Shownotes Transcript
Kaitlin Curtice joins Lindsy and Kayla with a conversation that is both a gentle challenge and a balm of encouragement. Kaitlin is a citizen of the Potawatomi Nation, a Christian, and a poet who speaks on faith and justice within the church as it relates to Indigenous peoples. Her newest book,* Native: Identity, Belonging, and Rediscovering Go*d came out just last week.
In this episode, we:
- Ask how justice feels, even when it’s not labeled Christian
- Hold up the communion table as a political space
- Unpack how to listen to voices who have been silenced
- Lean into ambiguity and how to listen to God
- Honor the people who are doing the work of the church
Kaitlin is a monthly columnist for Sojourners and her work has been featured on OnBeing, Religion News Service, CBS, USA Today, and The New Yorker.
**Join us as we work to be people who hold space for truth-telling. May we be ever aware of our inner-child so we can lean into asking questions without receiving answers immediately. Maybe then, we are able to be full of hope. **
