...From Empire: State Religion w/ Erna Kim Hackett and Barnabas Lin

from Reclaiming My Theology

In this epsiode Brandi is joined by Barnabas Lin and Erna Kim Hackett to talk about state religion and the ways that empires  (throughout history) take on religious identities, co-opt them, and twist exploit them for power, privilege, and influence. This conversation was inspired by a recent trip they took to the West Bank and work that Brandi has been doing to learn about the genocide in Gaza and the current reality of the West Bank. The imperial ideas that shape the U.S. are exported, refined and given back to us, creating cycles of structural violence. This conversation and their upcoming podcast explore these ideas in depth. You can find them on instagram @rethinking_palestinehttps://www.instagram.com/rethinking_palestine/Or on their website at www.rethinkingpalestine.com You can find their podcast where ever you get your podcasts! https://open.spotify.com/show/1ozlT8WWGzGX04BDypaQwYTaking our theology back from ideas and systems that oppress. @reclaimingmytheology
