"Mary Magdalene Feminism" with Frances Cutshaw--Called to be Bad Podcast S2 EP 22--*CW in description
05/15/23 • 45 min
*CW--SA by a religious leader
I really see Mary Magdalene not as some scandalous little cult--spirituality to get involved with--but as someone who is going to serve a bunch of people..."
In this episode of the Called to be Bad Podcast, Frances Cutshaw shares how the biblical person of Mary Magdalene has served as a spiritual companion and "mirror" to her, especially through a difficult and traumatic situation. We dive into the intersections between the person of Mary Magdalene (how she was portrayed in both biblical and extra-biblical sources) and feminism. What can Mary speak into our spirituality, our sexuality, our treatment of women, and our view of the Divine?
