MOTHER GOD - Seeing God as the Mother
Manage episode 416681316 series 3551319
In today's podcast we delve into the sacred realms of spirituality and theology through a unique lens. I'm your host, Joanna Whaley , and in todays episode, we will explore the profound concept of God as a nurturing and encompassing Mother, particularly from a queer theological standpoint.
In a world where traditional depictions of the divine often reinforce patriarchal structures, we invite you to join us on a journey of reimagining. We'll challenge preconceived notions and celebrate the diversity of gender expressions and identities within the divine realm.
In this episode we will begin with an interview with Colleen Wisser-Whaley the hosts mother. We will explore the idea of Gods love as a mother this week.
