Faith Unleavened
Book • 2023
Tamice Spencer-Helms uses personal narrative and theological reflection to describe departing from white evangelical frameworks and imagining an unleashed faith.
The book develops the metaphor of leaven to diagnose how whiteness has shaped Christian practice and thought.
Spencer-Helms offers alternative practices rooted in embodiment, ritual, and fugitive communal traditions.
Through memoir, cultural critique, and spiritual reflection, she invites readers to consider post-Christian formations that retain Jesus while escaping oppressive institutional logics.
The work aims to name harms, grieve well, and propose practices for living sacrificially and expansively.
