165. Complicit In Christian Colonization

You'd think, with an American faith-based podcast releasing an episode so close to the holiday of Thanksgiving, that we'd enjoy a lighthearted meditation on what we're grateful for in our lives and the nature of gratitude in general... BUT NO! Instead, we dive headfirst into the harm perpetuated around the world by Eurocentric Christianity, wielding the tried-and-true tools of militarized empire in order to force assimilation with a sense of exclusivity and superiority. We grieve the harms done to indigenous communities around the world and take a critical look at how we are complicit as current or former representatives of such a storied faith background.Our Sponsor: NOCD.com: effective, evidence-based treatment breaking the cycle of religious OCDMentioned in the episode: Holy/Hurt with Dr. Hillary McBride at holyhurtpodcast.comOn Repentence and Repair by Rabbi Danya RuttenbergHow To Make Wrongs Right with Rabbi Ruttenberg on Glennon Doyle's We Can Do Hard Things podcastTink TinkerNative by Kaitlin Curtice Living Resistance by Kaitlin CurticeA Fresh Vision For The Spiritual Life with Kaitlin Curtice on Faith For Normal People podcastSupport us:Join our Patreon community and buy us a drink at patreon.com/ravelpod for as little as $3/mo!Submit a voicemail by calling 601-55RAVEL (601-557-2835) or submit a voice memo to the inbox at [email protected]! Take a minute to drop us a 5-star rating and a 1-2 sentence review on Apple Podcasts and Spotify! Follow on Threads, Instagram, and TikTok at @ravelpod!Credits:Theme Song: In Full Color by Louie Zong on Spotify and BandcampArtwork: Yarn and Ravel by Dixie Lee Henning @dixieleedrawsProduced by Stephen Henning, Josh Lieuallen, and Emily RettinghouseEditing/Audio Engineering by Stephen HenningSocial Media by Josh LieuallenCertified Organic benediction by Reverend Emily Rettinghouse, MDiv ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
