They emphasize the importance of moving beyond rigid definitions, acknowledging God’s presence in love, justice, and creation. They also explore gendered language around God, how historical and cultural contexts have influenced theological perspectives, and the necessity of holding an expansive and evolving view of the divine.Through biblical stories, including the prodigal son and the parable of the lost sheep, they highlight God’s relentless love, creative nature, and desire for relationship with humanity. The episode encourages listeners to remain open to expanding their understanding of God, embracing both mystery and revelation.Join the conversation as they challenge traditional frameworks, invite questions, and remind listeners that wherever love is present, so is God.
