Fearless Questions

Following our Questions to Freedom

Episode 16: Sarah Bessey

You are in for a treat today!  If you haven’t already read Sarah Bessey’s books  (Jesus Feminist / Out of Sorts) or heard her speaking somewhere around the world, then you are a little late to the party, but it’s still a party, so come on in!

Sarah is a deep thinker who has an amazing ability to bring important thoughts about God and a life of faith into everyday language.

       

On today’s episode of the podcast, you’ll get to hear Sarah talk about:

  • Women in scripture and the ways that Paul’s writings sometimes get misunderstood.
  • How Bullfrogs & Butterflies helped Sarah’s family first start looking for Jesus
  • Why people sometimes become good at following ‘churchianty’ rather than ‘Christianity’ and the tragedy of people sometimes losing track of Jesus while being apart of the church
  • What drove Sarah and her husband (a pastor at the time) to leave the church, but then come back 6 years later
  • Her regrets of being so hard on some people when she left the church and the grief of the whole process
  • Sarah discusses the stages of faith development (from James Fowler) and how that sometimes works out in churches
  • The parallels of childbirth and our personal spiritual journeys

…and so much more!

Listen in…pick-up one of her books…and enjoy!
