Back to EpisodesRihanna and the Post-Traumatic Jesus w/ Brooke Scott and David W. Peters
Description
This week we welcome a surprise guest and a special guest (though they are both special)! This week the Rev. Brooke Scott joins us to help us respond to our question of the week! Brooke is a minister, social worker and the host of her own podcast, The Divine Audacity Podcast.
Question for the Week:
There has been a lot of talk and comments about Rihanna's Super Bowl halftime show performance. Specifically, her pregnancy and comparing her to other performers. I notice this happens a lot in churches as well. If she were a pastor leading worship would reactions be any different?
Special Guest:
David W. Peters, Author of Post-Traumatic Jesus
Guest Question:
We often forget the trauma that Jesus experienced throughout his life and the trauma of the context of the world he lived in, instead choosing to focus on his love, miracles and the “happier” parts of his story. How are we to understand this trauma, both personal and more generalized as modern Christians?
