Episode 35: #GriefAND Theology featuring Kat Armas. Kat is a Cuban American writer and podcaster from Miami, FL. Her first book, Abuelita Faith: What Women on the Margins Teach Us About Wisdom, Persistence and Strength, sits at the intersection of women, decolonialism, the Bible, and Cuban identity. She also explores these topics and more on her podcast, The Protagonistas, which centers the voices of Black, Indigenous, and other women of color in theological spaces.

We are all interconnected, all of us are hand in hand, and all of us have our own role to play. As long as we are faithful and committed to whatever it is that we are called to do, then we are going to do huge things if we are committed to doing it together.
Kat Armas

In this episode, Kat Armas begins our conversation by sharing a little bit about her story growing up as a Cuban American women. She shares about how she had to wrestle with her identity, particularly with being a woman theologian. Kat then goes on to share about what grieves her, specifically the issue of the exploitation of essential workers. Our conversation touches on the fact that we as part of the body of Christ not expected to try and do everything. We cannot do everything, otherwise we will become fatigued, but we can do the part that the Lord has given to us well. Kat also shares the inspiration behind her book Abuelita Faith and how her grandmother’s faith inspired her to look at life through a different lens. To see that despite the pain and trials life brings we can still say “gloria a Dios”.

A Sojourner’s Truth Podcast: #GriefAND Lament Part 1

Episode 33: #GriefAND Lament Part 1 featuring Soong-Chan Rah. Profesor Rah (ThD, Duke Divinity School) is Robert Munger Professor of Evangelism at Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena, California. He is the author of Prophetic Lament, The Next Evangelicalism, and Many Colors, as well as coauthor of Unsettling Truths, Forgive Us, and Return to Justice. In addition to serving as founding senior pastor of the multiethnic, urban ministry-focused Cambridge Community Fellowship Church (CCFC), Rah has been a part of four different church-planting efforts and served with InterVarsity Christian Fellowship in Boston.

Because the church has not been the voice here, we don’t understand grief as a spiritual exercise. Lament is being lost.
Dr. Soong Chan-Ra

In this episode, our conversation begins with Dr. Soong Chan-Rah sharing a little bit about his story and how his life experiences have influenced his passion for the work he does. We discuss the important of bringing back the topic of grief back into the church conversation and how it is crucial that we not only grieve personally but also corporately as a church. We unpack the idea that we need to become more comfortable in the space of lament and be more honest and real about the reality of the world we live in.
