Is There a Community of Faith?

This week Isabela is joined by Elise Nesper. Elise has completed her Bachelor of Theology majoring in Biblical Studies with a language specialisation. She has also completed her Masters of Theology majoring in Biblical Studies with her thesis on the Gospel of John. Earlier in 2022, Elise created Speakeasy Theology, an online sacred and silly place for the thoughts that almost feel like blasphemy. In this "sacred and silly place" Elise has facilitated really interesting conversation while also poking at traditional thought. Elise and Isabela get together this week to talk about the top topics their followers wanted to hear an episode about - purity culture and the future of the church. Elise utilises her experience and knowledge of biblical study to explain how "purity" functions in the Old and New Testament within its context. They also share their personal thoughts on what the church could look like going forward and what it looks like in their lives.
