phenomenon. MENTIONS Dayo Ajanaku: @theblackenneagram on Instagram Read: The Enneagram: A Christian Perspective by Father Richard Rohr Desert Mothers and Fathers: Who are they? | The Way of the Heart: Wisdom of the Desert Fathers by Henri Nouwen Who were those old guys?

Before we wash our hands of all the drama of Season 12, join us for our villainous season finale in which we unpack Pontius Pilate. We all know him as the sealer of Jesus’ fate, but is there more going on than what we can see depicted in an Easter season church play? Join us as we explore that classic tension of choosing less drama over justice while also being responsible for fulfilling a prophecy of eternal significance.

Following recent high-profile Christians leaving various denominations, local churches, or Christianity completely, we explore the topic of leaving the church to decide if it is favored or forsaken. Is this recent phenomenon the equivalent of a Covid divorce? Or has this unrest been a slow simmer that has just now reached its boiling point? Join Knox, Jamie, and Erin as they explore what makes someone leave either a church or the Church and find out if there’s more going on to “leaving the church” than just ghosting a building.  MENTIONS Jemar Tisby: Pass the Mic Episode | How to Fight Racism | Instagram Beth Moore: “I am no longer a Southern Baptist” | Twitter | Resources Audrey Ausad: Instagram Post | Favored of the Month | Music  Read: The New York Times: Why Black Worshipers Are Leaving White Evangelical Churches Learn: Seven Facts about Southern Baptists from Pew Research Read: All Things Reconsidered by Knox Learn: What is Anglicanism?
