Reclaiming My Theology
Brandi Miller
Reclaiming My Theology is a podcast and community taking our theology back from ideas and systems that oppress. My name is Brandi Miller, some of you know me as @brandinico in online spaces. For over a decade, I have been exploring, unlearing, and reimagining my faith outside of systemic oppression and want to bring you along with me! Each season of the podcast will be a deep dive into a form of systemic oppression and ask how the values of oppressive ideas shape our hearts, minds, politics, and lived experiences. There are so many things to reclaim our theology from: white supremacy, patriarchy and misogyny, capitalism, homophobia, ableism and more. As we launch our first season, we will be reclaiming our theology from white supremacy. Each episode, I will talk to a guest about how the attributes of oppressive ideologies have infiltrated how we see ourselves, each other, and God. We will learn from marginalized communities who practice a different way, and seek to create a more just faith experience together.

...From White Supremacy: Either/Or (Binary) Thinking w/ Sarah Akutagawa
In this episode, Brandi sits down (you know virtually...because we are still in a pandemic) with Sarah Akutagawa to talk about either/or thinking. We talk about how binary thinking starts early and impacts almost all parts of how we see God, ourselves, and each other. We talk about how living in the both/and offers freedom to throw off the falseness that white supremacy puts on, and in doing so, that we can become more free.
