Danny Zacharias & Chris Hoklotubbe - Decolonizing the Way We See

from How People Grow: Finding Wisdom in Every Season · host David Achata

In this episode, David Achata interviews Danny Zacharias & Chris Hoklotubbe's about their new book, Reading the Bible on Turtle Island: An Invitation to North American Indigenous Interpretation.  Their book explores the historical and systemic dismissal of Indigenous worldviews within Western Christian circles, specifically how colonial practices labeled these cultures as "problematic" and stripped them of their theological value. Zacharias and Hoklotubbe believe that reasserting the dignity of Indigenous cultures is essential for the modern Church, as these unique interpretations provide invaluable insights into Scripture that a Western-only perspective simply cannot offer. This episode, Declonizing the Way We See is a rich exploration of the book, and the topics within. Check it out to learn what it would be like if we viewed faith in God and in the Bible through a different lens.  Purchase their book at: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1514007568 Support this podcast at: https://davidachata.substack.com/  To learn more about David's work see: https://jointherootedway.com/ Original music by Makete and Mad Hellelujah: https://makete.bandcamp.com/ Help others find this podcast by leaving a review.
