"Demon Slayer," Season 3: Femininity, Disability, Trauma, and Jesus-Archetype 2.0

09/12/23 • 97 min

We're back with my friend Rei to discuss Demon Slayer (again)!
The most recent season was jam-packed, full of new characters and new troubles. But we were most surprised by the discussions that season 3 stirred up. Rei and Brittany get deep with some hard-hitting topics: female expectations in media, addressing disability and the treatment of disabled people, and defining clinical trauma and its characteristics. Plus, have we found a new Jesus-archetype in Demon Slayer?
**Spoiler Warning**
Rei and I are very explicit on the storyline, characters, and details of Season 3.
If you have not yet seen Season 3 of Demon Slayer/Kimetsu no Yaiba (Swordsmith Village Arc) and DON'T want to be spoiled, skip this episode and give it a listen after you've seen Season 3.
Otherwise, please enjoy!

In this episode, Brittany shares a little bit about what’s going on in her life this summer. Her church has been hosting two college interns, and extreme heat has overtaken the Kansai area. Plus, after 3.5 years, Brittany finally caught COVID-19. Being sick at home for a week gave her a lot of time to think, especially about Sabbath rest. Take a listen to find out some of the reasons why keeping the Sabbath is so important (for Christians and non-Christians alike).

Overwork is Overrated: Work Culture in Japan, the U.S., and Ministry

Send us a text

In this episode, Brittany addresses the issue of overwork in Japan, the U.S., and ministry. While some of the statistics may seem a bit distressing on the surface, there’s also hope for work. As always, Brittany looks at how the Bible talks about work and explores how God has redeemed work for us. Work is good! Overwork is what’s unhealthy for us.
