#63: Introducing Material Histories with Deb McGuire

from Making Meaning · host Ruth Singer

Making Histories is a new mini-series of Making Meaning Podcast with special guest co-host Deb McGuire. Deb is a brilliant historian, specialising in emotional histories of quilting, but she's incredibly knowledgable about all kinds of things. We have so many overlapping interests and things we really want to talk about in the world of textile making, textile histories and human stories. I've been thinking about a podcast co-host for a while, and when I talked to Deb for episodes 48 and 49, I just wanted to carry on talking! So we've made that a formal arrangement now and I am delighted to share the first episode of our conversations. I absolutely love talking to Deb and I am sure you will enjoy it too. In this episode we talk about the things we are both working on at the moment, the narratives and research we are each exploring and where they cross over in a project about hands and making.

The Ten Commandments Chad Boersema Many focus on MAKING disciples, we hope to help in the process of BEING a disciple of Jesus. Understanding the ten commandments can be a good place to reflect on, as they were one of Israel's first introductions to learning how to relate to God and live in His way. Jesus also references the commandments in his sermon on the mount saying, “...whoever does them [the commandments] will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.” (Matthew 5:19) Looking forward to exploring these with you!
