#116 Emotions, Elections, & Hot Topics

Over the past few years, I’ve been quietly asking some of my colleagues if they knew of any scholarship that wasn’t far right or far left pertaining to abortion. It’s limited. I’ll be honest: I wasn’t sure I wanted to do a podcast with you, or I should say, about this issue because it’s not a hill I want to die on but also because people seem so fired up and unable to talk reasonably. So, I read it but sat on it.  

I get we want to bring down the abortion rates, but restricting women’s bodily agency is and always has been problematic and dangerous for women. So, I felt uneasy. So, I decided we’re going to talk about it. And what I want to do is speak specifically about the Scripture and science pertaining to abortion.

Don’t miss our upcoming Salon -

On night one, we discuss how emotions inform our thinking and why it's so challenging to have healthy conversations about "hot-topic" issues.  

That's October 24. Then, stay tuned for the topic of October 30th, TBD. Two nights, one price!

We most likely won't leave with definitive answers but will wrestle and be more informed to seek understanding about spiritual issues that impact our lives. 

Our goal is not to change your mind but rather for us to learn from each other as we become more informed about issues that impact our lives. If you come across an article, podcast, etc, that will enrich our conversation, feel free to send it to Jackie@themarcellaproject.com.
